I bought an Amana top loader set from Lowe's 2 years ago..fills up, rinses well, and the clothes are almost dry when you take them out it spins so well. It's made in the USA, so that's a plus. The only thing that I dislike about it is there is no way to add fabric softener without watching it for the rinse cycle, then stopping the machine and add it manually, but I've adapted. Other than that, I'm very happy with mine.
