I kinda like that new LG toploader with the front controls. I looked at the Kenmore Elite version and I must say I was impressed. I also like the new GE toploader with the upswept panel and glass lid. I know one here had that and returned it for a squeek and got a chinese made front loader that he is now having issues with.

I simply wouldn't. I'd look for a good vintage machine. | ||

Same here..... If I were to buy new right now, I wouldn't look at nothing but a Speed Queen. Otherwise, I would shop for something vintage with staying power, like a Center Dial Maytag or an Older Belt-Drive Whirlpool or Kenmore. --Charles-- | ||

I'd probably go for the TOL Maytag or Whirlpool washer - quite simply because it allows you to activate the heater on every wash cycle. These seem to be louder than the LGsung models, though and the fill cycle seem pathetically slow compared to the very similar F&P models.
Runner-up would be F&P because of videos I have seen on DeanJB74's YouTube channel: a large load of towels really got agitated by that wash plate - even when using the HE setting. I do like the WaveForce action on the LG models and the TurboWash but it seems that - maybe just newer versions - either don't waveforce at all because the water level is too high/low or it's just a little dribble or it lasts just five seconds. | ||

I'm going to go with the Maytag Bravos too. Malcolm, you appear to have a very logical approach to your home environment choices. If I were left to my own devices (probably should be thankful I'm not), the new GE HE top load would be my first choice. | ||

No way would I buy a new machine at this point except the SQ.For me the BEST washers lurk at the swap shops--NOT at the new machine dealers.Most of the new machines are simply trash truck and crusher-shredder food. | ||

I own a 4-year-old Maytag Bravos with heater, quite happy with it. Would buy it again. My daughter just bought the current Bravos with heater, she likes it. The best feature is the heater is selectable for all cycles. Bonus: it gets everything really clean. | ||
