“Not worth it”
We've had our Duet for a little over two years and were just told today that the bearing is shot and the repair would cost over $800. Fortunately, we have a home warranty and its covered but if not, we would be out that much money. The washer did an average job on our clothes. It took a while for me to figure out how to get rid of the funky mildew smell (had to run bleach in the cleaning cycle once a month and only used powder HE detergent) but once I did, I never had the smell problem again. The machine never impressed me and I would not buy another.
