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!
