Wow, am I ever glad I searched this topic. I am probably going to have to replace my 24-year-old top loader this year, and I was debating getting one of the new HE top loaders, but don't know anyone who has one. Now I'm really wondering if I should just go with the basic top loader again! I've heard mixed reviews about the front loaders, so I've pretty much decided against one of those.
I do have to wash some pretty dirty farm clothes once in a while, so I feel like I need as much water as possible to get the dirt out, or else I'll be washing them multiple times.
I wanted to be able to wash the big comforters at home instead of going to the laundromat, but maybe it's just not worth it!

Lori, if I were made of money I'd just buy a new GE basic washer. We had one in an apartment before we bought this house and even though it had no bells and whistles it sure cleaned the clothes and they are oodles less expensive!

I would choose a good old fashioned top loader, too. If I were made of water! That is our concern here rather than the cost. I miss the ability to soak things and choose a load size ... Marianne |

I'm not a fan of HE. I work for a vacation cabin rental bussiness and we do alot (alot, alot) of laundry. The owners changed out all the washers for HE washers and now they are changing back. The HE just did not clean as well. And we have way more repairs. I think the simplier the machine, the better: less computer thingys to fix. |
