Time with product: 3 Weeks

Strengths: Great price, looks small compared to top-load, don't be fooled, it holds a lot. Clothes smell great!

Weaknesses: Long wash cycle, but makes up for it on the short drying time. You have to leave the door open when not in use.

Summary: I did a lot of research and wanted the most for my $$. I got the larger washer (3.7 cu ft) and matching dryer (6.7 cu ft.) for $900! I did NOT get pedestals because they are pricey and I like to fold on top of my dryer so they make no sense to me. I was replacing my 17 yr. old Kenmore washer and dryer under duress, I loved them. But I am so happy with my new ones that doing laundry is FUN! Well, at least for now. I found the HE detergent to be no more money than my typical detergent (I used All Fresh Rain and my clothes smell wonderful). I love the easy presets, it has just enough bells and whistles, but not over the top. Research pays off so do your homework and go shopping!

Strengths: Things smell really clean and look clean as well.

Weaknesses: Takes longer to wash than my old style washer.

Summary: I have been impressed with the first week of laundry. Things really have come quite clean and with much less water. I have been able to fit a lot in each load which is also nice.
