Satisfied

I've had this washer for close to a month now, and so far, I've been extremely pleased with the experience. I moved into a new house without appliances and was glad to get this installed right away because we've had to do a ton of washing of blankets and towels and other things used in the packing process. I thought the auto detergent dispenser would be a nice perk but overall not a big deal. However, I've come to really appreciate this feature as it really makes starting a load of laundry take two seconds. In two clicks I can run down and get a new load going in between conference calls, no problem. As someone who works from home, this is a game changer.
I wasn't sure what to expect with the mobile app connection. We didn't have internet right away, but the minute we did I made an effort to get my machines connected. It is nice to have my phone notify when a load is finished, or check how long is left. As long as the door hasn't been opened to the machine, you can also send commands to the unit to do xyz additional washing. Mostly, this has been a convenience, but in all honestly, it's something I could definitely live without as I'm not doing much remotely with my laundry. Having the app reminders are nice, though, because my units are in the basement. I could probably turn the chime loud enough to hear upstairs without a problem, but I prefer the notice on my phone. You also have to set the machine to accept remote directives again with each load (not to get the status updates, just to perform any actions). This is a small hassle, but I have to wonder if maybe I'm just missing the setting which allows this indefinitely.
Lastly, since we were doing so much laundry with kind of grubby moving blankets etc., I noticed my machine looking a bit dirty with attached lint/hair/etc after 10+ loads (and believe it or not, the machine itself brought this to my attention... it was right). I bought the Affresh washing machine cleaning tablets, and I have to say I found it to be very effective. I'll try to keep the habit up of using those monthly and/or as needed to keep the machine in top condition. Overall, as long as it continues performing as it has been, I'll continue to be a very satisfied customer.
