I have a Samsung front loader, love it! Cycle is 56 minutes, and the spin cycle takes so much water out of the clothes, the drying cycle is much shorter. Very quiet, too. One problem with FL's is that you need to wipe off the inside of the door and leave it ajar, because there have been reports of musty smells in rare cases. I just use the last thing going into the dryer to give it a quick wipe, all done.
