A very good product overall, and good value for money.
I decided to go for this model from Whirlpool after several considerations.
Top Loading is still the most successful all over the world when it comes to washing machines(as opposed to dryers). less maintenance, one can add/remove clothes in the middle of a wash.
Hotwash This model is one of the exclusive top loaders to have the Hotwash capability. Be careful about other makes/models which offer a hotwash option which simply means you have two inlets which needs to be feeded with hot and cold water. This model however has a built in heater that generates hot water and warm water. This is great for removing stains, inner garments, baby clothes where we need a higher degree of cleanliness.
Fully Automatic Soak, Wash, Rinse, Dry All is taken care of by the machine without us interfering. All we do is dump the clothes, put the detergent, set the program and you are done!
Programmable several standard program modes for handling different kinds of clothes are present. also all the settings can be manually configured as well if needed.
User Friendly The machine has a nice user interface, which guides the user well. For example based on the load of clothes the machine will tell you how much detergent to add. Also, it will tell you if door is opened etc. Also when the process is complete, it will indicate with a nice music
Misc Comes with a nice stainless steel drum that is better in terms of cleanliness , as opposed to fibre based containers which might accumulate dirt etc. It has the so called woolworth certification for fabric care.
And oh! the wash quality, it is simply great!
so, overall its a good buy. I have been using it for a year now and am happy.
