Re: Front load washers and dryers

[Guest guest]

Hi..

Just bought an LG front loader washer in Bahama Blue!!! LOVE IT LOVE IT

LOVE IT LOVE IT. It's helped me in many ways. Easy to open...the clothes come

out almost dry so they are lighter, my electric bill is cheaper, and I swear

if my dryer could talk, it would say a big THANK YOU, because it is working

on a shorter cycle. I got it from Home Depot. I'm thrilled. You do need to

use laundry detergent with the little HE for high efficiency on it, you use

less, so it all comes out in the wash...LOL....but it's the best! They are a

bit more pricey, but worth every penny. LG got great reviews and a friend

has one that I've used so I was familiar, but look it up on the Home Depot

website. Again...it's made a big difference to me hand wise, arm wise, money

wise. Go Kami Go!!!!

I didn't get the pedestal...i have it on a pallet in the basement so it all

works out. The price of the pedestals is insane. I wanted red but that

price is crazy too, and on the LG is mostly with the steam function. You don't

need it as there is a Sanitary selection.

You're right about the rip off. That's why we didn't buy them. I was

trying to figure out something cheaper to mount them on to raise them

a bit. I'm sure I can figure something out.

This is the first time though in our 38 1/2 year marriage that our

washer and dryer match. Woohoo!

Kami,

I don't have one, but if I could afford it, I would. Really, I am

thankful for the machines the good Lord has supplied.

I still want one. Red.

i love the front load washer. it uses a lot less water and saves wear and tear

on clothes. i bought a speed queen and if i had to do it over again i would not

have. it weighs about 300 pounds and was very pricey. but ive had it for two

years and have no problems except for a bobby pin getting caught in the trap. i

was able to take care of it myself. i would never go back to the top loader.

Looking for new and was thinking about going for the front loading washer this

time...... Anyone have any opinions?

*~ Kami ~*

[Guest guest]

Kami,

In the last 6 months, both our washer and dryer went bad. I think it

was a conspiracy, but that might be the meds. We purchased the

front loading Whirlpool Duet matching pair. It does require more

bending which isn't good for me. We are considering though getting

the pedestals but of course that's more money and you have to have

room. The washer does use less water being high efficiency. By the

way, if you look at Maytag, they are now made by Whirlpool as well.

And, yes, I do my own laundry. My wife does hers and my live in

disabled son does his. We're an equal opportunity laundry family.

Kami,

I love my front load washer. They use less water and are very gentle on clothes

because there is no agitator in the middle. If you do go for one though I would

recommend getting one that has a pedestal. Ours are both on the floor and I

find the bending down for both the washer and dryer really bothers me.

Happy shopping,

You're right about the price. The washer dryer pair cost more than my

first new car. A 1970 Austin America. Hope they last longer. I

totaled the Austin in December of the same year. Rear-ended by a

drunk driver going 40. I was stopped in bumper to bumper traffic.

One of the contributors to my lower back problems.

We're also an equal opportunity laundry family. When each kid got a

certain age, I turned over their laundry to them. Then I did the same

thing with my husband. He didn't take it well, LOL.

I've see lots of really expensive appliances advertised lately. I

wonder who can afford them, since they seem really outrageously priced.

Heidi,

You and I already discussed how jealous I am over that washer. I am

sitting here turning green. Thanks.

Really I'm happy for you.

Hi Darcy,

Because they use less water, wash faster, and HE detergent leaves less

residue, and it goes a long way as you use less. Most brands are making one

for

HE washers now.

Why do you have to use special laundry detergent for it? My problem is most

every laundry detergent makes me itch, so I have to use Cheerfree.

Im not sure that new detergent that says you need to use less works at least

not for me, but then

again i have a houseful of kids and was every day. They are saying that its

not so true.

After reading this, I did a google search and to my shock, they actually

have cheer free in HE version. Now, we just need to have our current washer

break which won't be for a long time as it's still fairly new.

[Guest guest]

You do not NEED to use the HE detergent. I use regular all the time and

just cut back on the amount a little. My daughter does not cut the

amount back when she does her laundry and it's just fine. I believe the

HE detergent is just " watered down " and you do not want to use a ton of

regular because they use so little water you do not want the soap

staying in the clothes. I hate my front loader with a passion. We've

had it for 3 years now and I wish I had bought a regular one. It just

kills my knees and back to do laundry now and I hate it. I use a

natural laundry deterent called Ecos that works extreamly well and you

use only about 2 tablespoons of detergent and it also has natural

fabric softeners in it. I save so much money using that stuff. Not to

mention I don't get sick from perfumes.

Hi Kami - some of my relatives have these and love them. I would

recommend buying the pedestals that go with them as they are just too

low to the floor without. When its time for me to buy new, I will be

getting the Whirlpool front loaders. I've always had good luck with

their products and their tubs (last I checked) were the biggest out of

them all. Hope this helps.........Doreen
