Am I the only one who doesn't like this? I must be used to conventional washers, where the clothes actually get wet due to the large amount of water used. I wash with the prewash, extra water & extra rinse settings so that I'm sure the clothes get wet, but sometimes my clothes come out with dry spots just the same!

Quiet spinning, but the valve makes a huge noise when pumping in the water. The matching dryer burnt out in the 2nd month and again needs repair!
