I live in a small town where water is high! After my other top loader went on the blink. I chose the washer and dryer frontloader gallery series and I tell you I am so, so happy . My water bill made an a 50 dollar difference in price monthly. It uses 17 gallons of water versus 40 gallons. I use very little laundry deteregent and I was able to stack this set which was such a plus in my long but small laudry room. This was so perfect.
