Washing machines

[Freedom]

I keep reading conflicting reports on the energy star models with sensors. People love or hate them.

Sorry, sensors for . . . what again? I got lost, lol.

I bought an LG front loader a couple years ago. Advantages: less wear and tear on clothes; uses HE so less volume detergent; uses less water; spins the clothes drier.

BIG disadvantage: 200-250% longer wash time than the top loader.

If I remember right from Consumer Reports, that was true of all top loaders, not just the LG brand.
