Thank-you for adding the videos, certainly helps to clarify the wash cycles and process. I, too, like to simplicity of the cycle selectors and layout. Always thought less is better. It appears to be a good machine, hope the durability proves to be long lasting. The tub size looks larger than a SQ from what I can tell, looks to wash larger loads than a SQ. I'm hoping this washer would be a good successor to the t/l SQ. I'll be watching comments to see if there would be any fabric damage due to the agitation, and any linting issues. Again, I agree with the comments that Whirlpool had to do something, SQ became a major threat and this is a defensive move.
It's all good though.
