I think you have to lay the machine down to access those areas. I am not a fan of this newer design. | ||

The first comment on it
Where the persons quotes "I use it mostly on the cold water cycle to maximize cost effectiveness." All I can say is eww! It's already saving energy by using less water, why wash clothes in cold water? I mean the cost to use warm water for washing cannot be that much more. Maybe she doesn't want her laundry clean and wants their machine to have crud build up in it.

Nothing wrong in washing in cold water
there is nothing wrong in washing in cold water as i am pretty sure that in the near future all washers will be cold water wash only and for me a true top load washer should look like this with a dial where we can set the wash time needed and pull the dial to have the washer start and not rely on electroniques.

The ad states it is "low" fill, and that also means spray rinsing. Its not really your Mom's toploader. alr | ||

Thank You Jbinflorida, with retailers clearing floors and models constantly changing to meet energy requirements it is good to get the facts. Some of the comments on the Sears website are so conflicting, its hard to get correct information. alr | ||

I question the value overall of website reviews on appliances. In fact, I have begun to think that in some cases these reviews do the average consumer more harm than good, mostly because many reviewers are not qualified enough in the subject matter to be forming opinions, let alone telling other buyers about them. It is then the job of those people consulting the reviews to be able to sort the morons from the intelligent users, and I know some buyers can't see the difference.
Case in point - one reviewer, when reviewing the fairly basic Admiral 6.5 cu ft. Whirlpool made large capacity dryer on Home Depot's site, said that he'd had it a couple days, and that it was going back to the store in the morning because it took two runs of the cycle to dry his clothes. The reviewer lamented about why a manufacturer would sell such a worthless dryer. As I was reading I thought "wow, venting issues", but then he complained about the cycle being only 30 minutes long and then I realized the user wasn't using the auto dry cycle. I don't understand how someone can use a new appliance for the first time or two, totally ignore major features on a control panel as if they're not there, then feel like they have a properly formed opinion. Those people should not be reporting anything about that appliance, especially not in permanent, written form that others who are looking for insight are going to read. I have read some of the reviews on the new belt-drive washers and determined that these reviews are sprinkled with some of the same ignorance. I would suggest that when we read these reviews, we keep that in mind. My view of these machines - If we have had five or six REALLY GOOD top load washer designs in the U.S., then from my perspective, the company that produced two of those probably is not going to turn out something that is a total piece of sheet.

 It's clear after having perused numerous reviews on Epinions and elsewhere that it's not unusual for people to have no understanding about the mechanics of appliances or how a given machine or feature is intended to be used. Confusion and misunderstanding is common on features such as wrinkle guard and auto-dry, uber-fast spin speeds causing tangling, soaking, on-board water heating on washers and dishwashers, etc. I recall a review on Epinions in which a woman rated her new dishwasher as not-acceptable because it didn't have a rinse-and-dry cycle ... she wanted to hand-wash her dishes then rinse and dry them in the machine, which presumably is what she did with her old unit. She ranted about the manufacturer producing a dishwasher that wastes so much energy and time running a full wash-rinse-dry cycle when she only wants to rinse and dry. | ||
