Question Need new washing machine, reviews on those big enough for queen size quilts

The knobs on my Kenmore HE2plus are breaking off. First it was the start button, today i knocked off the wash cycle setting knob. Start button was a push to start so we could still use the washer. The selector knob has a plastic stem that broke. Can now only use the washer at what it was set to last night: the regular wash cycle. DH often chooses to do an extra rinse because he has never been happy with this washer: not enough water. leaves soap in after rinse if he used as much as he needed to get things clean.
He likes top loaders, i like the size of the front loaders. It is getting harder to bend down to pull things in and out. My thoughts on the large capacity top loaders without agitators is that they can't possibly get mechanics/ farmers clothes clean.
Help. I know i'll be replacing the washer by this weekend. Our appliance guy says that sears isn't making the control boards anymore, probably figured out it was a bad design since apparently this is where that model fails.
