I am looking for a new washer dryer and I have heard mixed reviews about the front loaders. Has anyone purchased a good set? I do not want to spend a lot of money on something that will break down in a year. Any help would be appreciated!
I have a maytag washer, and a sear dryer, bought at separate times. I love my washer, never a problem, the dryer on the other hand, from day 1, nothing but trouble, the repair man said it wast electrical panel problem, and it would be cheaper just to buy a new one, so I'm just using this one until something else goes. I highly suggest maytag. As far as front loader are concern, u must wipe the door dry, or it will start to smell moldy, and I [heard] that they are rougher on clothes more so than a top loader. A good magazine is consumers report, has ratings on all kinds of stuff. Worth the price.
Go with the LG or the whirlpool. The Whirlpool (WFW 9200 or 9400) are the best ones from them. The 9400 have 14 cycles and the 9200 have 11 or 12. LG Wm2487 or 2688. Have a steam wash so you can cut down on dry cleaning. All of them have 3.8-4.0. You and fit a king comforter, about 20 towels or 12 pair of jeans in them. They all use less water. 10-20 gallons. So you can do less loads and use less water per load. That's good for the water bill.
