We had an old Magtag washer and dryer... It worked very well and did a good job for a long time.. then the tornado took everything and we bought an LG front load washer and dryer, plus the kit to make them stackable.. I love it.. It takes up half the room and yet they are full size machines.. On top of that it cleans the clothes very well and doesn't tangle everything up.. and there's more.. when the machine finishes it sings a little song instead of that awful blast of sound! I'm very happy.
