I bought a Whirlpool topload high efficiency last year. I LOVE it! I had held on to my 25 year old washer because I'd heard a lot of bad things about the new ones. Mine is great. Cleans well, easy to use and HUGE. The only thing I will tell you is to read the manual. Mine works differently than my old one and has to be loaded differently. Once I got that down, I really like it.
