I bought a Maytag HE front loader washer and the matching dryer. I use the recipe for home made soap in it. I have had no trouble at all and have owned it 1 year. The clerk told me to leave the door open after I finished using it to make sure the rubber seal was thoroughly dried each time or it would develop an odor. No problem. I leave it open until it is dry and I have no odor. It cleans wonderfully, saves on water. It super spins so the clothes go into the dryer drier and the dryer uses less electricity. Most of the clothes come out of the dryer, go on hangers and go straight into the closet. I bought the raised drawers for the units to sit on to save bending over. I totally love everything about both machines.
