I absolutely hate my front loading HE washing machine. Hate, hate, hate, hate. GE was so proud of the product they produced that they discontinued the model (and service) less than a year after releasing it. It was the first washing machine the wife and I purchased back in 2008. Time to move on. We are looking at a top loading washing machine to work around a few issues with the front loading machines. I went to the store to look and saw that some machines do not use agitators any more. Who knew?!
My question, do top loading HE washing machines that do not come with an agitator clean clothes as well as the models that use an agitator?
Second question, does anyone have any recommendations for models I should look at? I do not need an extra large basin, a steam clean option, fancy buttons, or extra features. I want a good, reliable, and long lasting machine. This machine will be used inside our house.
I'm so sick of the mold smell that goes with with my front loading machine (well documented on the internets). No amount of cleaners, air drying, bleach, rain dances, or home remedies seem to alleviate the problem. Time to get a new beast.
thank you for your opinion.
