Front loaders are supposed to be less hard on your clothes and save water. Europeans have been using them for years, but American manufactures really dropped the ball when they produced the first ones and there were so many complaints, with smelly laundry the biggest complaint. I mean that’s definitely a deal breaker! I think things have changed, and you might be able to find a good front loader. I agree with the others who say, don’t buy one with all the bells and whistles, they are more costly to repair, and aren’t worth it. Anyone have one of the new steam washers? |
