Same story with more smart features. Slightly more electronics to fail, which matters under this lens even if the core machine is excellent.

The washer looks beautiful in the laundry room and the laundry has never been cleaner. There are plenty of preset laundry settings but you can improvise if needed. Just the right mix of technology and common sense.

My washer is making a very loud noise prior to it spinning. Sounds like an airplane buzzing. I thought these are supposed to be pretty quiet. My dryer is also making a loud squeaking noise when spinning (started a few weeks after purchase) Super upset but hopeful the new ones they send will be better, if not I’ll go with a different brand. It’s too bad Becuase the reviews were amazing.
