I have an HE top loader. It uses less water and detergent, just like the front loaders, but doesn't have the odor problem, and I can open it up if I dropped a sock or something on the way to to machine! But I know the front loaders are much cooler looking than the old fashioned looking top loader, but not cool enough for me to spend several hundred dollars more !
