We're in the market for a new high energy eff washer. Ours is going kaput, and it's not worth it to repair. Any pros and cons on the top vs. front loaders? DH and I are looking between the whirlpool and Kenmore washers. And is it even worth it to look into the LG's? They're very pricey. Also, what's a good capacity that can wash queen size comforters? The appliace repair man told me that washers "just aren't made the same nowadays." and that the new ones last an avg of only 10 years. Yikes! You'd think putting in a grand for a washer, it would last the rest of your life, WYT?
He also mentioned that top loaders should last longer than front b/c they typically have 3-4 bearering surrounding the drum, vs. the front loaders that have only 1. Any one else hear anything like that?
