Front loading washers

[Norse]

We have Kenmore front-loading washer and dryer. Love them for the same reasons the others have mentioned but I think the lack of beating up on the laundry is the best. Things do not need to be replaced as often. All those work clothes that say "hand-wash" turn out just fine in the delicate cycle of the front loader - something I never would do when we had the top. As others have mentioned, we also leave the door of the washer open when not in use.

Wahhh, I so want a front-load washer!! But our laundry room is too small to fit one without the door banging into the water heater.

Maybe someday we might move the water heater into the garage, or get one of those newfangled tankless water heaters. Either way it'll involve lots of plumbing work, so odds are slim.

So I'll just live vicariously through you all.

Altho, Trek's stacking setup has got me pondering ...
