Hello to all aw members and to all frontload experts of the site how can i convince my brother and my sister in law that they would be better off buying a frontload washer dryer set and since my sister in law is smaller she could have the pedistal to put the washer = to her hight the problem with my sister in law is she wents one of those wash plate top load washer and she thinks i will do the research for them its not going to be the case i think my brother is ready to go with a front load washer dryer set but my sister in law thinks its better to have 1 ofg those wash plate models and i also think that my sister in law should take the time to 1 shopt and do her own research and read washers reviews, personaly i think if my sister in law is so key in washing everything in cold water then she would be better off with a wringer washer since she do not know that most washers had a bit of warm water even if the washer is set to cold water wash not tap cold like older model.
thank you to all memberd of aw |

That is what we call a run-on sentence! Wow! haha ;-)
Some people just don't like FL'ers. Is room a concern for them? If it is, perhaps you could convince them to buy FL to save room since most can be stacked. The newest top load HE machines aren't bad actually. The new GE one (the one that matches the new agitator models) looks to be a great machine...and you can add as much water as you want. Otherwise the upper level WP ones are good too. I wouldn't sweat it too much...but mentioning the space savings might convince her to go with the FL'er. |

You should be nice and do the research for them and present the pro's and cons for each type and let them make their own decision. That way, if they end up not being happy, you won't be blamed.
I have a front loader and love it. Those wash plate top loaders actually make me angry watching them try to turn clothes over, just sitting there jiggling things and wobbling around.
Mine are 8 years old and never a problem and never a smell or mold issue. I do leave the door open between washes and my last load on wash days are bleachy whites and hot wash...i think this really helps. |

Thank you why invest they have a good 20 year old still working direct drive 1993 kenmore washer they could have a tech check the washer restore it and they would be good for another 20 year the problem with my sister in law is that she is a bit stubborn the first thing she see she wents and she do not know that its impossibale to have a washer dryer set in a 1000$ budget unless looking at a model from last year or the year before production, in my opinion its no use suggesting or researching for them a fancy machine they wash everything in cold water so in my opinion they should stick to the washer they have. I have included a pic of there actual set washer is on the left

Tell her that a front loader is very forgiving if you accidentally place your favorite sweater in a load of towels and it did not pilled or damage the fabric because of poor sorting! It happened to me and dye transfer is almost non existence because of the concentrated detergent at work! Plus with the Electrolux, the Eco water temperature beats cold water washing by adding warm water to the wash so the powder detergents breaks down completely! Show her these pictures: The left hand towel was washed in my in Kenmore Electronic 90 Series washer (Top Loader). And the right was wash in my Electrolux (Front Loader). Keep in mind that I was using any brand liquid body soap that discolored these white hand towels and I thought my top loader really cleaned and when it comes to whites, the front loader just does an better job on them!

since they are selling there direct drive top load i can just imagine the bleaching the next user of that washer will need to do to remove all the mildew that must of build up in the outertub, sigh and whirlpof i so agree with you and thank you i think my sister in law should read consumers reports and chack the top 10 washer website. I do not mean to rant but if my sister in law is so keen on washing in cold water then no point in her and my brother buying a fancy washer they should stick with there direct drive machine. In my opinion that is

Believe me. I have read numerous complaints where people have done exactly how the manual said, only to have their clothes come out dirtier than when they went in. |

i do and i just had a tough my sister in law do not take proper care of her current washer as soon as the load is done she close the lid witch do not leave the water to evaporate if my mom and me where the owner of that direct drive kenmore washer i would leave the lid open always and i would have to run the washer hot water bleach no clothes to make sure that all germs are dead why can't my sister in law see that some time its good to use warm water or hot depending on what needs to be wash so whats the point of buying a fancy machine if she do not even use warm water wash or hot water wash i wonder

I wash clothes according to color type. If I wash darks, they go on cold. If I wash lights, I use warm. If I wash whites, I use hot with bleach. |

This is why I do laundry properly. I make sure everything is separated by color and fabric down to the smallest detail. |
