funny you ask, after much research i decided on an electrolux washer. it's a solid piece of machinery that does cost more, but when i compared it to the expense of repairs & cost of having to use the laundromats when they break down, i decided to chance it. this thing is amazing! it's a front loader, washes in half the time, with many options. is quiet and the heavily soiled clothes come out very clean with 1 cycle. if you can manage to look @ one, please do. Lowe's do not have any on site, but was told by the installer, BestBuy has them. Good Luck on whatever you decide!

Ordered my washer from Lowe's. On sale plus my discount for using Lowe's card. Delivery as soon as I want.
