I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my front loader. My only complaint is if I drop a sock or washcloth, there's no way to add it later.
BUT, mine is the biggest I could find and it has a bunch of cycles, cold, warm/cold, warm/warm, hot and sanitize temps, several spin speed choices, several soil level choices, extra rinse, extra spin and a "spin only" cycle. It also has a hand wash cycle that is so easy on stuff--barely tumbles it, then lets it rest, pretty much like you'd do if you were washing in the sink. I use this cycle a lot for washing new fabric. It doesn't let the ends fray as much as a regular cycle. (Big Blue Elecrolux!)
