This washer (Samsung) weighs the clothes so it knows how much water to use. If you put too many clothes in there, they may end up “tied in knots”, so don’t pack it so tightly.

My husband & I bought a HE front-loader first, but it was TERRIBLE! Completely off-balance for the 2 months we owned it, making very loud noise & moving all around our utility room, banging into walls & our dryer. We returned them promptly for the top-loader & are much happier!!

However, it winds up the clothes into knots and takes 3 washes to get my jeans clean. It does clean lightly soiled things OK though. I am not thrilled at having to presoak clothes in another tub. The Japanese washer required putting clothes into a spinner but I could presoak or start another load instead of having to wait another hour for the next load.. so I am not so sure…
