New washing machine: advice solicited
Jul. 9th, 2009 09:00 pmOur washing machine has quit doing the spin cycle (again). The last time we had this fixed, we decided after the fact that repair costs weren't worth it and we should just get a new machine the next time. Well, now it's the next time.
I plan to buy a new one by this weekend. My default choice would be whatever Costco happens to be selling, on-line it looks like they don't sell front-loading washers separately, but who knows what the choice would be if I go into the store.
I have an extremely strong preference for front-loading, because then I can store items on top without having to move them every time we need to do laundry. Other than that I'm not too particular. I'd prefer something that lasts to something that falls apart, and I'd prefer something large enough to handle our king-size comforter.
Any good and/or bad experiences with particular brands/models before I do this?
