Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Alyce -- First, have you thought about grief counseling for the rest of your appliances? I would be very concerned about the dryer and the stove since they have recently lost their partners. Second, Consumer Reports states that one the whole front loading washers work better than top-loading however top-loaders are generally cheaper. I've noticed that when using front-loading you use less soap and the clothes tend to come out of the spin cycle drier. Good luck on your search.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Best thing ever invented! Now they have front loading washer/dryer combos that do it all in one machine. I got my front loading washer at Home Depot about three years ago. At the time it was $700. Kenmore. -Bill On 11/17/05, Alyce <afwtexas@...> wrote: > > Our washing machine died (I think the new refrigerator made it jealous) > and I have been looking longingly at the front-loaders.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Absolutely happy with ours. Our " LG " front loading washer and dryer are awesome. I'm 3 ft 11inch achon, and they are serving me well. The only thing I would suggest is to get the stands that they can come with. As even though were short, the inside drum sits even shorter. So to help with your back and the length of our arms, I would get mine on the stands if we had the money. The controls are on the front as well-that is most awesome. No more pushing buttons with our tongs. take care, happy shopping!

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Alyce! Ignore Rose's sentimental mush:-) Stay practical! Keep yer drier! DON'T buy a combined washer/spin drier! They are the most prone to problems! Granted a touch more expensive, BUT, if you have a combined and it breaks down (which they have a history of doing), then you aint got nothun to dry poor boxer shorts! Buy seperates and if one breaks down, you can STILL dry his shorts:-) AND, (don't tell this), but stay VERY close to the washing machine when it goes into spin mode! Believe me, you will NOT be sorry:-)))))) Now, Rose, aint that better practical advice than suggesting you give the last rights to clapped out mechanical apparatus?????? Fred, who only knows how to fill a dishwasher, I've never ever learned how to empty one:-) Re: Front-loading washer Alyce -- First, have you thought about grief counseling for the rest of your appliances?

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 I have had a front loader washer for about 5 years and I love it, it is the best purchased I ever purchased. And it is very good on your clothes. I got mine at Sears and paid about 600.00 for a kenmore. I say go buy one, you will not regarded it.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 I bought a front loader washer when my teen age son justifiably yelled at me about getting the clothes out of the the bottom of the top loader. I bought a Sears and have been happy with it....It is a little noisy on the high speed spin. marge On Thu, 17 Nov 2005 05:30:04 -0800 (PST) Alyce <afwtexas@...> writes: > Our washing machine died (I think the new refrigerator made it > jealous) and I have been looking longingly at the front-loaders. > Any advice?

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 When I got married 6 years ago my husband insisted we get a front loader since we are both achons. I LOVE it!! Like Marge said, it is a little noisy on the high speed but other than that I an very happy with it. We also got ours at Sears. It is the Kenmore .

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Hello Group, I just got the " Maytag " Neptune and it is by far the easiest front loader washer & dryer I have ever used. The dryer is kinda cool with a dry-cleaning and steam clean system above the regular front loader dryer ... and YES I do the laundry... Sincerely, Gogin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 I know I'm a little late on this thread but I thought I'd share. When my husband came home and saw just my feet sticking out of the top of the washer as I was taking clothes out her insisted on a front loading. We bought ours in 1997 I believe and it's still working. It has made my life SO much easier. It's stackable or side by side ready. Mine is made by Frigidaire! > > I have had a front loader washer for about 5 years and I love it, it is the best purchased I ever purchased. And it is very good on your clothes.
