If you have a frontloader...

That you love for CDs, what brand and model is it?  I'm in the market for one.

We have the LG steam washer. We loved it for our clothes, and it works great for CD's. It has extra water and extra rinse options, and has a selector for the "soil level" which increases the agitation time.

I use the steam option to freshen my dry clean only clothes in between dry cleaning....at least I did when I wore suits almost every day. My yoga pants and tshirts don't need it.....

I've totally been interested in these.  So you don't have to put a towel in it or anything for your CDs?  Just use the extra water option and you're good to go?

Yup. The only issue I have had so far is I was using Tide to the 1 line when we started. I never reduced the amount after the NB stage when the number of diapers went down. I got some buildup. A hot water strip and detergent reduction solved the problem. So that was not a washer problem. Otherwise things get nice and clean. We're 5 months in.

Also, for regular laundry, it holds a TON. And still gets it clean.

@Brandiewine11‌ we also have an LG front loader and I'm having trouble with my routine. I also use tide. What is your normal wash?

I have the Samsung steam HEFL. I'll have to look up the specific model. We haven't had issues. I love that it has extra wash, extra rinse, and extra spin options.

I do a warm quick wash with extra water - no detergent. Then a hot wash on "normal" with heavy soil level and extra rinse with 2-3 tbsp of tide. I use 2 for eod wash and 3 if there is a 3rd day of diapers.

I have semi hard water.

I have this set also, and I have had many issues. Finally got a routine that works, but I have to add towels, etc. It's annoying. Perhaps it is our hard water? Anyway, if I were in the market for a new machine, I'd either get a non-HE one, or make sure it has the "extra water" option that PP mentioned.
