We bought the model before this (Gallery) in 1996 and have used it almost every day since. Still going strong with some repairs along the way.

I bought a washer very similar to this one in 2008. It doesn't look like they sell the exact model of the one I bought anymore, but this looks almost exactly the same and it's the same price. Regardless, It still works great 2.5 years later! It's just me and a 3 yr old, so it's wash a number of soiled clothes and does a great job. I read a review before I purchased it about it smelling moldy, so I just always leave the door open, except when I'm actually washing the clothes. I've never had a problem. I used cloth diapers for a little while and this washer did a great job cleaning those too! I would highly recommend this washer. It's affordable and works great!
