Opinions Please on Washing Machine
#1
I am not sure but I think my washing machine may be going on the blink. :(
I have thought of the new front loaders but have heard they take a long time to wash. I was wondering what your opinion of them is. Do you have one? Would you buy again? Do they get the clothes clean?
Thank you for your help in advance.

I think the front loaders get clothes cleaner... something about the difference in how they agitate, and multiple rinse cycles.
The ones I have used (domestic) do not take any longer than a top loader. :D:D:D

I have a Bosch Nexxt 800 (front loader) and it's the best machine I've owned since my Miele in Germany. Not quite up to Meile standards, but heads and shoulders above Maytag!
It does an excellent job of cleaning, and yes it can take forever... the sanitary cycle, which heats the water, takes over 2 hours. I don't mind... I love super clean clothes!

I recently bought a Sears water and energy saver top loader with no agitator. Stay away from that one. It needs constant cleaning and attention and is wasteful because pretty often you have to wash twice. It is huge, but my dryer is regular size, so that is no advantage.

I have a Samsung front loader, love it! Cycle is 56 minutes, and the spin cycle takes so much water out of the clothes, the drying cycle is much shorter. Very quiet, too. One problem with FL's is that you need to wipe off the inside of the door and leave it ajar, because there have been reports of musty smells in rare cases. I just use the last thing going into the dryer to give it a quick wipe, all done.

I just got a Kenmore Elite set when we moved. I love it.
Some loads can take longer, but I am not beating them on a rock, so I am no so worried about it. ;)
I will say, that I do a ton of laundry; since I have 2 small boys, and NO complaints!

I have an LG front load washer, and I adore it. We've had it for 2 years, and my only complaint is my own fault: I didn't know about running a clean cycle on it. I just did a heavy duty deep clean cycle, and no more musty! Now that I know, I won't have the problem anymore.
Edit: Oh, one regret? We didn't buy the pedestals for them. It's not a huge deal, we're young and (somewhat) limber, but I can see now that the extra $ for the pedestals would have been worth it.
