i’ve had a front loader for several years and i love it, should’ve done it sooner. it is an energy star and I use the most energy eff cycle always. most of my life I have line dry. I am go back to that weather permitting. use the forecast to determine laundry day but, make sure you have full loads and cold water.

I have a lower end American front loader that doesn’t have a heat unit. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I would prefer one that has the heating unit in it since I have my water heater fairly low. I have used the European mid rang when I lived in Germany and LOVED LOVED LOVED and is what got me so hooked on front loaders. I think as long as you get a good quality front loader with the heating (not really necessary (basically it saves on energy costs – cold water is heated in the washer as opposed to using hot water from your water heater and you can control the tempreture)) then you’ve got it made whether an American made or European made.
I will never go back to a top loader EVER. My diapers even washed on warm get nice and clean and smell so good (lol can you believe I smell my diapers?) I use only 1/8 cup of detergent of my choosing (right now SUN brand) and that is IT with a double rinse (I do a pre-wash though to get the potty out of the diapers first). I don’t have well or hard water but do have a septic tank. I put the “enzyems” stuff down my toilet once a month and have lived here 3 years w/o issue. Have fun washer shopping.

There are many reasons out there to buy a front load washer. If you’re an environmentalist, you’ll be interested in their ability to save water, and release less detergents into the water that goes out. For those who are economically minded, if you purchase your water, the decreased utility bills should quickly make up for some of the added cost of the front loader. In the past there was a big disparity between price of the top and front loaders but now there are some companies out there that have released some very economical front load washers. For an example, check out this LG WM2010VW review.
