We just purchased a new Whirlpool top loader last month. I like the fact it has 2 rinses. I use the All laundry liquid detergent. No perfumes. I don't use the liquid fabric softener. I use dryer sheets. I get the Seventh Generation dye and perfume free. I've found I only have to use 1/4 of a sheet. I have also noticed with the second rinse I don't really even have to use a dryer sheet. I usually just use the 2 rinses on bath towels and whites. Took me a while to get used to it but so far so good.
