Default Not sure on the gimmick, but they've treated us well...

...but for my money, we got in return: we can get 3 times as many loads done at once, use incredibly less soap and water, and the cloths come out as clean as could be. They are quiet, energy efficient and look great.

We have the matching dryer for ours and the same deal....lots of capacity, a great variety of settings, energy efficient and again looks nice.

I don't so much care about them being a front loader. There weren't a lot of top loaders that gave us what we got with the fronts so we went with them.

They are more modern, but honestly easy to work on. My wife repaired the dryer by replacing a thermister and also solved a poor spin issue by removing the access plug to the pump and removing a large sock.

Works nice for a family of 5, a home run daycare and 3 dogs that make their share of messes too.

In our case, no regrets....Momma's happy, we are all happy!

JMO...
