Pros: Everything! It actually makes me excited about doing laundry. Cleans better, uses less water.
Cons: More expensive than top loaders and long cycles.
The Bottom Line: Great washer for anyone who wants energy and water efficiency. Must read manual, however, about drying door molding, leaving door open and cleaning lint trap.
Review: I bought this after reviewing opinions on the internet and checking consumer reports. I have been very happy with it. The clothes are cleaner than I have ever seen. They seem to rinse multiple times during the cycle. I was always concerned with my old... Read Full Review by momat141, Jun 9, 2008

Excellent front loading washer
Author's Rating:
Pros: Cleans great, large number of washing options, is a high-efficiency model, good value.
Cons: It does sit a little low and accessing the front-load hatch does require some bending.
The Bottom Line: If you are in the market for a front-loading HE washer, then check this model out. It is much cheaper than some of the $1100 models and is comparably equipped.
