Washes well – This washing machine has been great for the 2 years that we've owned it so far. When we first bought it, we followed the instructions and it stopped working after only a few weeks but the service guy come out and told us it was only "suds locked" where it gets too full of foam and can't pump water out. He showed us how little detergent we need to use (about a heaped tea spoon) and it has been perfect ever since. Very happy with it. It cleans clothes using very little detergent
