I had an old kenmore set that the buyer of our house wanted. The people we bought from left their relatively new whirlpool front loaders. I hated them. They both had problems. We had a home warranty that fixed the dryer but the washer was too expensive a fix for them. I got the GE top loader washer with an agitator. I guess it is digital. It is HE but has a feature where you can hit the fill button as many times as you want to fill it completely. It also has a small, medium, large load selector or you can use precise fill and it will figure it out. And the drum is huge. I do less loads with it. The main wash cycle is so much quicker than the front loader. I LOVE this set. Clothes come out clean and no smells inside. The matching gas dryer is great too. I am very happy with it. I hope it lasts a long time.
