Be very careful with the Affinities. I am very disappointed in my two-year old washer. I believe they've made some improvements with cycle options on the later ones, but you have to be sure you're buying one of those, not getting a dirt cheap deal on the older type like mine.
I really, really liked my Whirlpool Duet HT. I would recommend looking at one of those, or one of its re-badged clones such as Maytag. It's my understanding that Kenmore FL's are now made by LG or Samsung, not Whirlpool, but have read that Sears is re-thinking that decision due to parts and service headaches associated with Korean brands. |

I too have had good luck with GE. In the price range you are looking at, I would buy GE. I have always gotten good serive from GE, and they are all over NY, NJ and Conn. Good Luck, Mike |

I personally would stick with the time honored basic machine, actually one of the first redesigns in Front Loaders, built by Frigidaire, or Electrolux by now, basic machine, decent capacity, a high spin speed and plenty of options, and they corrected the dispenser issues with solenoid activations....
AND you can adjust the water level if needed with a simple phillips screwdriver...... heres a link to sears.....but with the holidays coming up, and you hit the sale just right, you can get both the washer and dryer for under $700.00.........plus rebates........with tax and rebates, my sister got hers last Black Friday for close to $600.00 for the set....but no extended warranty CLICK HERE TO GO TO yogitunes's LINK |

well to be honest with you I have not a clue on what he washer to buy because my experence is that they do well in the begeaning but it seems like that after a year they are A piece of junk i have had more than my share of these units because of Sears protection agreemnets I first had the Kenmore/Frigidare and i have to say that it did wash and rinse very well but the quality was just not there so sears repalced them a Kenmore/Whirlpool set it was sturdier but after about a year they atarted to have issues with the computers and the clothes were just not clean and they smelled awful and I did everything that I was suppose to do to clean the washer bleach, cascade,lestoil,I left the door open so it would air out. They had a bad leaking issue so I had to say good by to them.I then got the Oasis Kenmore and the clothes just did not come clean so they were repalced by the wonderful Samsung beautuful set but the washer is after about a year but also during that year bleach was not being dispensed right and is runing my clothes I have had towels that have holes in them and I did not know what the deal was until now but the service with Samsung is horrable (I would take Sears any day)They send servicers out that do not know what to do and do not return calls so I am still waiting for resolution but have not received it yet. I want a Speed queen and am going to get one soon. So all I can say is good luck. Carl
