I absolutely despise my front loader washing machine and would throw it out if it hadn't cost over $1,000. It tangles all the sleeves and pant legs terribly and when you pull out one item they all some streaming out onto the floor. If it were a top loader they would fall back into the machine. I practically have to stand on my head to reach the items clinging to the back of the drum. Using color catchers is a hazard also. Because of the low water level it means there are many products that can't be used such as Retayne. The cheesy molding around the door has broken off in many places but the seal is still good. Apparently I'm not the only one with these complaints because the sale of the new top loaders has really taken off.
