We've had 2 front-loaders and are not happy with them. While they clean well enough, the trouble is they are prone to mildew around the rim, and sometimes I feel there's not enough water for certain loads. The first washer didn't live more than six years before ball bearing wore out. Our current one is usually okay but sometimes doesn't spin the clothes completely dry, for reasons we can't figure out.
When I was talking to a local independent appliance store owner, she sang the praises of Speed Queen top loaders. Said they hold huge loads or comforters easily, you adjust the water load and temp, they clean very well, they rarely need a service call, and they're real workhouses. It would be my first pick when we need to replace our Samsung.
