Washing machines

[sasvermont]

I bought HEt3 washer and dryer set a few year ago. I love them - and have only a few problems (included in the extended warranty). I do not have tangled clothing coming out of the washer. The washer has so many different cycle that you can always find the right one for the style of washing you will be doing.

I think Kenmore now makes HEt6 - has a few more bells and whistles than the HEt3.

The water level in the washer goes to the level required to do the wash at the moment. So you never have excess water being used. It wets the clothing but does not waste water at the same time. The spin cycle is amazing and the clothes come out light and ready for drying. I have an electric dryer and didn't notice a bit of difference in my electric bill once I began to use it.

Both appliances are large and hold a huge amount of dirty clothes.

I give the Hettie (commonly known as) washer and dryer, a thumbs up!

A few years age I ended up buying a front loading Kenmore washer and dryer. Before making any decisions I went and checked up on the Consumer's Reports (usually available free at your local library) and Kenmore was a CR choice.

I tend to go with CR more than individual consumer reviews simply because all the machines are put through exactly the same tests, so you are comparing apples to apples.

Good luck...
