I swear my clothes come out cleaner. I wore out my first HE washer and bought another. The seal around the door are now made of a different material to repel the mildew that collects when shutting the door all the way.
I wouldn't have any other kind....Did I say I love my HE washer?
The best kept secret is to buy the dry chlorine bleach from Leslie's Pool Supply and use 1/2 TBSP when doing whites. (Mix it with your powder detergent - no more ruining clothes with liquid bleach). The added benefit is it cleans the tub. No more mildew problem. This product is meant for pools so it's very powerful - don't use too much - just a little bit.
Forgot to mention, always use the prewash option, placing half the detergent in that cup. Its like washing your clothes twice, but is very kind to them.
