Comment:
I am pleased with my washer! My family of 6 makes the most of this washer! It washes a ton of clothes especially the little ones! I find that if I put too much in, it does not clean as well, so I am learning the limits of the machine. I had a top loader before and I find moving clothes from the washer to the dryer can be irritating at times. Just not as easy to go side to side with the clothes as it is to get a big armful out of my top loader and then bring it down to the dryer. It does vibrate but the washer is not on a slab, it sits over a basement. I am concerned about the door and leaving it open. Eventually it will become out of alignment from the weight of the door. I keep it open until the washer drys out. I have not had any problems with mold but I am diligent about wiping down the rubber washer. I have noticed that the laundry detergent dispenser also has to be left open. It does not dry all the way if left closed.
