Since I've had my Kenmore HE2 Front Load Washer, I've saved lots of money on water, sewer and detergent. My clothes look brighter and not dull. There's not as much wear on them because they aren't agitated like with the top loader machines. I've never had any problems, mechanical or mold, since I've owned this machine. It does vibrate a bit but that doesn't bother me. Like the fast spin it has because clothes come out a bit dryer and it doesn't take long for them to dry on a good day.
