Amana : NFW7200TW 27 Front-Load Washer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I conducted a LOT of research before we decided on this Amana front load washing machine. Our 13 year old Kenmore top loader finally died, and we were in the market for a quality washing machine in the four hundred to eight hundred dollar range or so. 'Consumer Reports' rated this machine highly, as did actual owners/users of it on various other sites, including Home Depot's. Even if the reviews may be 'carefully culled' (as a previous reviewer stated), certainly the excellent user reviews on the 'Consumer Reports' website were not. There were many negative reviews written up for other washers on that site as well. In any case, we were smitten by the price, features, and excellent reviews the Amana garnered, so purchasing this machine was a 'no brainer'. It uses much less electricity and water than a conventional top loader, has an automatic reservoir dispenser for laundry detergent, fabric softener, and bleach, and a second rinse cycle, as well as a 'quick wash' and other longer washes, which is perfect. Our clothes and comforters (full and queen sized) came out smelling great, and best of all, the spin cycle got our clothes the driest i've ever seen in all my years of using commercial and residential washing machines. Consequently, drying time has been cut down substantially. The 'knob issue' that some people bring up is really a 'non issue', since you can re-start the washer by re-pressing the knob if you accidentally bump into it. But truth be told, unless your laundry room is extremely cramped, or you have to reach over and above the washing machine to get something off a shelf, most people will never bump the washer to the off position. Also, the previous reviewer's mention of the washer not turning off is nonsense. Of course the washer turns off when the spin cycle ends. The LED indicators that stay on are just there to remind you that the wash is done, and that you have to open the door and retrieve your laundry. This doesn't mean the machine is actually on. It is not. Another non-issue. All in all, my wife and I are ecstatic and floored by the cleaning ability and sheer value afforded by this phenomenal machine! Amana truly hit a 'home run' with this unit in all respects. If you don't believe me, go read all the online reviews, including 'Consumer Reports'. Buy with confidence.

Speed Queen AWN412 26" Top-Load Washer with 3.3 cu. ft. Capacity, 8 Wash Cycles, 2 Speeds, 473/710 RPM Spin Speed, 1/2 HP Motor and Stainless Steel Tub Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We had the front loaders from LG, steam model, and do not miss them one bit. My wife went out of town for a week, June 09, and I was in charge. About the third day of laundry, long story but we had been remodeling and I figured it was a good time to do a top to bottom house cleaning. Well, after many loads in the LGs I threw the towel in. I called my local family appliance store in Chelsea Mi and asked them what they recommended in regards to a new washer and new electric dryer as I had had it with the front loaders. He told me the Speed Queens are the way to go, and no, he did not sell me the LGs. I asked about colors... He said, "Sure, you can have any color you want as long as it is white". I told him on the phone that I will take them and asked if he could deliver them tomorrow. The next day I was redoing laundry! And the LGs were sold in a day or two on Craigs List, paying for our new Speed Queens.
Now that we have the Speed Queen washer AWN412, and matching electric dryer ADE3LR, our clothes are now clean and smell fresh. And from many months of usage I would say that the Speed Queens actually use less energy. A typical load of wash in the front loader took near an hour to complete, and then near an hour to get them dry. Sure you may use less water with the front loaders, but we can now do a load of clothes and dry them in an hour, saving time and energy. And again, our clothes and towels are so so much cleaner and that musty front loader smell is now history.
Oh, my wife loves them too, turns out she hated the front loaders as much as I did!

Danby Portable Top-Load Washer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this washer 2 years ago and it is still working great. I had no problems installing it at all despite of the fact that I am a woman:-) It is big enough for 2 people and I had even washed blankets in it. It is easy to wheel it all over the place as long as you don't have carpets in the bathroom or the kitchen:-) I thought that it will be noisy but is actually quiet and it is easy to connect to the sink. The only problem I had (which is more of a problem with my sink faucet than with the machine) is that sometimes it leaks from the faucet but once I replaced the rubber circle inside of the connector it was great. Before the replacement I just stopped the water flow once the machine was full and washing. And I have a portable dishwasher which connects to the same sink using the same adapter so there is no need to change it if you have more than one appliance.
