I can see I have some looking around to do! Great information from everyone! My old washer/dryer was a Whirlpool XL stack unit which I loved as far as the service and the way it operated. I just don't want another stack unit and thought I should take this opportunity to get something more efficient. This one was over 10 years old and worked great. Unfortunately, I had a garage fire which started close to the unit that it burned it so badly that the insurance adjuster had to ask me what make it was. I didn't even know they made top loading HEs! Thanks for your comments!!
