I have the front loading washer and dryer stacked set and am very satisfied with performance and how clean the clothes come out. Very quiet and no vibrating. I use the regular liquid soaps and have no problem, but the salesperson did tell us to use less than for top loaders. So less soap, less water and sparkling clothes with savings on both soap and water. And I can put double the amount of clothes in since the agitator isn't there.
