Somewhat OT: Washing Machines

TinaR · 2009-01-27T13:59:34+00:00

This is only sort of OT, since washers are sort of related to fabric.I bought a new Maytag when we moved into this house almost 5 yearsago, and it is on the fritz AGAIN. I am considering replacing insteadof repairing (since I am already up to 1/2 of the original cost inrepairs) and would like to know from you fabric experts what brand youhave, and what type (top loader, front loader, HE) if you havepurchased one in the last couple of years.The repairman told me that my Maytag was just made at a bad time forthe company, and that he recommends Whirlpool. I am thinking about anew Whirlpool top-loader, since I have read that the front-loader HEmachines can really mangle your clothes.So, any opinions out there? (And some sympathy, since a new washerwill eat up the money I was hoping to buy an embroidery machine with?)
