does better than OK...
It does excellent! I bought mine at home depot in January of this year, and its been top notch! Straight-forward, basic cycles and options. It does have a few little "quirks", but what brand/model doesn't, Right??
Last only about 4 years? depends on how its used.
For someone that wants a GOOD energy-efficient frontload washer,at a good value for the price, you can't beat it. Yeah so it doesn't have Pre-wash, on board-heater, a soak cycle etc, if someone is going to loose sleep over not having those when doing laundry, then get a LG for over $1,000.00+, That will fix their anxiety issue.
I recommend this washer to anyone that is wanting to get a front loader, without the outragous price that comes with some brands and models.
