Have any of you owned a Front loading washer, AND a new Top-Loading one? -- HokieSignGuy 01/15/2019 11:09AM I left a Maytag front loader when I left Blacksburg last spring. -- HokieHeartNSoul 01/15/2019 7:03PM Our top loader is possessed, if not for hoses, would walk across basement. -- FrederickHokie 01/15/2019 6:35PM Have top loader without agitator, love it -- VaTechie 01/15/2019 5:47PM I've only ever owned low-tech top loaders, but I've been curious... -- MP4VT2004 01/15/2019 2:04PM Front loaders use less water, run/agitatege longer, and wear out clothes -- 133743Hokie 01/15/2019 5:24PM My front loader can be paused and items added. -- Wythe Hokie 01/15/2019 4:07PM Cool, thanks for the input! ** -- MP4VT2004 01/15/2019 4:53PM My top loader locks the top when it starts, so it has the same issue. -- EDGEMAN 01/15/2019 2:17PM Probably varies by type, but my top loader has a "pause", allows additions -- Dan1993 01/15/2019 2:40PM Replaced Front Loader with Top Loader, wife hated Front Loader, no matter -- BRVT 01/15/2019 1:32PM Have heard about the "smell" issue from several people, thus... -- EDGEMAN 01/15/2019 1:41PM I've heard one should leave the door open when not in use. (obviously) -- 48zip 01/15/2019 1:56PM Supposedly the smell is also a result of using too much detergent -- Cloverly Hokie 01/15/2019 2:38PM Yeah, we use maybe a TBS or two. Also need to dry the seal and door off -- reestuart 01/15/2019 2:45PM Definitely less soap is required. ** -- 48zip 01/15/2019 2:40PM Just a front loader from Kenmoore. 5-10 years old. No real issues. -- reestuart 01/15/2019 1:07PM Yes, my wife despised the front-loading Samsung but loves the... -- Spud 01/15/2019 12:26PM I've had both, bought an LG top loader in 2017. -- Dan1993 01/15/2019 12:33PM My front loader leaked. The clamshell was a beast to replace. -- 48zip 01/15/2019 12:20PM Yes. -- vtbones 01/15/2019 11:55AM We have a top loading Whirlpool...the bearings have already started to... -- Major Kong 01/15/2019 11:53AM My next washer with be a top-loader Speed Queen -- EDGEMAN 01/15/2019 1:43PM I just replaced the bearings in my top load Whirpool -- MAHokie69 01/15/2019 12:21PM This is the 2nd set of bearings we're on now...it will be the last... -- Major Kong 01/15/2019 4:22PM Wow! Our first set lasted over 6 years ** -- MAHokie69 01/16/2019 09:33AM She did say Speed Queen is the standard in washers. Everyone else -- ElbertoHokie 01/15/2019 11:58AM I'm lucky to have 2 appliance repairmen in the family. One in Saltville... -- Major Kong 01/15/2019 4:28PM No. BUT I own a new toploader with a central agigator. -- ElbertoHokie 01/15/2019 11:11AM I was a big fan of GE/Hotpoint top loaders for decades... -- Hokie in CT 01/15/2019 11:58AM I have a top loader w/o the agitator. -- Guy LeDouche 01/15/2019 11:53AM Biggest thing you can do with a front loader is keep it open when not used -- Vienna_Hokie 01/15/2019 11:26AM I second this approach. We keep the washer and detergent drawer propped -- Late 80s Hokie 01/15/2019 2:18PM I have a top-loader with agitator too... the thing just keeps working... -- HokieSignGuy 01/15/2019 11:13AM She also recommended against the front loader for the reasons above. -- ElbertoHokie 01/15/2019 11:20AM I've heard many a homeowner complain about front loaders -- Tafkam Hokie 01/15/2019 11:30AM They also take less drying time, due to high speed spin cycle. But.... -- 48zip 01/15/2019 2:29PM Commercials probably have the rubber seals cleaned regularly. ** -- Femoyer Hokie 01/15/2019 11:45AM Commercials are always in use, no time to develop the stank ** -- Vienna_Hokie 01/15/2019 11:31AM I would dispute that, at least at some laundromats. -- Tafkam Hokie 01/15/2019 11:36AM I think the drainage in those commercial units is different... I think they -- HokieSignGuy 01/15/2019 12:01PM Here you go... -- `lag 01/16/2019 10:32AM Hahaha, that can certainly bunch-up some panties. -- HokieSignGuy 01/16/2019 11:07AM Send me the money in quarters so it can't be traced ** -- `lag 01/16/2019 11:18AM They're actually called washers/extractors due to the high speed spinning. -- 48zip 01/15/2019 2:36PM Interesting perspective. thanks ** -- HokieSignGuy 01/15/2019 11:28AM Having had both I would agree, my wife keeps hoping for the fl to quit -- Vienna_Hokie 01/15/2019 11:28AMTech Sideline is Presented By:
