I have a front loader, GE. Came with the house when we moved in. It does not clean as well as an old use-lots-of-water-and-agitate-the-heck-out-of-it machine. I always leave the door open between washes, but it smells like a stagnant pond.
If it didn't have a counter built over top of it, I would give it away and buy an old fashioned kind.
