Washing machines

[Cinder & Smoke]

you can pause and add to the load ...no problem, I do it all the time.

OK - now HOW do you get the door open when the water level is half way
up in the window??

There is just not much water...thats the whole "HE" idea...low water usage...I usually do it within 5 or 10 minutes but I don't think it makes any difference...you do have to hit pause and wait a few seconds until its ready for you so the water goes to the bottom of the drum...

I've had a GE front loader washer and dryer for 8 yrs now without a problem. I can open the washer after a pause to add a forgotten item with no problem.

My clothes do not come out all twisted and tangled, it comes out the same as when I had a top loader, better in fact.

What I love most about the front load washers is that they hold so much more clothes without that gyrator taking up space.

In February of this year, I bought new washer and dryer. After reading Consumer Reports, I got the LG HE (high efficiency) front load washer, and the coordinating dryer.

Oh my GOSH these are phenomenal! I love the whole set up.


BTW, check with your electric / gas company about rebates. Also check on line, the Energy Start web site for rebates.

AND the federal government is going to be offering rebates as well, similar to what they did with the cars, to get older, less efficient washers and dryers out of use. So you may be able to use that program, it comes out in October (already have specified it is NOT retroactive, so don't buy today and plan to collect next month).

The federal money will be in addition to any other rebates available at the time.

It will cover most appliances: washers and dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers, furnaces, boilers, water heaters, etc.
