any advice on the kenmore he5 or the lg steam wacher
If you haven't already bought one, don't! I bought one of those expensive, newfangled, energy efficient (water stingy) Whirlpool sets. It was a nightmare. Moldy smelling , lint covered streaked up, wrinkled up clothes that you couldn't hang dry because it took the dryer to get all the lint off. Luckily, Lowes took them back. I did some research before I picked new ones. I got a G.E. Profile top load washer ( model # WPRB8050D) and dryer set.It was hundreds of dollars cheaper and it has almost as much load capacity as the other ones but it has an agitator and uses plenty of water. It has enough capacity to wash a king size comforter, even with an agitator. What I learned is, that it takes WATER to get your clothes clean! What you save on water on the others, you spend on higher priced high efficiency detergents anyway. I also learned that I like agitators.If you are considering getting a front loader or any of those water miser types, I suggest you put moldy smell in front load washers into your search engine. I love my washer and dryer. I'm eternally grateful to Lowes for bailing me out of this one. I can't imagine having to keep that set. I think I would have sold it in a yard sale. If it ever gets to where those HE sets are all you can buy, I'll have mine repaired till the day I die. Pick wisely. It's a pretty long term decision
I have a Kenmore front loader and I love it. It's the best washing machine I have ever used. The clothes come out clean with no problems whatsoever. The washer has so many features such as a delicate cycle, handwash cycle, etc. I washed a feather pillow in it and it turned out great...except it took days to dry! I also washed a king duvet...no trouble at all. You can put loads of clothes in it...far more than in a regular washer. I'd not hesitate to get another one if something went wrong with this one! I also have the matching dryer. gere
I surely have a front load washer and dryer stacked. i don't think of there is any regulations on front loaders being stacked on dazzling of one yet another. I used to have a dazzling load washer with a front load dryer stack - the dazzling load washer lid replaced right into a soreness interior the a**. i like the front load plenty extra useful!
Please research as completely as you can before you purchase any washer/dryer. As for smelly clothes in a front loader--as with any washer, you need to quickly put the clothes in the dryer once the clothes are done being washed-not let them set in the washer for hours or days at a time. Also, I heard that you need to open the door to the washer after each load, to let it air out, and not get that stinky smell. Take care.
