well, to who ever you are, or where ever you are.....
you better buy a good warranty with anything new today....and hope service even comes out at all.....even new machines are showing parts NLA.....its a flip of a coin to how long one will last.... standard capacity should service you well for two people.....buying a FLer is a good choice for water and energy savings.....but I would still keep the filterflo in the background as with most people realizing how some FLers barely clean with droplets of water.....you might change your mind.... I do get puzzled with some people needing to buy 4, 5 up to 6 cu ft washer.....what the heck are you washing?.....I see no need for something that big.....3.0cu ft is plenty big enough, even for a king comforter...besides, how many times a week are you washing it?.....for the occasional trip to the laundromat, can't see the extra expense for a bigger machine...but that's your choice.... depending on the condition and features, you could get anywhere from 50.00 to 100.00 for your filterflo......its just a matter of what someone is willing to pay... if your going to spend the money for a new FL set......and looking for longevity....your best bet today is a Speed Queen....a but pricey, but most likely will be the last set you will have to buy..... | ||

Keep the FF as a backup washer even if you get the FL-in case the FL goes bum-you still have a washer to use. | ||

New vs. old.
I like the Filter Flo. They are superior at removing lint and pet hair. The cycle time on a Filter Flo is also relatively short. Filter Flos, however, use more water than any other washer I know of per pound of laundry washed.
If you want a new front loading washer, take a hard look at Speed Queen. They lack the bells and whistles of many competitors, but their performance is top notch and their build quality is vastly superior as well. Speed Queens aren't cheap, however, so you may want to use the Filter Flo until you can more easily afford a Speed Queen. If you want a high-performance, washing machine that may need a repair every once in a while, keep the Filter Flo. If you are uncomfortable using an older appliance and want a new one, plan to buy a Speed Queen front loader and sell the Filter Flo. Either choice will wash your laundry and be better and more durable than anything you could buy at Lowes. You can always have 2 washers at the same time, as many of us do, but it's not something everyone wants to do. The Filter Flo is a top-notch machine and it's too good to scrap. If you get a new one, do not have the Filter Flo hauled away, as those are nearly always scrapped. Sell it, offer it here, or at the very least, donate it. Enjoy your Filter Flo, Dave | ||
