We've got
these Frigidaires. Bought last summer for about $1800. One word: outstanding. Not only have we not had any problems at all, but they work really well too. Win-win.
As mentioned earlier, the washer spins so fast there's not much to dry. We noticed utility costs dropped immediately. They replaced a pair of lemon Kenmores. We know of others that have had great Kenmore laundry appliances. That
really wasn't our experience. 'Nuff said.
Family of four and we go through about three cups of HE powder detergent a month, one tablespoon full per load.
It might cost a bit more to buy front-loaders than top loaders, but it's worth every penny. You'll make it up, and then some, over the long run.
