Best frontload washer/dryer brand? Never purcahsed before, any suggestions?

Question

Please share your experience with frontload washer/dryers. I need to know what brands have problems, which work best, etc. Do you have an awesome washer/dryer that you would reccomend? Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

I recommend you buy a top load washer that has an agitator.  If you are in this section for long you will notice every day people asking what to do about their smelly washing machines. I bought one of those sets and returned it and bought a top loader with an agitator. The Calypso type top loaders are just as bad as the front loaders. Put "moldy smell in front load washers" in your search engine and you will see for yourself. Or click this link...http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf-8&...

I can't tell you how thankful I am that I didn't get stuck with that set. I even warned my neighbor not to get a set but she did anyway and the last time I was there her son was complaining that his shirt smelled sour. Don't do it.

I also want to add that yeah, while saving water sounds nice and all that after having a water miser set, I very much appreciate that my new set uses enough water to really clean my clothes. My husbands work clothes get dirty andI was never happy with the way my old set cleaned and by the way when I took them back and got new ones I got a few hundred dollars back as well. My new set is energy star but it does use more water which I am fine with. I have made it a mission to warn people about these awful machines.
