don't buy the drawer kit(s) that go underneath and raise

Been using the GE/frigidair for a decade. The old one died recently
and got new pair, since I have them stacked, I had to get a pair. The
new model is much better than the old, and priced well for what it
does. The LG is a great washer and has lots of good features. Scored
well at CR
Thinking about replacing my 10 year old top loading Maytag.
Why?? It's not broken is it?
We now have a brand new washer to replace our 1974 Kenmore.
It was still working, but my wife hated it and was convinced
it didn't work anymore. I say otherwise, but in the interest
of domestic harmony
No, its not broken but it sometimes chews up cloths for some reason.

Haven't paid attention lately, but Fisher Paykel had a $700 (MSRP) toploader
that was made in NZ (beats China) and was one of the most efficient top loaders
out there. If you get a front loader, you'll be on your knees or you'll be
spending hundreds on those silly pedestals to get them up
Been using front loaders for 15 years. Also put them in the rentals to
save on utility bills. The last few I bought scratch dent at the local
Sears Outlet store before they closed it. Various brands. They all work
fine. No recurring service issues.

I have an LG. Not the top-of-the-line with the steam cycle, a step or two
below/cheaper than that one. It's nice, but it will leak if you get too much
suds in it. You have to use low suds/high efficiency formulated detergent.

Our Maytag front loader likes to travel around the basement and eventually
shook itself off its pedestal, stripping some bolts in the process. We plan

I bought a Bosch at Lowes a couple years ago. Works great, although
it suffers from the stagnant water syndrome. Wash whites as the
first load with bleach takes care of that, else you tend to get
clothes that smell like they've been in the washer for a couple days
before you dried them.
The impeller has worked up on the bearings and letting things get
underneath. One of the reasons to get a front loader.

I have bought 2 Bosch dishwashers now, the things are so quiet you don't
even hear them running, and do a great job. they are built in NC
somewhere I think, maybe the washers too? I am thinking that the Bosch
stuff must be pretty good.

I think he is referring to the agitator. The impeller is in the
water pump, but clothes should not get into the impeller. (although
that happens, usually with a lightweight sock.) I agree. and extra
washer or shim will most likely fix excess play in the agitator shaft.

We have a top-loader. If it's up to Shirley, we will never have a front
loader unless
how the heck do you get the thing off in the first place? I have never
looked at it really.

Usually a nut under the cap on top, but it varies, of course.
Excess play in the bearings in the guts underneath is often the
problem, and that's not always easy to fix.

We have a Frigidaire Affinity ATFB6000 That I inherited when my Mom passed
away last year. I believe that my Mom had picked it as it was the 'Consumer
Reports' best buy at the time. I think that it is almost two years old now
and we have had no problems plus it seems to clean well. These
The capacity of the Staber is quite small (a little over 2 cubic feet
I think), just in case anyone is interested. I checked into one a few
years ago and realized that with the amount of laundry we have it was
going to be too small to be practical.
