Great product for anyone

I love my washing machine. I have completed 20 loads in it and the clothes come out drier and cleaner compared to a top loader. The machine uses less detergent and water, so it takes getting used to. Because it is a front loader, we will probably be saving $100 a year in water, energy, and detergent vs. the front loader. It saves energy for the dryer as well because the clothes come out drier from the washing machine. I spend 45 minutes in the dryer now vs. 1:10 before.
It has plenty of options and functions on the control panel. It even has a cute beeping sound and selection sound.(you can turn it off if you want). The control panel is very friendly, and has options for temperature, spin speed, preprogrammed options, set beeper on/off, load dirtiness, extra rinse, presoak, and start/stop. It is very easy to learn how to use.
The liquid detergent and softener compartments are located in a tray. That is alright, but they made the hole for pouring the detergent and softener a little too small. However, I love the fact that the machine automatically dispenses the fabric softener.
The machine itself feels much less flimsy compared to the other machines i saw on display.
The machine is shipped with a rubber supply hose(should be the reinforced supply hose).
Before with the top loader it took 40 minutes, but now it takes an average of 55 minutes to wash a load. But as mentioned before, it takes less time to dry.
One downside about the machine is that it has no hot water heater. It isn't a big deal though, even though it would have been nice.
It is very quiet, even when it goes into spin cycle.
What impressed us with the machine was how silent it was, and how little detergent, water, and electricity it uses.

Note on detergent: The manual(very well written) says low sudsing detergent is recommended, but it also says the machine may use a smaller amount of regular detergent.
