Pacific Daylight Time Subj: Re: [ SHOWGSD-L ] washing machines I have to admit that I was not all that impressed with our front load Maytag. I don't think it gets the clothes as clean as some of the top loaders I've had especially the whites! It also shakes like we are having an earthquake (ours is upstairs) and the pots on my pot rack in my kitchen bang against one another while the clothes are in the spin cycles. I wash a lot of throw rugs and I seem to have to adjust the load manually a couple of times during the cycles. It's almost like the machine just doesn't want to exert too much effort. Maybe I'm naive but I always ask how heavy duty the heavy duty washer is and they always assure me that I will be able to wash all of my wonderfully filthy items without any problems. That is until the guy comes out to unplug the drain hole (in the machine) because I wasn't supposed to wash rubber backed rugs. The little pieces of rubber like to form a nice big plug, about 2 inches in diameter. Yuk! Now that being said, I do know people who have LGs and they seem to really like them but they don't have animals or wash the sort of big items like I seem to do. Good luck on the quest for the perfect washing machine. I think it only truly exisits in my dreams!!
