Fisher and Paykel EcoSmart GWL15 Top Load Washer

Pros: Stainless steel drum. Water and energy conservation.
Cons: Didn't clean that great. Was noisy. Clothes didn't rinse completely; still smelled.

I just tried the ecosmart, and returned it to Lowes. I really wanted this washer to work out, because I loved the concept of the top-load dryer I purchased with it. However, the clothes did not come out that great. While you have some control on the water level, the machine is very conservative. While great for water conservation, I felt the cleaning was compromised. As well, I could smell the detergent long after I dried the clothing. I felt it didn't have enough water to fully rinse out. The design is nice (it made friendly beeping sounds, so we called it R2D2), but the engineering is lacking.
