But then I decided I wanted a front loader, and bought a Frigidaire. Very bad decision! I have hated it ever since! The only soap that I can use in it that will get my clothes clean is Tide HE (high efficiency)--which is expensive even at Costco! I would give anything to get my old Maytag back.Homestay Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760739583890418503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635387222361395991.post-4017104274265240552009-05-27T12:10:52.651+09:302009-05-27T12:10:52.651+09:30Hello there Beth
Thanks for your comments. I thi...Hello there Beth<br /><br />Thanks for your comments. I think I have decided...I think. As I don't use detergent to wash but laundry balls (laundryball.com.au) and we are in drought here I'd like to make water efficiency a very high priority. So I am ringing around to get a good Bosch front loader for a medium range price.<br /><br />Wish me luck. I have one store saying they can better any price I can get. So just have to find the best price first. With end of year sales around the corner I am hoping my old Simpson will last the distance to the best price. It certainly didn't like my three loads this morning!! Now, 3 hrs later, it is finishing the last load. :)<br /><br />See you again<br />CeeCeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18038238586812568949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635387222361395991.post-33883384521445338512009-05-27T10:28:46.811+09:302009-05-27T10:28:46.811+09:30Hello friend on the other side of the globe! I bo...Hello friend on the other side of the globe! I bought a new washer recently myself and I can feel your pain as you research and read and try to make a good decision. For what it is worth, I decided against the new front loaders because they require more expensive detergents and because a good middle of the road top loader was more in my price range. We bought a good Maytag and I love how it has performed so far. Don't know if you can get that brand where you are but i love mine. Happy washing!<br />BethBeth Brawley Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13157351971656873986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635387222361395991.post-82751707237200416052009-05-26T20:34:52.435+09:302009-05-26T20:34:52.435+09:30Thanks for your thoughts Pip.

Yet I still seem to have at least a load a day with sheets and towels included in the mix for our little family. That is good advice to buy a high capacity machine. We've researched, now I think we need to take a look.<br /><br />Cheers, CeeCeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18038238586812568949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635387222361395991.post-15953932929388648952009-05-26T14:57:23.439+09:302009-05-26T14:57:23.439+09:30Yes, I would surely miss my washing machine if I d...Yes, I would surely miss my washing machine if I didn't have it. I can't really give you any advice on machines, we've had ours for a while, it's a Westinghouse toploader (couldn't afford a front-loader) with an eco-rinse option. I do wash a lot less than I used to, that is we wear our clothes more before we wash them (not just wear it once and wash it) and one thing when they say a machine will wash a 6kg load (or whatever) they mean when it is really crammed in, which of course means it doesn't wash as well, so buy the biggest capacity machine you can afford. These shorter and cooler days are certainly making a difference to the drying times aren't they?<br />take care<br />PipPiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024358673602132526noreply@blogger.com
