When my old washer died, I purchased a Samsung top loading HE. It was very disconcerting that it used less water than I had been used to, and I began to notice that my wash cloths that I used on my face smelled bad after they got wet. I did some research and there were many suggestions to combat this problem peculiar to HE's. What I do now, is use hot water instead of the warm that pops up automatically and I always press the double rinse button. Problem went away. Also, I leave the lid open for a few hours to let the washer dry out between use. That way, no molds build up.
I did a lot of research before buying and decided front loaders were not best for me.
