| I would be very careful about Maytag. The comany was sold several years ago and the quality of Maytags has gone down hill. I bought a top of the line stackable Maytag several years ago and it is a big time LEMON. And when you start looking be sure to find out who actually manufacturers the machine - get a model ## and come home and check out the reviews of the specific model you are considering. |

| I agree with Chattiesmom, Maytag isn't what it used to be. If I were looking for machines today, I would definitely go with a different brand. Unfortunately, I don't have any recommendations. |

| I have a Kenmore frontloader...and i absolutely love it. Our last Kenmore lasted us 14 yrs!! I couldnt even complain when it died...it really served its purpose. I've had alot of Kenmore products and they all seem to last a long time. I know its so hard to pick out appliances..good luck!

| I personally like whirlpool. I would stay away from the front loader washers. They always smell moldy. I like the traditional top load washer. I also would recommend a gas dryer if you can go this route.....clothes dry much faster. Rose and Levi

] interesting as they said on the front loaders you have to wipe last wash of the day and keep open to air out after that last wash for that reason and i was wondering does vinegar and water help to keep that mold issue down? | |

If you get it at Best Buy you could always buy the extended warranty with it..that way you know you at least get a certain number of years out of it. We do that with our giant screen tv's.

| Your pic is sooooooooo adorable!!!!! I had to comment on that pic first and foremost! Ok, now on to the washer/dryer. I'm kind of partial to GE Profile appliances.... they seem to be durable, work well and stand up to the test of time. I know this washer looks kind of funny, stand alone, but with the matching dryer it looks nice together GE Profile Harmony? ENERGY STAR® 4.0 IEC Cu. Ft. King-size Capacity High Efficiency Washer | WPGT9360EWW | GE Appliances Also top load washers now as just as efficient with water as front load ones. At least thats what Ive head from a bunch of sales people

i heard it does make the close cleaner and uses less soap - we use costco hypoallergenic for dd having allergies and i saw yesterday it said HE so that is great one less thing to worry about he said use 1 tablespoon only of detergent is all you need even for the larger loads and heard less water use which is great as we have a pool lolllll so less water sounds good to me lol - he laughed as it is just the two of us and the dogs and i told him we wash 2 loads a day of wee wee pads and he was shocked said that is alot of washing lollll no wonder we burned out our motor on our washer it was smoking | |

I'm so glad you said this. People are always saying you should get the front loading machines and I HATE HATE them. My sister has one. Not only does it take a long time to wash I feel like the clothes totally smell and are very wrinkly as well. I would NEVER get a front loading machine. Traditional washing machines are so much better. Apparently you NEED water to wash clothes lol
