| I have the Whirlpool Duet - it's 3 years old. Works great getting the clothes clean and spins them almost dry. My only complaint is that the washer smells moldy no matter how much you clean it or leave it open to dry. My mom has 10 year old Maytag Neptunes that are still working great!

Mom to Marty & Maddie Donating Member | I have a front-loading washer and dryer, but I don't know anything technical about them except that I have to buy special detergent (HE). They work great though and I love the fancy digital dial. Sorry I'm no help! Good luck! |

My little Shadow Donating YT Member | I've had a front loader washer/dryer for about 4 yrs now & Love it! The washer doesn't use as much water, but the cycle turns the clothes over & over so that your clothes are cleaned appropriately & I think are not as harsh on your garments. I also enjoy the tops as counter space. They now have gorgeous colors!

| I envy you being able to get those kind of Washer & Dryers. My small "laundry closet" as I call it, would not be big enough for those kind. I love the blue color in them. Please posts pics if you get your Cherry Red color ones. I could look at them and drool and dream.

| I am jealous! I want the same one in red. IMO Frontloaders are the best. I had one for years. Hoping to get another soon. I think they clean better.

| My sister has them and I would never get one...they take FOREVER to wash and I don't feel like the clothes get a clean. I swear it takes 1 hour to wash one load of clothes. Luckily she put her old washer and drying in the garage so there is another option....I go over there and use the ones outside! I'm kind of glad she had them first because now I know I don't like them.

| I love my front loaders. I can get laundry done so much quicker--less loads since you can wash bigger loads. I did notice the moldy smell...could never figure out where it was coming from. I have the 2 drawer stands. If you get them, make sure you get the taller ones! Our soap bottles are taller than european sizes for tallness of the drawers. Quote:

| I've had the Neptune front loaders for years now...sold our first set with the Florida house and bought another set for the lake house. I did buy the drawer stands with this set but I didn't like them...they have enough play in them to let everything jiggle around on the spin cycle and I didn't like it. So, I returned them and my husband built an oak platform for them to set on. I do love the front loaders and, depending on the cycle you use, they don't take any longer to wash than a regular washer. Besides...the longer you wash and rinse the cleaner your clothes get and with no aggitator it doesn't damage your clothes. Unless of course you catch something in the door when you close it and it twists a hole in it...but...I wouldn't know anything about that! |

| we have a Matag! I don't know really- it does take a LONG time it seems- ours is supopose to weigh the load and adjust the time to the weight- but I don't really think it does! I think what i like best is not having to clear the top off! I did not buy it and probably would have not paid that much for a washer!

| I have the maytag neptune front loaders. I have had them about 7 yrs and never have had any problems. They are easier on your clothes and I think they get your clothes cleaner. It does take about 45 minutes to go through a wash cycle.
