Recommend your washer

I posted this on the CD board but didn't get much response. Maybe y'all have some ideas.

I want to replace our washer before our first LO comes b/c our current is really old and who knows how much longer it will last, doesn't have a hot wash option for CD's, or pre-rinse/extra rinse, etc. 

I searched archives on diaper swappers and a lot of people seemed to recommend Fisher&Paykel top-loader (which I'd never heard of before, not sure how easy to find up here). 

What do you recommend or even definitely not recommend? Esp. looking for one that will work well on CD's without manipulating it too much as well as clothes.

    We have an lg front loader with "Add water" option and "Sanitary" option.

    LG (to my knowledge) is the only brand with the add water option. It's WONDERFUL. My clothes get washed regular HE. Diapers on add water. I've used Sanitary on PF and wipes a few times.

    It was only like 550 I think? I'm smitten.

    I also absolutely love my LG front loader.  I don't have the sanitize option on mine, but use the "water plus" option for my diapers.  I've CD'd fulltime for over a year and have no problems getting them clean.  The regular options are great for normal clothes washes and I never thought I would, but I use the delay start feature quite a bit too.

    We too have LG -- LG and I think there's one Magtag are the ONLY front loaders out there with a "more water plus" option.  I think that's a must for CDing.  We used to use the sanitary options but it ruined the PUL in my Rumparooz (it didn't say on the packaging you can't use sanitary but on their website it does and oh it voids the warranty).  So now I just use hot and it seems ok though I do think the sanity worked better (such is life).  I still use the RARs even with the bubbled PUL and they seem to still work.
