This is a review for the LF front load washing machine. This washer definitely cleans better than any top loader i've owned. It uses less water and is more energy efficient. It also uses less detergent, so you are saving money all around. There is one downside and I think this is true with most front loaders, water settles in the front seal and mold develops. You have to try to keep it clean, which is difficult because it is hard to get at. Always keep the door open between washes and this seems to help somewhat.
