I have a set of Samsung. (HE) top loading washer. I like that there is no center agitator. Washer has lots of settings, including bedding, heavy duty, etc. I use Eco soap from Costco, and white vinegar in the rinse. No issue with any smells, and I get clean clothes. It also has a Pause button, so I can add something if needed. The dryer is super! Has all kinds of settings. Including wool, and one with "sensor". Also has steam cycles to refresh or get wrinkles out. Has a Pause button too.
Hope you find something you like. I suggest you go to Sears, and check out the selection of different brands, options, etc.
