Front Loading Washer and Dryer

Question

Anyone know of a good brand of washers and dryers for laundry. List a couple if you could with it's pro's and con's if you want. Our old set recently stopped working properly and are looking for a new set. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

~~I definitley want to tell you to stay away from Maytags. I paid top dollar for mine and it was a constant mess with mold and mildew problems. I ended up giving them away for free just to get them out of here. Our cloths were a smelly mess. I replaced them with Kenmore Elite. I have had 4 or 5 years now, and I still love them. They are so effiecient I received a rebate from the water company for mine. I would also check Jennair, but it's the only ones I recommend.

Answer 2

I am a big fan of top loaders with an agitator. Front loaders and the top loaders without an agitator like the Calypso types...basicly your HE washing machines have a moldy smell issue...

I bought one of those sets and returned it and got the biggest top loder I could find that had an agitator. I see people asking questions on here almost everyday about how to get rid of the moldy smell in their washers. Think about how long you will have your set and ask yourself if you really want to deal with this problem. I want to warn you not to do it ,you could really be sorry.

This is just one example...

And what kills me is the people who will say "yeah my front loader smells like mold but i still recommend one". Do people really think they look better to the point where they are willing to have stinky clothes for it? My neighbors clothes always smell like mildew but I tell everyone"Don't do it" and they will do it anyway.Then I sit and watch it happen. My advice when it comes to front loaders is to steer clear. I know it's the cool new fashionable thing to buy the front loaders but...Be smart. DON'T DO IT!
