Washer recs? HE?

We need to purchase a new washer and dryer today but am wondering if a high efficiency one works. I am having a hard time finding the standard ones. What do you ladies have and what would you purchase?

Re: Washer recs? HE?

  • I love my Kenmore Elite HE FL. They can be tricky to figure out, but I like them.

  • I was happy with my Whirlpool Duet before we moved. 

    Now we have a Bosch Maxx 5 and it works pretty well too. Just wish it was bigger.

    My one complaint with HE washers is the cycles can take a really long time compared to conventional washers. But once you know how long your cycles take you can plan around that.

  • If I ever buy another washer, I would get an HE top load. I can't wash pillows in mine without it saying its unbalanced and shutting off. So I have soaked pillows full of soap I can't get rinsed and spun. I have a FL right now.

  • I have a Samsung HEFL and don't really have any complaints. The dryer squeaks, but it washes clothes and diapers just fine.

    If water wasn't an object I would probably get a traditional for doing diapers and keep it in the basement because I feel like the extra water helps with really messy stuff.  But our water bills are insanely high even with all energy efficient/HE appliances.  I love our Samsung HE FL though.  Gets everything clean and has a "quick wash cycle" that cleans in 21 minutes for our everyday stuff.

    We have one of these, have had it a few months.  It works well.  My CD cycle takes nearly 3 hours in the washer, but I like that I can program that cycle in one go and walk away.  Alternatively I like that my regular clothes come clean in a 'quick clean' cycle that is only 35 minutes.
