The fridge we just bought is a Samsung and the appliance delivery guy said that all of his appliances are Samsung.

It's he and I don't think it uses too much water. I had a front loader and hated it.

We have the matching set - would skip the steam feature on the dryer...I'm not a fan and wish we would haven't spent the extra $150-200 on it. I use the soaker top a lot though (we do not have a sink in our laundry room so this works for us to rinse/soak) </p> <p><a href="http://www.samsung.com/us/home-appliances/washers/top-load/wa8650-5-2-cu--ft--activewash--top-load-washer-with-integrated-controls-wa52m8650av-a4/" rel="nofollow">http://www.samsung.com/us/home-appliances/washers/top-load/wa8650-5-2-cu--ft--activewash--top-load-washer-with-integrated-controls-wa52m8650av-a4/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-washer#post-2735971 Mon, 15 May 2017 09:38:40 +0000 skinnycow 2735971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have this Samsung top loader with no agitator and have no complaints.

This washer came with our house and I think was one of the early generation front loaders. I'm sure those currently available are better </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-washer#post-2735960 Mon, 15 May 2017 09:15:47 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2735960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do love our LG front loader, but it sounds as if you weren't a fan of front loaders. I know they have a lot of energy efficient top loaders now and curious to see who loves what! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-new-washer#post-2735958 Mon, 15 May 2017 09:12:50 +0000 kiddosc 2735958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our wash machine died this morning. I hated it, and I'm glad to see it go. Sure it's inconvenient that it died just 2 weeks after our fridge did, but we've got a shiny new Lowe's credit account now :meh: It was a whirlpool front loader and I felt like it never got our clothes especially clean. I ran everything with the max amount of detergent, on the whitest whites cycle with an extra rinse and I still didn't feel like DH's shirts every stopped smelling like his deodorant. </p> <p>Does anyone have a washing machine they love? I loved our old top loader with an agitator, but realize that probably wasn't the best for water consumption, or our clothes longevity... but at least they were clean! </p>
