Whirlpool, Duet. I have had the washer and dryer set for almost a year. They clean themselves (you have to set them on a clean cycle), and have all sorts of nifty features!

Since the cost of water is so high, we have only purchased the water-savers. They do a good job of cleaning our laundry. CARE OF FRONT LOADERS: Read & follow instructions. With the Maytag Neptune, that was very important. We now have a Fridgidaire which is much simpler (and cheaper). We never overload our washing machines and periodically we run a load of whites (towels, etc) with bleach and since the doors seal tightly when closed, we leave the door ajar after use and we have never had any problem with mold in our machines. You can interrupt a wash but must wait until the door unlock button clicks before pulling the door open. When you finish doing whatever adjustment you need, then you push the control to resume your wash. (The little water that comes out & drips on the front of the machine & floor when you retrieve your garment during an interrupted cycle, you can easily solve by wiping it away after you have closed your door.) AFTER SAD EXPERIENCE: It isn't worth the expense of damaging your own machines by stuffing and overloading it. With scatter rugs and other large or bulky items (true even when we had top loaders) we always take to the laundromat and put it in their large front loaders. Also we feel the larger machines is more appropriate for those things. Recommend the water savers. Whatever you decide, it's sure nice to have your own laundry equipment.

We have an LG front loading washer and are very pleased with it. Clothes come out sparkling clean, and almost dry after being spun so rapidly. Have not had a problem, whatsoever with moldy or musty smell, that is prevalent in other front loaders. There are lots of bells and whistles, and different settings to make it very flexible in its usage. I would buy another one in a heartbeat!

Whirlpool. Not long ago I knew a Maytag customer service representative. She raved about her parents Whirlpool front loader machine. She explained how front loaders have been in use in Europe for a long time.
She seemed to know a lot about washers. I gotta go with Whirlpool.

I usually stick to Kenmore or Whirlpool from Sears They also have scratch and dent places if $ are an issue- If you want elaborate, check out the Oasis. It's really nice and good size.
Good luck.
