I just got a new Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer. I LOVE THEM. Inever noticed my clothes were not getting as clean as they could be. You can also get so much more in the front loaders, then the traditional ones. All of the options on the machines are great. I had a load of tee shirts in the dryer, used the wrinkle guard setting came back 20 minutes after they were through and no wrinkles.
