We bought a Whirlpool Cabrio last spring - I LOVE it!!

It's a top loader with front loading action - no agitator. Have to use the HE detergent. Since we have a very good water softener, I use no more than 1 tablespoon for a full load. Absolutely no complaints. Did I say it has a glass top - so I get my thrills by watching the clothes wash

Over the previous years, we had had 2 front-loading Maytags. Never again. My DIL has one, though, and loves hers.
