I have a Maytag Neptune, I got it 5 years ago and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I chose it b/c at the time it was the only one with a large opening (the otehr ones we looked at had a smaller opening) and my king size comforter fits in it.

I lOVE LOVE LOVE IT, did I mention that?

We have the Kenmore HE3 and I love it! My parents have the HE3t and they love theirs. Why did we get it? Well at the time it was rated very well in Consumer Reports and we were able to get it at the Sears Outlet for $350 off. :) It cleans our diapers so much better than our old washer and is much gentler on all our clothes. :)

We have a Maytag Neptune and it is of the devil. }( It was one of the ones involved in the class action suit, and we're entitled to a whopping $30 refund on a repair bill for a washing machine that basically keeps getting moldy on the inside. They have been redone into top-loaders since then and there's a new front-loader out by Maytag.

Anyway, our dryer just died, so we're scrapping the washer from heck (donating it probably if someplace wants it!) and getting a Fisher & Paykel set. It's a top-loading washer (and top-loading dryer!) that works like a front loader but without the problems front-loaders have, or at least that's what the research says. I researched washers when we bought the Neptune and it was getting great reviews--right before the class action hit. So reviews schmews. ;)

I did a lot of research recently on washing machines, and I think I'm going to go with the F&P as well. I can't justify paying twice as much for a front loader. The F&P has the same capacity and has gotten gret reviews. I have a friend who has used one for years and loves it. She does about 4 loads of wash a day (she has 5 kids) so it definitely takes a beating and keeps on ticking.

I just don't think you'd recoup the price difference on saved water and utilities. And, I heard that repair costs for front loaders are really expensive whereas the F&P has a simpler system and cheaper repairs.

Would you like me to find the latest Consumer Reports rating on it and send it to you? Or maybe Dh could scan it and I'll attach it here. Just let me know.

BTW, we have the Maytag Neptune as well but it is from the first year it came out so it's now part of a class action lawsuit. I am awaiting the reimbursement of $400 in repairs as a result of the settlement.

Did you already get your money? Did you only get $30 bc that's all you spent? Or is it only $30 bc the attorneys got paid first and that was all that was left?

I am still waiting for my money.

We have a Bosch Nexxt washer and dryer. I'll admit that we didn't choose them - they came with the house. But I really, really, really like them. I'm surprised that the previous owners didn't replace them with something cheaper and take them with them, and our real estate agent was too. But I've been really pleased with this washer and dryer, and if they're still going strong when we plan to move out of here, I'm definitely taking them with me. ;) (Or else buying new ones of the same thing for ourselves!) They both work really well and we've had no problems with them at all. I also really like the digital timer on top that tells you how long a cycle will take and how long is left in the cycle. And the dryer has a handy-dandy light that reminds you to empty the lint filter, and it will actually stop running if you let the lint filter get too full! (I suppose that might annoy some people, but I think it's nice, especially since my husband doesn't always remember to empty it.)

Anyway, sorry, didn't mean to ramble on so much. But I'm thrilled with this washer and dryer. :)

The F&P has a beltless drive system, and belts are usually what go on a washer. Plus it's got 2 year parts and labor warranty, which is really impressive compared to the rest!

The water usage is comparable to front loaders. Electic usage is actually MUCH lower than our Neptune (according to the happy yellow sticker on the front).

LOVE my Kenmore HE3T (which I think is now called HE4T). It's the same as the Maytag Neptune, but made for Sears.

I also have the matching dryer and it's awesome!!!

The one thing I'm sorry I didn't get was the pedestals. At the time, I didn't think I'd need them, but it would be nice to not bend in order to load/empty them.

Costco WAS selling the Neptunes a while ago. Don't know if they still have them on their website.

Get the pedestals. Then everything will be at waist height. Much more comfy.

This is a very timely post as we're about needing to trade our GE Profile W/D. It works fine but DH bought it about 7 years ago - for himself. Our family has grown considerably and I would love something with a bigger capacity and shower drying time!

New pair of Kenmore HE4T,bought at the Sears Outlet for hundreds off. It's made by Whirlpool -- same as their Duet, so see which one the outlet has cheaper.

I cleans like you can't believe. I actually re-washed a bunch of stuff that had been washed in our previous GE pair andI swear everything's cleaner. Only thing I can't stand is that I actually like my clothes and especially towels to smell like the detergen/softener. This thing rinses so well that nothing has a smell -- good or bad.

New pair of Kenmore HE4T,bought at the Sears Outlet for hundreds off. It's made by Whirlpool -- same as their Duet, so see which one the outlet has cheaper.

I cleans like you can't believe. I actually re-washed a bunch of stuff that had been washed in our previous GE pair andI swear everything's cleaner.

I have the Kenmore HE3, and have been very pleased. We bought it when we lived in OR, and got a $275 tax credit for energy efficiency. Between that and getting it on sale, plus extra 10% off for using a Sears charge, it was only $150 more than a similar capacity top loader. And, it uses less than half the water and energy of a top loader. We did not buy the matching dryer, but went with an energy efficient front-loading model that was $400 or so? I think if I had it to do over, I'd buy the HE3T model (now HE4T) because it has an internal water heater, which would be nice to occaisonally really COOK the cloth diapers.
