So are you looking for a front-loader, or do you want high-efficeincy? if it is the latter, then there are top loading high efficency washers available… It has worked very well for us, just cut it to size and lay it down before they are delivered. What we did to address this was to buy a “horse mat” sold at farming supply stores, which helps spread out the load and keep them in place. My parents bought a Whirlpool washer and it broke after about a year and the repairs would be more expensive than a new washer, so I would make sure to research whatever brand you buy.Ī few things I found in my research were that the high spin speeds cause the washer to “walk” across the room, and that the increased weight of these units has been known to cause problems if it is not in the basement. However, I don’t know that I would buy from Frigidaire again, and I would recommend that everyone check that the light bulb is attached firmly before use.

They did repair it for free and we have had no problems since. Considering the seriousness of this event, I was expecting at the very least, a new dryer from the company, but that was not the case. He was not hurt at all, but this was severe enough that it could have had much more serious results. HOWEVER, on the 3rd time using the dryer, as my husband went in to grab the clothes out, he noticed the light bulb hanging down and as he got closer, it exploded right near his face. The washer spins them so fast that the dryer is done in less than 30 min. Compared to a standard washer, they do larger loads, use much less detergent and water, and still get just as clean. We have no complaints about how it works. We bought a Frigidaire front loading set about a year ago. The stall mat is highly recommended for front loaders on a second story intallation. I also have a friend who owns the duet and she denies a vibration problem with hers, but it is installed on a concrete surface. I also have read the best material to use to stabilizer a front loader is a stall mat (found in horse feed stores) that can be trimmed to fit and holds > 500lbs and usually are a common gray color. The LG has spinsensense to use to reduce the vibration on wood floors. Running the washer through a rinse cycle with a 1/2 cup of vinegar also will keep any odor at bay, but I have not had to do this with mine as of yet. This is realatively easy to do on the LG d/t the small door on the front of the unit allows easy access to clean out this filter. It is also reccommended that you clean the filter for the washer out once a month because it can collect hair, lint and strings from your laundry that can cause odors to be trapped in your washer. the seal has a split feature with small holes that can trap lint, hair. The manufactuer recommends after each load or after completing the laundry for the day to wipe the interior door down to dry and then to take clean cloth and wipe the interior seal down making sure to clean out the interior portion of the seal. There is a rubber seal in the front of the LG. On further research about the odor issues, here are the recommendations that I have found work for us. My spouse bought me the LG Tromm Steam Washer for Christmas. I see that there are comments about the odor on the front loader washers. (And go for the pedestals! They are definite back-savers.) Purchase from a reputable retailer with a service department that actually services the equipment they sell. I’d absolutely recommend the LG Tromm series. I use liquid fabric softener in every load, so I don’t think that’s an issue (unless you are using a sub-standard product). I do at least 10 loads a week, and would have to do 20 in a regular washer. Only heavily soiled clothes should use slightly more. Many people use WAY too much detergent in these washers (and others don’t bother to use the HE formulation!) A tablespoon is about the most you would need for a standard load of clothes. This may be because I usually leave the washer door open for a few hours after finishing my last load for the day. I have NEVER had an issue with odor, and I am extremely sensitive to unpleasant smells. Service came out and pointed out some hair caught in the seal, and no leak since. I have not had any issues with them except for a leak down the front of the washer once. I purchased LG Tromm front loaders over a year ago.
