Purchased the Kenmore HE5T front-load washer about a year ago and really like it.  I especially like the ability to wash bulky items such as blankets and curtains, which I was unable to do before in my top-load washer.  I also like that it spins the clothes much dryer than the top-load.  I have many items that I do not put in the dryer and they dry much quicker now, even heavy items such as denim jeans. 

I have not experienced some of the issues I've read in other reviews, such as clothes getting very tangled together and the machine shaking so much it moves.
