Our washing machine quit working the week we moved out of our house. So, we need to replace it before we move into our new house (that is being built). We were looking at the fancy new front loaders, but have been getting some negative feedback. Seems you have to buy some special cleaning kit to run through it once a month, or they smell. Someone else complained that they didn't get her clothes clean, and she went back to a top loader....and believe it or not that was the lady selling appliances! So, we decided to stay with what we are use to ...the traditional top loader, which turned out to be a good idea since we were gifted a still working set from a nephew who recently married and wont be needing his.
Either top or front loaders definitely are a huge improvement over these wringer washers. This Maytag looks pretty sleek tho for its time. Oh, how I love new inventions!! I still prefer hanging clothes outdoors rather than using a dryer.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely a top loader girl myself Janey. Glad we don't have to hand wash in a tub and put through a ringer anymore :)
ReplyDeletei've heard some bad things about the front-loaders, too. i'm sticking with my old top loader. and am grateful to have them working for decades. :)
ReplyDeleteLucky you! A gift and the type you wanted. Top loaded is my favorite, too.
ReplyDeleteI use a top loader too, don't like to go on my knees to get the laundry out or in. I am recovering very well, just a bit tired still. Thanks for your concern.
