I sure agree with you on this one! I really dislike my HE front loader!! I got it for all the right reasons--uses less water, supposed to be gentle on clothes and better for septic system--but I miss being able to do small loads, soak things, dye/re-dye fabric, etc. And if I load it and add soap but delay in turning it on, the soap drips down through the door. On top of all that, you have to run a special cycle to clean the machine once a month to keep it from smelling. (How ridiculous is that to have to wash the interior of a washing machine...) I'd take my top loader back in a heartbeat...
