Front-load washer?

 Looks like I'm gonna want a stacking washer/dryer.  The dealers seem
to be pushing front-loaders everywhere now.  Near as I can tell, the
front-load options allow for fullsize units, as opposed to the smaller
stackable top-loaders.  Do you use a front-load washer?  Happy with
it?  More bending over to load and unload?  Consumer Reports said
sumpthin about greater difficulty loading, not sure what they meant...

   We have a front-load washer, which we bought a few years ago. Seems to
do fine washing the clothes, and uses a lot less water and detergent.

   No more bending over to load and unload than the front-load dryer
beside it (which is 20 years old).... The trip from the washer to the
dryer is shorter - I just get down on my knees and move it from one to the
other in handfulls until it's all done. Then I stand up. I lose socks in
the washer at about the same rate as in the dryer - you do need to "get
down" to fish out the ones stuck to the top of the drum.

 
You musta spent some time training your socks - mine crawl behind the
drum to hide.  And, while I couldn't prove this, I'm pretty sure some
of them have managed to escape the washer entirely at some point in
the cycle.

 The appliance manager at BestBuy told me sumpthin sorta weird, but
maybe it's true - he says the LG washers are great, but because they
go to max spin instantly, there can be sympathetic vibration of floors
etc.

That's not an LG thing.  You can't install a front-load washer anywhere but
a basement, on a solid concrete floor.  That is, unless you LIKE all your
pictures shaking off the walls.  :)  -Dave
