My roommates niece is moving in with us in June, and I think washing for four people might be to much for the old Maytag.

LG WAVE FORCE TL WASHERS I don't see any difference in the way these work from the miserable GE harmonies that have been around for years.
The first rule about online opinions is to know whose opinions you are reading, BlogShag clearly works for LG. I have had several GE Harmonies and have been very unimpressed with them [ very cheaply built, way to much plastic in the wrong places ]. The best bet on a hi efficiency TL washer are the newer 27" WP built machines, avoid the larger DD models with the Fisher Paycal motors.
I not only use these machines but have had them disassembled down to the last part. If you are looking for the best built longest lasting most efficient washer on the market the SQ FLer is by far the best, it is the only commercial built washer built that comes in a home model available in the US. | ||

Are there other ways to conserve water....like a wringer or twintub.....or a way to reuse some of the wash water?..........
I am just looking at savings versus a new machine that would cost close to 1000.00 give or take, and how long will it take for you to reap the rewards and get your money back before seeing any savings after the cost, provided the new one actually will last that long..... Its hitting warm weather, and although I don't hang clothes outside, I will hang out the dogs blankets, but I also collect the wash water from the FL's into a TL machine to wash them in....... just trying to save where I can..... | ||

Aaron's has Frigidaire (NO Way!) and Samsung for front loaders, I would rather have Whirlpool over Frigidaire.

Water-Saver Someone should come up with a water saver FL machine that stores the wash water in the pedestal. Then pumps it back up for the next wash and heats it to the target temp. Then they wouldn't have to worry so much about the level of water used per fill.
Could be an interesting Franken-Duet project for someone...

About the agitator model Cabrios...
WP discontinued the agitator Cabrio just about a year ago. I was helping a friend of mine purchase a new top load washer and he and his family liked that model. They got one of the last ones that HH Gregg had in new stock (though they may have had one more delivery). This was May/June of last year. They used it to replace an 18 year-old Kenmore DD.
This was just about the time that the new line of WP VMW (the new belt-drive agitator machines and the smaller Cabrios) was being introduced. I suspect that the only agitator Cabrios left would be at some store's inventory, tucked away. You'd have to check store to store. Gordon | ||

I don't know if their still available, but RAC had Whirlpool Duets and SportDuets when I stopped in about 3 months ago.......
NorfolkSouthern rented a few from them just to test drive them before deciding to buy one, not a bad idea..... these are days where I missed the machines being hooked up in the store to see a demonstration, they claim is a safety issue with water splashing on the floor, I say it wil show how bad thse machines perform, that no one would buy one, this way your stuck with it by the time you get it home and find out how awful it washes.....doesn't stop me, I will send it back for a refund..... Whirlpool did a great sample of a test drive with their Calypso's......try it for one year, if you didn't like it, they would buy it back!.........this needs to be done by manufacturers for all machines....... | ||
