Front loading washers

and what would you have done if they said "yes, we think it's trashy". :D

Me, I would never ask that question, as I'd never do anything different anyway on this issue.

Norse, glad to know that you like the retractable line. I would like that option because I only do laundry once a week, and the rest of the time I like my garden (yard) to be line-free. Does the retractable line sag? Do you have to hook it up high to accommodate sagging?

I don't think I'd ask either!

I asked after we had become friends with them, had them over for dinner.... I suppose we would have put up more trees/bushes between our yards if it did bother them.

After a lot of use, the lines do eventually start to sag, so periodically we need to tighten them. After fixing many, many splayed areas, DP invested in some new lines last year and redid much of it. Kind of hard to explain the removable in-ground pole that they attach to, but if the lines are really tight, you can put the pole on the ground, pull the lines out (they all attach into a contraption that has a hook that hooks into the pole), attach to the pole hook and then lift the pole up and put in the ground. We live in a very wooded, natural looking area so I am glad that we do not have to have the lines up all the time.

We just recently started looking at front loaders and I think we are going with the Whirlpool Duet Ultra. It pays to price shop as most of the sellers will negotiate their prices as they are very motivated to make the sale right now. We are getting the 4.0 Ultra for the same price as the lower model Sport. I thought the Sport would be fine, but DH wants all the bells and whistles and since they are willing to give it to us for the lower model price, what the heck!

I am hoping it will help with the workout clothes funk!
