I saw these in Sear's when I was Washer shopping. My first impression was that it reminded me of a toliet seat. The next impression was how flimsey and plasticy they felt. I don't see much durability with the odd shaped doors.
Now I will say the silver, or champaign color give them the Alien look. Rather catchy. The dispense drawer for $699 extra is rather cool. You can store all your liquid detergents, bleach, and fabric softners, and the machine automatically dispenses the right amount. Some'thn tells me you's begging for a breakdown in the dispense department after a year or so, not to mention the gummy mess of the dried liquid detergents and softners.
