I've had this washer for four years. In that time I've tried a multitude of different detergents and washer settings: automatic detergent dispensing, manual, cold water, hot water, warm water, extra soil level, low soil level, you name it. Not once have my clothes ever come out smelling clean. At best they smell like nothing, and at worst they just smell a little bit like stale body odor. This is across all fabric types and is not related to the funk that “active wear” can get. Mostly I've felt like I've been walking strong wearing dirty clothes for years. Certainly not worth the premium price as it barely performs its main function.
