Let's Talk Washing Machines :) Okay I need a new washer. the options out there are bewildering. Steam, High efficiency, front, top, loaders, gawd knows they may have upside down loaders too:D I want something that can handle all our pet hair which just about gets into and onto everything. What are every1's favourites and why please |
I can't wait to see what people have to say. I also need a new washer. Yesterday all the water from the washing machine was all over the laundry room. This thread will make the job of finding a new washing machine so much easier. I have no idea where to begin, there are so many of them out there. |
I have a friend that recently bought a new front loading washer and she hated it. She said the clothes did not get cleaned that well. She sent it back and got a top loader. I don't know what brand it was. I have always used top loading washers. |
Top loaders are always better because if you forget something you can always just throw it in after it started... |

I have a Maytag top loader that's still going strong after 9 years and never had any work so far. I have friends who have the front loaders and they love them. They all have several dogs each and mostly the shedding ones. I don't know, I have thought that my next one would be a top loader, but would have to check with the consumers report to see which brand has the highest rating. |

Well, I have my very first front loader. It is a Miele and is compact in design. I have had it 3 years and wish I had a basic Whirlpool top loading washer again. The Miele doesn't have the capacity to wash as much laundry in one load as the top loading types. It does clean things better though. And uses a lot less detergent. Now my biggest issue is the dryer. (Also a Miele) The clothes come out wrinkled because I stuff the washer and the dryer does better with small loads. We are a family of 4 and 2 furbutts. |
I have an LG front loader...LOVE IT! |
We got a used Maytag top loader, the one that has the rotating drum and I just love it. It washes really really clean with about a third of the detergent I used before and it's huge and high efficiency too (and cost us only $125 :)) |
Let's Talk Washing Machines I just went through this. I had a four year old Fisher Paykel, top loading, super energy efficient but it did not get the clothes clean, and I could not wash a blanket or a comforter. It got an error code for the third time, so I decided it was time to go b/c I hated it after a while. Well I did my research this time and got myself a Samsung, which I LOVE! It does blankets, comforters, gets everything super clean and is as quiet as can be. I got a red one and love to do my laundry now. Highly recommend it! PS Front loading. |
I bought a GE front loading washer and dryer set 3 years ago. I was just as happy with the top loading set that I'd had for 20+ years. Not to say that the front loaders aren't good....I just don't think they're worth the extra $$$$, even though they're much more attractive. I had huge, super size drums in my top loading set, so I could wash/dry just as large of loads in them as I can with these front loaders. The one thing I really do like about the front loaders are the pedestal drawers you can buy to stand them on - great extra storage space! |
I have a Maytag set that is going on 8 years old and they still look like new. The washer is a top loader, extra large, and has done very well with heavy duty use. My only problem is that it has a tendency to go off balance with towels/blankies and it doesn't shut itself down like my former Maytag. I have read online many complaints about these machines "dancing." Some say Maytag isn't what it used to be. |
Recently replaced my 14year old Whirpool toploader with a Whirlpool front loader and HATE it. Lots of bells and whistles, but bottom line it doesn't clean as well (sometimes clothes have musty smell!), and I had to replace the seal (2 months after warranty expired) for a cost of $260!!! My next one will be a toploader for sure. |
I have a front loader Maytag super large and love it. Washes everything CLEAN and uses less detergent than I used before in my smaller top loader. I only use the cold water feature and use cold water detergent. Best advice ever. My dryer is Maytag super large as well so no problem with stuffing it. Love it. :luvu: Blankets, bedspreads, even plush doggy rugs, PERFECT. The only complaint is that once it starts I cannot add stuff to it, so I learned to get it right the first time. Not a bad thing to learn. Would recommend highly. BTW it is a gas washer/dryer not an electric only. Makes a difference. Sears brand (Kenmore) is just as good (I believe it is made by Whirlpool/Maytag also). Good Luck! |
