Have you seen the Dyson? Maaaaasive porthole! And NO rubber seal...
Bloody ugly beast, but holds a big load too.

I'm saving up. They are about £900. Geep!



Bloody ugly beast describes it well and I totally understand your
"Geep" about the price. Imagine the cost for me though----roughly
$1600 US plus the cost of shipping the beast over here, and I'm pretty
sure they are not going to send a repair man if I need one during the
warranty period. But I still drooled while I looked at it.

Dyson sell their vacuum cleaners over there, so you might find a more
local supplier.

I had only one front loader in my life.....always top loaders after THAT
experience..........Mine has the center agitator that rotates........gets
the clothes nice and clean in a short cycle, and I have T-shirts that have
to be 6 years old and still look fine..........everything goes in the dryer
too......


I still have a 20 YO shirt that has only ever been washed in a front
loader, and I washed a shirt my dad had made when we lived in Malta in
the 60's the other day... DH has worn it for the last 20 years, and
I've only ever washed it in a front loader too... My shirt is a rather
nice poly crepe de chine, DH/Dad's is an as tough as old boots khaki RAF
uniform shirt made in Hong Kong. God alone knows what it's made of, as
it has never had a label in it!
