The features change so fast on washers having one you had before is almost impossible. I always buy the the model right under the highest price one of the same brand. I got that tip from an appliance dealer and always buy appliances on sale with free delivery and carry off of old one. Even if you have to pay a little extra for carry off, it's still a bargain not to have to do it, if you know where to take it.
i think that is the one I have. I like it. I can set it on a super fill. I mainly use the speed wash because we mostly are indoors and don’t have real dirt to contend with. I can open the lid any time while it is filling and that is fine with me. All of the quilts I have washed come out fine. I use Kirkland pods. The matching dryer works fine for my purposes. The son has an Electrolux front loader set which is really nice. I’ve been helping with laundry since son is so sick and it also has a speed wash and is quiet and gets things clean. The dryer wasn’t working so great so I asked them to get the vent hose cleaned and now it is great again. Before we moved I had a sears mechanical washer top loader and didn’t want to move it and buyer wanted it. Would still like to have that one back.
