Get rid of the WCI. They simply will not clean the clothes. Period. Tell her to keep the Shredmore, run on high water level only. Use the perm press cycle with relatively low cycle times. |

Go with the Kenmore. Most loads will wash clean with normal soil position on the timer. 10 minuets is more than enough. Please keep in mind, the Permanent Press cycle uses more water for the cool down and would be consider a waste to do every load on that cycle. More water/slow final spin, defeats any energy savings. |

Depends on how much you want to spend.My Mom bought a G.E. Harmony and I LOVE IT.There is no Transmission just a Pancake motor and no agitator there is a wash plate and a steel basket.Its very simple really I dropped a hammer and it hit the cold water pipe and some rust screwed the Valves up.The Repair man came and its like a lego.He fixed it and gave me the old to fix.There huge, quite and Tree hugger or Water hog thats the plus YOU HAVE A CHOICE.Plus a see thru lid and 10 year warranty total..The bad part is the 1200 Price tag but after that NIGHTMARE of a Frontloader it was worth it for her.

I agree with all the others on here - the Kenmore DD is a good option when given that or the WCI. I have a 1993 DD that I enjoy. I would very much prefer to use my belt drives because of their noises, their build quality, as well as the old time memories, but the DD machines aren't as bad as some people would have us believe. Just like the BDs before them, they've lasted in production relatively unchanged for many many years, giving testament to the design's viability. As for overloading, I agree on that too - I don't know why some people insist on packing a washer until stuff doesn't move properly, us here especially. After all, if we load them a little less, we wind up being able to run more loads! This is much better for the machine and for the clothes in the long run. |
