Front Loading Washing Machines...Looking for feedback.

what are some good brands for side washer or top loader washer? I heard samsung and LG are not good.

I've heard the same, but oddly enough I've seen more positive reviews for these two brands.

Kenmore or GE are the best IMO. My family has always had GE machines and they've been great.

check sears b&m, since most sears b&m are going out of business for good, maybe you can find some deal for your washer and dryer there.

How about fridge?

Samsung and LG are known for their cell phones, and tv, but not so good for appliances.

after doing research and looking at consumer reports, i went with the kenmore 4072(2). it was not the top rated, but one of the top 10 and not as costly as the rest. its been great so far.

I have had my samsungs for over 4 years now...no problems yet (probably because I bought a 5 year warranty)...if I didn't get one, they probably would have crapped out by now...knocks on wood...

Also, I live by myself and only do 4 or 5 loads of laundry every other week so they don't get much wear and tear...

I have a Maytag front loader that's about 5 years old now, never had an issue.

Did you guys get the pedestal?

If you have the room and $$, they are nice....I built shelves over my previous toploaders so I didn't have enough clearance to use the pedastals...

Just leave the door open when not using it (like the manual says) and you will be fine...

This. And purchase the pedestal if you can afford it/have room. A real back saver.

Had one of those Maytag Neptune top line front end loaders for 11 yrs. Finally conked out last summer but yeah, it had that issue with mold in the door which made it looked nasty. Somehow there's always a wet sock that end up stuck in the edge between the door and the drum after each load. Replaced with a HE top loader now (more capacity with large family). I like the idea of being able to stop and throw some additional stuff in middle of cycle if needed.

From my experience and from reviews, Samsung and LG are highly rated.

Currently have LG frontloading washer/dryer, stacked in a closet in my MBR. I put a rubber padding on the floor, under them and can sleep thru the night with them running.
