Pros: Good overall styling and appearance
No repairs on either unit (knock on wood)
Push to open/close door mechanisms still working well (was skeptical at first)
Cons: Should have porcelain (not painted) tops for the price
End-of-cycle chimes not nearly loud enough, even on the highest setting
The Washer
Pros: Great pet hair and lint removal-best of any machine I’ve ever owned
Simple, flexible controls
Huge capacity
Low water use-(also a “Con” for some items)
No “placebo” cycles-each cycle is unique, functions not duplicated on another cycle
Good water extraction
Sanitize cycle works very well
Stain removal is superb—even with salad oil spots
Cons: Low speed spin cycle much too fast (about 650RPM) for wrinkle resistant fabrics
No bulky bedding cycle-not enough water fill for blankets and bedspreads, yet there is one on the dryer (of course, it doesn’t work well)
The Dryer
Pros: Simple, flexible controls
Large capacity
Cons: Loud exhaust fan-high pitched noise can be heard all over our sub
Dryness sensor on most cycles leaves clothes much too wet, even when maximum dryness is selected
Severe tangling of large items like sheets and blankets even when using the bulky bedding cycle
Lint filter often drops its load into the well of the exhaust housing-very difficult to remove the lint filter screen for cleaning without having this happen
Poorly-designed drying rack virtually unusable (really nothing to hold it in place, it often comes loose into the moving drum)
Dryer drum often hits the inside of the outer cabinet when drying heavy items, like towels
Comes to the Rescue!
