So far so good!

We bought this to replace our 10 year old first generation Frigidaire front loader. What a difference, way more capacity, easier to load/ unload, much much quieter, better door hindges and has a solid sturdy feel to it. Really don't like having all the electronics on it(water/moisture and elecronics never mix well) however most every machine is now electronically controlled as opposed to the old twist knobs and mechanical timers etc. hope it keeps up the good work. Took it out of the box put it in place threw a level across the top and voila, didn't need any adjustment at all. We stack our appliances and the when running there has been virtually noshaking or vibration at all. As for the odours you ned to keep ahead of it. Things such as well water vs city water as well as the composition of your local water can affect how much of a problem this is. There are cleaners on the market to help deal with this problem.
