| I have the Magtag Neptune front loader washer and dryer and HATE them. Well, at least the washer. There is no way to adjust the water level. You may save a lot on water but because it uses less, but it doesn't "float" the dog hair off it just spreads it around. The problem with that is it ends up on things that didn't start with hair on it and even ends up on the inside of your clothes. UGH The other problem is the washer dances across the floor and sounds like a helicopter during the spin cycle. It makes the house vibrate to the point where things slide across table tops. I kept wondering why my hubby was moving my candle holders so close to the edge of the table. Well, it wasn't him, it's the darn washer! Ours is on pedestals and on sub flooring which compounds the problem. Maybe if it was on a concrete floor with no pedestal, it would not do the dance. My next set will be back to the top loader style.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Thanks gals. I think I'm going to go with the top loader top. Not sure what brand though. Will start to do the consumer reports. Now if they only had a DYSON PET HAIR Washing Machine

| Wise choice. This was very strange but just before I hit post reply, there were three links at the top of the thread about front load washers. Is someone spying on us?

| No kidding Right now though it's the spice police. This past week I was looking for Spanish Paprika Picante and now there's a link for that up there. Maybe I should pay closer attention to those links and see if other things I look for show up there. Strange....

I think in general the front loaders smell musty cuz you can't really leave the door open to dry out ~ major design flaw

| I got an LG front loader a few months ago, and I love it. It cleans great and is very quiet. I had a Maytag Neptune before it, and there were problems with not completely draining the water out. I paid a lot of money for it, and there were a lot of known other problems with it, as well. I love the new colored steamwashers, but we didn't want to spend the amount of money that they cost since we're not sure if we want to move in the next few years. I thought the LG wouldn't be as good as the Maytag since it was less money so many years later, but technology has definitely improved. The dryer dries so much faster since the clothes aren't very wet coming out of the washer, and I can't believe how clean the clothes are. I was puzzled why there wasn't a light on the door of the washer and there is one on the dryer. I realized that, with the front loader, they tell you to leave the door open a few minutes so that it completely dries out. I love the front loaders because they are much gentler on your clothes. I wash silk sweaters and even some of my wool sweaters using Dreft. I wouldn't go back to a top loader, but there may be things about them that I'm not aware of, and I'm sure they work great too. It has been about ten years since I've used the top loader, and I love them.

| I have a whirlpool top loader. It's only about 3 years old but it is energy efficient and I love it!! It doesn't have an agitator so you can stick just about anything in. I stick in dog beds and a ton of other stuff that you wouldn't normally be able to put in a washer and they come out looking like new. It even has a whitest white cycle that I use for washing pee pads. The pads come out as white as can be smelling and looking like new!! It does get a lot of the hairs out. We have to use a hair trap for the sink drain as there is so much hair. What I really like is that once you take everything out, there iare no hairs clinging to the inside of the washer that you have to clean out. I had to do that in the past with other washers and I hated it.

| My LG front loader i bought in 2005 was an absolute nightmare. I would never buy LG anything again. Their dishwasher got a very poor review in Consumer Reports. I have a Whirlpool front load. I don't think I would go front load again. I love my friend's Whirlpool top loader. |
