front loader washers are so much better. It's easier to pick out the laundry after the wash is complete, and things also get washed better
I bought a front loading washer before they were all the rage, as they are better than top loading ones. I grew up in Italy and there almost all washers are front loading, because they use less water. They are really efficient, less water, less soap, and since they don't have to do that shake the clothes side to side they actually make your clothes last longer. Why do you regret it?
I always do the go to Rent-A-Center and check things out first. I didnt like it much. I have a very large king sized down comforter, and i always had to wash it twice. And i noticed with the one i had (Duet) u cant put near as much as my good old 1980s heavy duty yellow washer lol. I like to stick with what i know is going to work. Plus my old washer had this strainer deal that fit over the agitator that filters the water, cutting down on dryer lint which was always awesome. Plus i didnt like that it took almost 2 hours to wash on the Whitest Whites cycle and thats what my comforter has to be washed on lol. For someone with less laundry and smaller blankets, i'd say buy one, but for a huge family and lots of clothes and little time, stick with the old, its faster :)
yes I did/do; it doesn't get the clothes clean for number one; it breaks down more often than a top loader; and it is way more expensive to have repaired than a top loader.....and they are more expensive; don't waste your money!
My washer got heavier with each load. It must have been swallowing socks.
