You couldn't pay me to own a front loader... they are just problems waiting to happen. Wash loads take r-e-a-l-l-y long, the door can lock and not let you get your clothes, the washers have a tendency to retain moisture and smell of mildew, you have to run the machines empty on a regular basis to sterilize them and they are expensive. A big deal is made about how much water they save but what's 20 gallons of water when the difference in cost is $850 (for a front-loader) vs. $400 (for a top-loader). That buys a LOT of water, and top loaders never lock your clothes inside.

After reading about the extensive problems people have with front-loading washers, I'd never buy one.

Okay...if anyone is interested in Front Loaders...the Whirlpool 9600 Steam is pretty awesome...no problems so far...

I dont think many people come to this site for washers/dryers...

One thing you might want to do is go to Lowe's or Home Depot etc. and just ask how folks have liked the WP steam. Don't indicate you're about to buy. Just be casual. Lots of times the sales guys will say which ones get turned back in for probs and so on. I usually take a little notebook and take notes and indicate that I'm just looking. I check more than one place - for advice and also prices etc.

Mine is a GE. I looked at the washing machine reviews for Whilrpool. Looks like most folks like them. But the steamer one has not been reviewed yet.

Thanks
