OT front loading washers
It's interesting how peoples' experiences differ--I have all Whirlpool
appliances and I have never had a single problem. I bought the Duet washer and dryer a few months ago and I have to say I love them. My whites have never been so white-it's amazing that it only uses 1/3 cup of bleach. And I don't have to go to the laundromat anymore to wash my quilts-it was worth it just for that reason. -- Valerie in FL My quilts: http://community.webshots.com/user/vjkahler "Kate Dicey" wrote in message ...

I usually have at least two dark loads each week!) 'A' rated for water/electricity consumption Hot and cold fill (gas is cheaper than electricity) Half load, light soiling and extra rinse options Boil wash and 'hand wash' programs Prewash option for very dirty things 1400+rpm spin Been looking at LGS: will never house another Whirlpool appliance as long as I get the choice. -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

I looked at Bosch and Whirlpool; they were within $100 of each other. The
Bosch had fewer knobs/buttons, so I figured it had less to break. I've had mine about a year, and I'm very happy with it. -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm un-STUFF email address to reply "Taria" wrote in message news:i5cwg.1123$aW2.168@trnddc03...

We always buy Bosch. I bought my old dishwasher in 1982 and when we
moved and there was nowhere to put it until we had had building work done, I gave it to SisIL who is still using it! Its replacement, needless to say is a Bosch -- Sally at the Seaside ~~~~~~~~~~ (uk) http://community.webshots.com/user/sallyswin On Sat, 22 Jul 2006 13:22:36 GMT, "frood" wrote: I looked at Bosch and Whirlpool; they were within $100 of each other.

"Taria" wrote in message news:XGgwg.132$6G3.61@trnddc05... Thanks Kate. It appears there have been some shake ups in major appliance companies lately so gotta check who really makes what machine. Taria, when you decide which one you think is the best, please be sure to post again and let us know. DH and I are looking at buying a new front load w/d also. My old Maytag washer is beginning to leak again and I don't think she's fixable this time. So I told DH that I want a new front load set. I know Whirlpool bought out Maytag so I have no idea how the service will be with them now. We haven't done any research on the different brands yet so let me know what you decide. What brands do those of you who have the front load have? Hugs, Mika |

Sounds like the transmission is going. Look for oil leakage coming from
under the machine. That is your signal to start shopping! Linda in Tx |

All our white goods are Bosch, also.

That's what the repairman told me, and the parts are no longer available.

The repairman suggested the Fisher-Paykel. I don't know if that's good or
bad ;-). From what I've read it sounds like a good machine but I'm not at all familiar with the brand. -- Bonnie NJ |
