But the front load is fantastic! I highly recommend.
I have one of the "newer" high efficiency top loaders and that is my number one complaint! I cannot soak anything because the tub does not fill up with water. I have to send all my "soaking" home with my mom because she has a regular washer. It also does not dye fabrics very well, either.
Other than that, it uses less water and holds more, so I do fewer loads.
