Front loading washers

[DrBadger]

I have a new set of front loading washer and dryer.... I LOVE them.

I have the Samsung WF338 series. I got the samsung specifically because my laundry room is on the top floor of my house by the master bedroom, and the samsung washers are supposed to have among the best anti-vibration technology (from everything that I had read). I will say, it is really good... I can tell when it just starts its spin cycle, but then it quiets right down and doesn't shake the whole house. I guess the only down side to them is that the washer does have a really long cycle (about an hour for a load), but given the water savings of the front loader and how much more gentle they are on clothing.

I have also heard good things about the LG and the Electrolux.

Good luck with the search!

Must be in our names, I just bought WF337 in red.

I had such a hard time with replacing mine. The ones I had in the closet were going on 20 years and in that time the machines have gotten larger (in depth). The first pair I got, an LG set, stuck out about an inch. So I decided in the end to splurge and go bling and display the machines and upgraded to the Samsung. Not sure about that AG (silver) technology, but they were on a great sale. I just bought them on Thursday and they're backordered for a month, so no laundry for 6 weeks! (since I replaced them inititally).

I've had a front loader washer for about 12 years. I can wash tons of clothes in one load and I throw everything in together... no patience for a 70 minute gentle cycle, though I am sure it works perfectly.
In fact, most of the time I use the "quick" wash cycle of 30 minutes and everything comes out clean. I do put my Smart Wool stuff and undies in a washer bag, but that's it.
I wish I had the dryer, too.
