This Amana washer is really nice. It is very, very reliable.  It has a pretty big load capacity. We are only two people, but we do lots of wash. I work at a resaurant and my husband is in construction, so we wear alot of clothes and normally they get very soild. my last washer was old, but it broke from haveing too much in it. This one I pack up pretty full and have never had a problem. It is also pretty quiet. many times i throw my dirty work clothes in to the washer when I get home from work about 10 or 11 p.m. and it does not disturb us when we watch t.v. or even when we got to bed. i think...
