I just bought the flashiest hair dryer I could find a few weeks ago. It has 30 different settings! (Combinations of different heat and power levels.) Guess what? It's broken down already.

Here in UK nearly everyone has front-loading machines. Therefore, I have never been able to add an item I forgot to the wash. That would be amazing! (I am easily pleased, huh?)

Good to know. My washer and dryer are in good shape, so I'm not even in the market. Any insights on the perfect stove? That I am in the market for and just can't decide!

well......front loaders sux.Who wants to bend down to see in them? We have a Fisher Paykel 7.5kg model which is a smart drive model. Cost a bit for some repairs recently.....but it is about 10 years old, and mother board got zapped in an electrical storm, so cannot blame it. AND.....the spin is soooooo good, clothes nearly dry, and takes about 10 minutes on the OUTSIDE line for sun drying. Great machine, allows smallest loads and large, and we use the grey water on the garden too.

About six years ago I got one of those fancy Fisher-Paykel washers where everything runs by magnets, it sounds like a jet engine and was supposed to be "it". It was priced accordingly. So I got suckered in and I HATED the damn thing. After a couple of years it started leaking and I convinced hubby that we needed to get rid of it and buy an inexpensive GE machine for a third of the Fisher-Paykel washer and I've been happy ever since.

Front loaders are normal here in Europe (probably because they take up less space and dwellings are smaller here) and I do agree that it's awful having to take your clothes out over the stuff you've just washed.

Give me a normal top loader any day.

Well....that's food for thought. My 15 year old washer and dryer are both on their last legs and I have been coveting one of those front loaders. I'm short, and I have to stand on tip toe to get clothes out of the top loader. I'll definitely do my research and try not to fall for the sales pitch.

I'm glad you got to get a new set. Sometimes, simple is better.

I agree a person should love their washer, or at least not hate it. I've never met anyone who didn't love their front loader though. I'm in absolute lust with mine.

It's funny how we all are so different. I got a front loader and dryer set a few months ago and feel so liberated. My old conventional machine could only handle 1 laundry basket-full. The front loader can handle 2-1/2 laundry baskets at one time. And it only takes 40 minutes to dry that huge load. It is a massive time saver to me.

I hope your new W&D work out well for you.
