Samsung WF337AAR WF337AAR Front Load Washer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have an almost identical version of this washer, but mine is a different color. For more than 10 years, I owned an appliance business so I was pretty meticulous and careful in researching the pros and cons of the different brands and models.
I was very impressed with the SilverCare technology in this Samsung washer. I like to think that I'm pretty knowledgeable about appliances, but prior to doing my pre-purchase research, I had no idea that silver had a sterilizing effect.
According to Samsung (and other sources), the introduction of tiny bits of silver into the wash cycle will kill most bacteria and neutralize odors. The result is, your clothes will be sterilized even in not-so-hot water. The trace bits of silver remain in the clothes, inhibiting the *formation* of bacteria, minimizing the problem of stinky socks and smelly t-shirts. The down side is, your fabric softener sheets and other perfume-laden chemicals will also be de-stinked.
If you like using fabric softeners (in the washer or dryer), these products will do little more than inhibit static cling, IF you use the SilverCare feature. Most of these pleasant odors are *also* neutralized with SilverCare. Fortunately, SilverCare is an option and not something you have to use with every wash.
Another surprise is that the average wash cycle (with SilverCare) is 1:42. That's one hour and 42 minutes and that's what shows on the display, but this is not REAL time. Counting down the minutes on a timer, I find that 1:42 on the washer time is usually 1:52 or more on my mechanical timer. Perhaps that's a problem with water pressures, yet we have 3/4" copper lines to the wash line. Hard to believe that those lines deliver lesser-than-average water pressure.
One of the primary reasons I chose THIS appliance is that this model can be stacked. In that I had only a small space, I opted to stack the washer and dryer and that worked out really well. The washer is down low, but the dryer is eye-ball height. The stack kit was a mere $20 and even thought it's plastic, it's a good fit for these two units and feels snug and secure. Accessing washer or dryer door is easy and simple.
We did learn that stacking is NOT going to work with a 6' dryer cord. We had to pay an electrician to fabricate a special four-prong 220v cord (10') to reach the dryer. That's the downside of stacking these units.
Back in the day, stackable washer and dryer meant TINY capacity. The Samsung washer is a massive 3.83 cubic feet, which means you can wash a king-size comforter. It really is a VERY large machine and hard to fill up full.
I am very impressed with the quality of these appliances. The metal cabinets are well made and sturdy, the washer and dryer door have a large chrome ring (easy to wipe clean) and the drums are stainless steel. When the machine goes into high-speed spin, they're pretty much vibration free. When the cycle is finished, the washer sings a little tune. Very cute and something I never saw advertised. The "chime" (cycle finished) feature can also be silenced.
Clothes emerge from the washer mostly dry (dryer time is usually 40 minutes or less) and it does a superior job of soil extraction. And it uses tiny amounts of water, hot water, energy and detergent.
One of the best features is the "door unlock" feature. I had one of the very first Maytag Neptune front-loading washers (and was very disappointed in its performance). When you found that recalcitrant sock on the staircase and wanted to add it to the wash cycle, you'd have to wait FOREVER for the Neptune to unlock the door so you could add the sock to the wash. It took up to two minutes for the Neptune's door to unlock. Turn off the Samsung and it releases the door lock in less than 10 seconds. Yay for Samsung!
The Neptune also had a problem with mold (and bad smells) from water trapped in the door boot. I've never had that problem with the Samsung.
I highly recommend these appliances. They're easy to use, pretty to look at, fun to operate and they get the job done. Plus, the glass doors on the front of the appliances provide lots of entertainement!

Whirlpool : WTW6800WW 28 Cabrio Direct Inject Washer White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am writing due to the piece of crap Cabrio we purchased exactly 4 years ago this week:
This was the review I wrote after having this piece of crap one month:
I bought the Cabrio on 10/9/06 and by 10/23/06 it was not working properly. I contacted Whirlpool on 11/9/06 and they informed me that they needed to send a repairman out. It has several problems. The load is out of balance (UL) or I get an error "F51" every single time I try to wash a load. My husband and I are the only ones in our household so the machine is not abused (By teenagers etc). The repairman was at our house for 3 1/2 hours on 11/14/06. He ordered a wiring harness, a computer board and a censor for this 1 MONTH OLD MACHINE. I called Whirlpool in frustation simply asking them to take this LEMON back. They offered nothing and they were quite rude in the process. They said my only option was to have my machine repaired....and so the circle begins.
Our last set was a Maytag and we had the set (still are using the dryer) for over 12 years. Boy how we regret going to Whirlpool. Please take my advice and SAVE YOUR MONEY. I would hate for anyone to go through what Whirlpool has put us through.
BTW...my BRAND NEW machine is sitting idle until the repairman can come out IN A WEEK (for another 3 1/2 hours) to put in these parts that he HOPES will work.
UPDATE:
It is now exactly 4 years later and the only reason I suffer with this machine is due to the fact we PAID SOOOO MUCH MONEY FOR IT!!
The front is now rusted out!!! YES, RUSTED OUT!! And, it takes me about a day to wash ONE LOAD of Laundry...I get an "F1" (I believe it should be FU) about 4 times at the beginning of a load and then when it goes to rinse I get an F1 again approximately 3 times!! Sometimes I have to start from scratch with an entirely different setting.
The only satisfaction I've gotten over the past 4 years is writing horrible reviews on your product and making sure everyone I talk to about laundry (and it's a lot more times than any normal person should have to talk about laundry!!) how they should NEVER spend a dime on a whirlpool!
This is an absolute piece of crap and I cannot believe you have never done a thing to rectify this situation!!
So sad that you could have and should have taken care of this FOUR YEARS Ago!
When my husband calls your useless 800 number he just gets sent around in a big circle and then is told you are CLOSED.
I will never buy another Whirl pool product as long as I live!!
Please do something about this piece of crap taking up space in my laundry room and BEEPING at me ALL DAY LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Electrolux : EWFLS65IIW 4.7 cu. ft. Washer with Steam - Island White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's a great machine but you can save four hundred bucks by buying an IQ-Touch instead. There is nothing a Wave-Touch can do that an IQ-Touch can not. The Wave-Touch has 4 distinguishing features over the IQ:
1. The Wave spins at 1350 vs. the IQ's 1200 rpm. No big deal. I don't think there's any practical difference in the amount of water extracted that will make a real dent in the drying time.
2. The Wave has an "Active Wear" cycle. It's not something you'd ever miss if your machine did not have it in the first place. You can use the IQ's "Casual wear" cycle instead, which differs from the Active Wear cycle by only 5 minutes.
3. The Wave's options are hidden in tedious to use menus and submenus, instead of the IQ's simple to use buttons. Buttons win here because you can see at a glance what options are active, especially useful for the next time you use the washer. With the Wave-Touch's menu style you'll be forced to scroll through the menus to see what options have been selected.
4. Wave-Touch has 3 favorites memory buttons vs. one favortie for the IQ-Touch. I have yet to find this feature useful. When one is useless to me, having 3 doesn't make it any better.
Construction-wise the two machines are otherwise identical.
Conclusion: The Wave costs $300 to $400 more than the IQ and delivers the same level of performance as the IQ. The Wave is for people who have money to burn. Okay, with a bit of sheepishness I have to admit I did buy a Wave instead of an IQ.
Now, let me review the Wave with steam function, since that's the one I actually bought.
The machine is exceedingly quiet when washing. The only real noise comes during the spin cycles.
As for vibration, make sure you balance the machine using a good quality level and follow the leveling instructions. Read the manual and it's imperative that the shipping bolts be removed per the instructions before using the machine!!! My house has a crawl space. My laundry room is on the first floor, where the washer would be perfectly capable of transmitting vibration if it was not leveled properly. So far it's been very smooth, in fact much smoother than my previous top-loader, with hardly much of any vibration. Keep in mind that every load is different and each load has its own vibration and noise characteristics. Some loads will be vibration free, other loads with a very unbalanced load (pillows and comforters, for example) will have some vibration. If it vibrates at all it's almost always during the spin up and spin down phase of the spin cycle. Once it actually gets into the spin cycle, there is usually little vibration.
This washer is quite ingenious in fighting vibration by ramping up to full spin speed in incremental stages. During the first stage, it slowly rotates the wet load counterclock-wise to test for balance, and also to pump out water. If it detects even the slightest hint of an unbalanced load, it will stop and reverse direction, i.e. spin clockwise, at the same slow rpm to let the clothes to shuffle in the drum. After a few seconds of this clockwise spin, it reverses direction again, i.e. counter-clockwise again, it then tests for balance again. If it again detects a poor balance, it will keep on doing this reversing direction routine until it redistributes the load evenly. When it's finally satisfied that the balance is good, it will then launch into high spin speeds in several stages. Frequently, after it has launched into a higher speed, it detects unacceptable vibration. It will instantly abort the spin and perform the shuffling routine again and again until it gets the balance right. It's not uncommon for it to go back and forth many times for as long as 5 minutes to find the sweet spot. As more water is progressively pumped out and the load becoming progressively lighter and better balanced, it will proceed to the next higher speed, finally maxing out at 1350 rpm, during the last 2 minutes of the spin cycle.
As for the steam feature, I've yet to find definitive evidence that it's the steam itself that gets the dirt out. The steam cycle essentially adds 20 minutes of wash time to any wash cycle using either warm water or hot water. Maybe it's the extra 20 minutes of washing in warm water in the steam cycle that does the trick. It's hard to tell.
It washes loose clothing very well while using little water. By "loose clothing," I mean items that are somewhat small and that will wet easily and shrink in volume as they are wetted. Items with these characteristics can freely tumble around one another inside the drum, as long as the machine is not overloaded. However when it comes to washing bulky big loads, such as pillows and synthetic fiber comforters, synthetic fiber bedspreads, etc., its miserliness in water use is its biggest flaw. With these bulky items, the water level is woefully inadequate to thoroughly wet the interior mass. And because they are synthetic fiber items, they don't shrink much in volume even when wetted, so they don't have much room to rotate inside the drum. The same side of the pillow or comforter then faces the drum and the center side doesn't ever get enough water. So, the side facing the drum surface gets cleaned but the center side doens't get cleaned. I bought this washer specifically to wash big bulky items such as pillows and synthetic fiber comforters, so it's a bit disappointing that it doesn't clean these items well. The way to get around this problem is to pause the machine after it's finished filling, and add water on your own either through the door or through the detergent tray. It works. Adding about 1 to 2 gallons of hot water fixes the problem.
I still love the washer, but only wish it had a "bulky items" selection which would allow it to have more water during the wash cycle. I believe this problem with washing bulky items is endemic to all high effiency front load washers and not just Electrolux. The real wish is to allow a separate button to vary the water level, like that found on my old Kenmore top-loader, but I don't think we'll ever see that water level selection switch on these high efficiency washers. I think the Electrolux designers' hands were tied by the stringent Federal energy efficiency standards.

Samsung: WF210AN 27'' Front-Load Washer with 4.0 cu. ft. Capacity, 6 Wash Cycles, 3 Wash Options, VRT Plus Vibration Reduction Technology and Color LED Display Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My circa mid-70s top load Maytag which had never seen a repair call began crashing during the spin cycle; apparently what keeps the tub stabilized had worn beyond tolerances or whatever sensed imbalance was going bad. Besides, its 1100 kWh thirst and reliance on about 40 gallons of hot or warm water for a clean wash was starting to work on my green guilt.
After about a month of research, a local big-box store killer sale price with a 24 month no interest payoff got me this new Samsung WF210 three months ago. At 130 kWh and sipping just a few gallons of cold water I might expect it to pay for itself in short order - relative to appliance ownership timelines, of course.
Not paying any attention to this class of appliance for so long, I was quite surprised by the technology. They're not just tubs of sloshing water anymore. Compared to the three push buttons and timer dial of the Maytag, the Samsung's cycle options seem endless. I am amazed that my dirtiest laundry comes out sparkling clean with a cold water HE detergent and no other additives. My washing machine has a microprocessor with firmware Samsung code named... Big Bang! Seriously. Ironic in that this thing is so, so quiet.
I have only two gripes (see my two customer images, too):
First: the slide-out detergent/additive drawer provides a dinky two square inch access for pouring in liquid bleach.
Second: down on the bottom there's a filter that needs (fortunately) periodic maintenance. To remove it, 20 ounces (!) of water must first be siphoned out through a dinky little hose only 1" above the floor. The only way to place a receptacle for that is to the left of the drop down door and if that side of the washer is against a wall (as is mine) that leaves a whole FOUR INCHES of room. Clearly, this draining routine was designed with the accessory pedestal in mind. That's not an option for me, so my procedure is to remove the door and collect the water in an 8" frying pan.
The WF210 has otherwise moved my laundryness into the 21st Century when once my ancestors beat their loincloths against a rock in a cold stream. I have made them proud, no doubt.

Whirlpool : WTW5200VQ 27 Top-Load Washer with 3.5 cu. ft. Capacity White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As there is no need to repeat the positive comments made by the other 5-Star raters from this AND OTHER sites (with whom I totally agree), I'll just give a couple other comments/observations.
First, regarding the "noise": When I initially read these complaints - here and other sites (prior to purchase), I instantly thought, "Every washer I've ever owned makes that noise when the contents are very unevenly distributed". So I bought this model (based on the positive reviews); and I am s-o-o-o-o-o glad I did. Although NO washer I ever owned/used has been "SOUND-FREE" (SILENT), this one is quieter than ANY of the others - no "NOISE" - well, at least for the first 3- 4 days! Then there it was - a very LOUD THUMPING SOUND - "NOISE". This was my opportunity to test my theory. About 30 seconds or so earlier I had lifted the lid during the spin cycle; and apparently dislodged some items from their balanced positions. When I lifted the lid and saw that this, indeed, was the case, I simply rearranged the items (as with previous machines), closed the lid, and VOILA - problem resolved - back to quiet operation!!! Also, sometimes when tub is not centered, noise can occur - with ANY washer.
Second, I DO wish there was a TRULY HOT WATER option! This washer adjust water temp by alteranating hot with cool or warm to obtain what IT senses is the IDEAL temp for each load - based on the user's setting selections; however, I must admit that my "WHITES" DO get really clean. So I guess it's not a real issue!
SUMMARY: Not too fancy and/or expensive! Excellent basic washer (with some nice features - i.e. "extra rinse"cycle)! Does what it's suppose to do - gets laundry clean; and, does so superbly well! QUIET - WHEN BALANCED! I am extremely happy with this washer; and, would GLADLY recommend to my friends!!!

LG : WM2688HWMA 27 Front-Load Steam Washer - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)our LG steam washer is 7 months old and we have a bad musty mildew odor coming from the machine. It took me a while to realize this smell was from the washer but I found that the front door seal holds about a 1/2 cup of water after the cycle and that water stagnates and turns into black goo that smells really bad. In our old house we had kenmore HE3 machine and never had that problem and they did just as good a job or better. I feel the LG has a design flaw and for being top rated and costing $$$$ that this is unaceptable. I would not buy this machine again.

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.

Bosch Nexxt 500 Plus Series : WFMC5440UC 27 Front-Load Washer - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We had an old sears 'lady kenmore" that died and this was our replacement machie.
What I like about this machine:
1. The greater rpm on the drum wrings a lot more water out of heavy towels and blue jeans. If you hang dry your laundry this is a very good thing. Towels used to take up to three days to dry (in winter months) now they only take a couple of hours. Clothing will dry in minutes depending on fabric thickness.
2. Laundry seems to come out cleaner.
3. Water and soap consumption are reduced.
4. Machine is quiet
What I sometimes find annoying:
1. Cycles sometimes take forever and the lcd timer is anything but accurate.
2. Small items, like ankle socks will sometimes end up in the space near the door gasket so you have wring them out.
3. When the cycle is finished, the machine keeps buzzing at you repeatedly. I would prefer one 'ding" or "honk" or whatever and then be done with it.
Overall, I am happy with the machine. It is way way better than the top loading antique we were using!!!

Whirlpool : WTW6200VW 28 Top-Load Washer with 4.5 cu. ft. Capacity White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this washer in Sept 2009. It stopped working 15 months later. Repairman said "defective wash basket balance ring" and "had never seen this before". Also, he doubted he could get parts since the Whirlpool website says these parts are discontinued. Also "the tub bearings are starting to fail". His recommendation was to buy a new washer - it would cost about $700 to fix. This washer was never abused and only 3 people in the family so there was not that much laundry. I purchased a Whirlpool product and found out thru the repairman that this was not made by Whirlpool but by another company and after 1 year, Whirlpool canceled their contract with them. Lucky me. No where in the warranty or service manual did it state the this washer was made by someone other than Whirlpool. Also, the Whirlpool representative told me "I should have bought the extended warranty". Thanks for that bit of advice. My money literally went down the drain. If I could give it "NO STARS" I would.

ENERGY STAR qualified to meet the Department of Energy standards for energy efficiency.
Direct Inject Wash System
Prior to the start of wash cycles, a highly concentrated dose of detergent is injected into fabrics.
Works to penetrate stains and pre-treat soil.
Only when the entire load has been treated with the concentrated cleaning lather does the wash cycle begin.
6th Sense Technology
As soon as the wash cycle is started, washers use various sensors to determine the size of the load and precisely how much water is needed to clean it.
Heat sensors then monitor the temperature, and make sure water is warmed gradually to make cleaning enzymes optimally effective.
Suds sensors also work to prevent over sudsing in the low water wash system.
Care Control Temperature Management
Adjusts the cold and hot water inlets to reach temperatures that are warm enough to dissolve detergents.
But kept from overheating to help reduce shrinking and/or color bleeding.
Quiet Wash Plus Noise Reduction System
Keep operational sounds inside the washer and out of living areas with sound-absorbing materials around the wash basket of the drum.
Stainless Steel Wash Drum
The interior of the washer features a stainless steel basket that resists odors, rusting, or chipping.
It's smooth enough to gently handle fabrics and durable enough to stay looking new.
9 Automatic Cycles
Whitest Whites Cycle
Heated wash water, coupled with the accuracy of the Smart Bleach dispensing system.
Helps ensure loads of whites receive optimal cleaning performance.
4 Water Temperatures
Estimated Time Remaining with Cycle Status Lights
The Add-a-Garment light on the washer's control panel illuminates for the first 8 minutes of the wash cycle.

Samsung : WF448AAP 4.5 cu. ft. Steam Front Load Washer - Stainless Platinum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We purchased the matching dryer to go with this washer and they are fantastic! They are quiet, fast, and energy efficient. We purchased the drawer bases which give you more storage and raise the machines up waist level so you don't have to bend down when loading and unloading.
The only issue we had was with the brass "Y" included with the steam dryer for the cold water faucet. It leaked, but Samsung sent a replacement the next day!
We gave away an 8 year old set of Maytags that worked, but were both noisy...good ridence! These are so quiet and do a better job cleaning and drying our clothes than any set we have owned before. We have had GE, Kenmore, and Maytag. All good products, but these Samsung products are so far superior, it isn't even funny!
And don't let the "NASA" designed controls fool you, they are very easy to use with preprogrammed settings (e.g. whites, towels, perm press, etc.). And the steam in both the washer and dryer allow you to remove wrinkles and sanitize your clothes. This washer also has the ability to remove 99% of bacteria in cold water using silver ions.
Don't let our 5 star rating and the other person's 1 star rating make up your mind. We researched Consumer Reports and other web sites and read lots of consumer opinions before making our decision. Plus you get an energy credit on your taxes for purchasing these Samsung products!
One recommendation, purchase the extended warranty as these are high tech with digital controls. Ours are protected for 5 years along with a "lemon" warranty. If the other consumer who gave 1 star had purchased this, they could have already replaced the defective unit or got their money back. Although we are suspicious seeing that Samsung give a 1 year warranty and they claim they can't get Samsung to do anything about their washer...so do your research before writing off this product. We highly recommend this washer although it was the most expensive one we researched...worth every dollar!

HAIER 1.8CF Combo Washer-Dryer White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This washer/dryer has changed my life. OK, that might be a little overly dramatic, but now i just walk into the bathroom, throw my clothes in and have them come out super clean and (usually, mostly) dry, instead of lugging loads up and down several flights of stairs to find that someone else was already using the sketchy machines that stained and burned my clothes and ate my quarters.
The front loading washer gets clothes much cleaner than standard top loading agitator machines, like other HE machines, the wash cycles takes longer than standard top loaders.
The condensation dryer works surprisingly well, the '2 hour autodry' usually finishes in less than 2 hours and if the load is as small as they reccommend everything is dry. however, i tend to fill the machine with what it can hold to wash (for two adults and a 10 month old) and even then almost everything is dry, i just usually throw towels or jeans or anything else that's still wet back in for another cycle (15-30 mins usually) and they are dry too. To cut down on wrinkles I only use the 60 minute cycle and take the clothes out hot and steamy and line dry them for another 30min - hour or so. But the machine also has a touch up cycle so if something comes out really wrinkled you can just throw it back in for a few minutes by itself.
For me, being able to do small loads is a luxury i didn't have when i had to pay for every load in coin-op machines, and with a small child it is a necessity if you have any hope of removing stains before they set in. I have had to change my laundry habits, i do a load or two almost every day, or every other day, instead of waiting for everything i own to pile up for 3-4 weeks! and it's easy to do, because it's just right there in the bathroom and i don't need any quarters!
We ended up just unscrewing the tub spout and with a couple of connectors they helped us find at the hardware store we were able to screw the y connector directly onto the pipe coming out of the wall. I just turn on the hot or cold water before i start the machine. Since i wash so frequently we just leave the hoses connected, we really only use the shower anyways and have a handheld showerhead. We also drain into the bathtub with an old pantyhose tied around the outlet hose to catch all the lint, etc. so it doesn't clog the drain.
I can't say enough good things about this machine! I've only had it about 4 months though, hopefully it will hold up well.

1.7 Cubic Foot Front Loading Electric Washer / Dryer Combo with Fabric Softener and Bleach DispensersThere are many advantages of the HWD1500. One is the unit does not require external venting for the dryer. Hot vapors during the dry cycle are condensed into water and run into a drain, rather than released as damp, hot air through a vent. The Detergent, Fabric Softener and Bleach Dispensers automatically release into the load at the right time. No more guesswork!Haier s washer and dryer combo models make it possible for you to do it all in one step! Put in a dirty load, and with the touch of a button, it ll come out fresh, dry, and smelling sweet. It s a great time-saver for busy families that need to do laundry frequently.Features:1.7 cu. ft.

Maytag Bravos Series MVWB850WL 28 5 cu. Ft. Top-Loader Washer - Lunar Silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After 5 years of 'hating' my Whirlpool Duet frontloaders, I got rid of them and after MUCH research (probably 20 hours) decided on this set. I found negative comments on every set I researched. Negative comments whether you're researching front or top loaders. My towels are RUINED from the mold smell of my frontloader. NEVER again will I own one of them. I had to go with the machines that had the least of downside. Downside of this one? It SPINS so dry it wrinkles. So.....just give a good hard shake BEFORE putting in the dryer, and the wrinkles come out. The dryer is finished drying WAY before a 'normal' load is done washing. With my 'Duets'....I had to dry for 80-90 minutes, and Whirlpool could never find a reason for the problem. This set of machines, typically dries in 30 minutes! My typical wash load is for 50min with the selection I'm using. Everyone that came to visit me (thats close enough to me to tell me the truth) HATED using my 'frontloaders'. I ALWAYS had to RE-WASH my husbands food stained shirts, second time around being sure to 'pre-soak' them. NOT with my Maytag Bravos TopLoaders! They're clean the first time around. I do have to make myself remember to 'push' the "OxiClean" button for the Borax I'm using in the separate dispenser. Otherwise its still sitting there dry and unused. I love the huge size too! I'm so happy with them I could become a professional wash-woman!! Haha....

Whirlpool Cabrio WTW5700XW 27" Top-Load Washer with 4.3 cu. ft. Capacity, 11 Wash Cycles, 5 Temperatue Settings, Delay Start, Glass Window and LED Display: White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Last week we purchased this Cabrio 5700 washer along with a 5600 dryer(non glass front,Great Buy!). We really did not need the washing machine as we have a Maytag conventional 2 years old; however our original GE dryer died and we went ahead and bought anyway because of the fantastic Labor day sales and $100 in rebates from the local power company and State. We do a lot of laundry. We have two young boys who get clothes dirty, quickly and my wife an I also have uniforms that need frequent washing. I am always a skeptic and overly research items, peruse product reviews into the wee hours of the morning, basically become a bit obsessive over the whole deal (per wife).
As I write, I am conducting yet another experiment to see what this thing can handle. It is on the Heavy Duty cycle-Heavy soil-cool water- Deep clean option. I have in the machine, 6 pair of 11 oz canvas hiking pants, 1 pair of bluejeans (all sized 36/34) and two thick Field-n-Stream non lined flannel shirts. The load is up to the top of the stainless tub and the clothes are semi loose, spread around the center. This is a heavy load for clothes and I would not normally load it this thick. Initially the tub fills with the soapy solution and then agitates. The agitator is definitely under some stress as the motion is measurably subdued compared to a normal load of mixed fabrics. The tub fills 3 more times as the cycle progresses. The manual states on the Heavy Duty cycle that it will do this because the recommended fabrics for the cycle absorb more water than normal type loads. Because the machine has a glass top, I am able to observe the whole cycle. Through out the course of the cycle, all of the items eventually make it through the solution a few times. I had my doubts but was proved wrong. This load when wet looked like quite a force to recon with however the machine did as advertised and being able to observe this through the glass top is a real plus.
Whites cycle is excellent!. Bulky cycle handled a queen size thick cotton hand made quilt very well. The water level in the tub on the Bulky setting is quite a lot. I did have to open the lid and even out the quilt due to it having an unbalanced load during the spin cycle. The wet quilt was sooo heavy that this was sort of expected. Not a concern for us. Today I washed 4 washable silk shirts on the delicate cycle and these came out great as well. The delicate cycle also fills up with a higher level of water and agitator speeds are slower. We have put towels through the Heavy Duty cycle and the Whites cycle and have had no issues. No twisting into knots or ripping. FWIW Front load washers are not exempt from tying items into knots! A feature I wish this had is what Whirlpool put into the larger capacity models which is when the load is going through the initial soak down, the basket rotates so all of the load gets saturated. Currently the load makes it through anyways via agitation so this wish is not a deal breaker. I DO recommend this product. If it did not meet my expectations it would have been sent back, Period!

LG Washer SteamWasher Front Load, 4.2 Cu Ft - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After our cheap-o washing machine and dryer broke down, we decided to make a Black Friday purchase and get both the dryer and washing machines from Best Buy. My husband and I researched the heck out of what was available on the market. We compared features, cleaning options, and prices. I came across one site that had over 1700 reviews for this machine alone - the average review was a 5 out of 5.
I could not be happier with the products. While it is true the washing cycle takes longer than a top load washer, the end result is amazingly different. The matching dryer seems to work more efficiently than our old one and makes up for the time difference between loads. My toddlers socks came out white and the dirt stains gone. Even some of the old stains were removed. There are a lot of fancy dials and sounds on the machine however once you get accustomed to the settings, it is very easy to use. The pre-wash and steam features are a nice bonus. I especially like the top area to load the soap and fabric softner. The load capability seems quite large to me. Several pairs of jeans, pants and tops can go in at once. While running, the machine is fairly quiet. This is a beneficial feature since our laundry room is located in the center of our home. Is it wrong to fall in love with an appliance? If so, guilty as charged. Now if only they could automate the folding process I would be in heaven!!

LG : WM2301HR 27 Front-Load Washer with 4.2 cu. ft. Capacity Wild Cherry Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Our old washing machine broke a couple of months ago; and, even though we could have fixed it, we decided it was time to go with a new front loader instead. The main reason we wanted front loading machines was because of the space savings when stacked. After a week of research, we settled on either this LG model or the comparable Samsung, based on reading pretty much every review we could find - we settled on the LG because of price.
Aside from the fact that these are extremely heavy compared to our old top loaders, the installation was fairly straight forward. The water hoses are a couple of feet longer than a typical washer hose (even other front loaders), which was great for us since we ended up stacking them a few feet from the water inputs. They are also very easy to setup and use.
At first we were a bit nervous about the height of the machines when stacked, but those fears were completely unfounded. I'm 5'9" and I can access both the washer and dryer with ease. The washer tub is actually tilted upward to make it easier to access when it's sitting on the floor instead of a stand. As a quick reference, if you're worried about the height, the bottom of the dryer opening sits at 54" when stacked, the center of the dryer control knob sits at 76", and the top of the dryer is at 79".
Aside from the obvious space savings, here are the things we've really liked about this washer:
1) It runs very quietly with no noticeable vibration. I was worried about this after reading reviews for other front loaders, but it hasn't been a problem at all - even with both the washer & dryer stacked and running at the same time.
2) It gets our clothes at least as clean as our old washer ever did; but it uses a lot less water to do it. (It's supposed to be easier on the clothes too, but I have no way to verify that.)
3) The controls are intuitive and easy to use.
4) We can fit an amazing amount in each load. Our old washer was a high capacity top loader, but this thing can probably clean almost twice as many clothes in each load. It is especially nice when it comes time to clean bedding that didn't even fit in the old washer.
5) I love the load sense feature. This is one of the things you should read the manual to figure out how to use; but it is definitely worth the effort. Basically, it tells you how much detergent you need to add in order to get the clothes clean for that particular load - I use it to tell me when the load is full by just adding clothes until it says I need the full amount of deterget:). It really does eliminate a lot of guess-work.
As usual, there are some things I wish I could change:
1) You can't use powder detergent with liquid bleach in the same load. You need to have either powder or liquid for both.
2) The controls don't remember settings, which can be a bit irritating since we use the same settings 95% of the time. Luckily they are easy to set, but you do need to reprogram it every time you turn it on.
3) The washer door only opens one way (the hinge is on the left), which is great if that's the way you need it to open. In our case, it opened the wrong way so we had to rearrange the room a bit. Fortunately, the long hoses made it possible to rearrange everything without a lot of extra effort or expense.
Another thing I had read about the front loaders was that the door needs to be left open between loads. I thought this would be a pain, but it really hasn't been a big deal at all. The manual doesn't actually recommend doing that; but says to periodically run a tub clean cycle (I think it says to do it every month) to eliminate any odor. I figure I'll leave the door open as well just to be safe.
Overall we are extremely pleased with these. I guess time will tell if they hold up as well as our old top loader did, but so far I'm pretty confident that they will. I highly recommend these if you're looking for a new washer and dryer.
