I recently purchased a new washer/dryer - front loading by Amana. I love the fact that the washer only uses 9 gallons of water as opposed to the old top loader's 50 gallons per wash. Clothes come out clean and well-rinsed; they are set upon storage drawers to match. I was lucky to find the whole thing in the 'scratch and dent' room at my local P.C. Richards appliance store and paid under $1,000 for everything. I can't find a single scratch or dent! SCORE!!
