I hate mine. I will never, ever, ever have another front loader. Among the many things I dislike about this washer (and it is a top of the line model), three off the top of my head is that I cannot add anything once the load starts like you can with a top loader, it doesn't clean nearly as well as a top loader and (this is important to a quilter and one thing I did NOT think of before purchasing this washer) you cannot soak a quilt the way you can in a top loader.
Oh yes, and then there is the whole musty, mildewy problem with the rubber part around the opening to the washer that gets so yucky and nasty. I have to clean this after almost every wash with vinegar (sometimes bleach if I forgot and left it a week or two). Yuck!
My next machine will definitely be a top loader. I have lots of friends and family with front loaders and almost all of them feel the same way. Very few people I know would ever buy a front loader again.
