My washing machine gave up on me and am in the market for a new one and
would like to know if anyone has a water efficient washer and if they are
satisfied with its performance.

-the cost of a high efficency washer is so great you will never recoop
the cost in the life of the machine.

front load high efficency 1 grand.

standard top load 300 bucks

the price difference will buy you lots of water plus high efficency
washeres have lots of high cost parts like control boards,

so know it will cost you money:(

The cost of the high effeciency is not only the amount of water you save but
you also use less soap and the cloths come out much dryer in a front loading
machine thus saving you on drying time and energy as well. I have a Bosch
front loader and it was well worth the extra money. Until I got this washer
my dryer could never keep up when doing several loads at once, now the dryer
is done before the next load of wash so that tells me I'm saving money in
the drying process as well.

We did the same, we found the same.
We did go for the Maytag Neptune series, and I know there is a lot of
buzz about them not being all that, but our experience has been good,
no problems to date. I bought scratch and dent ones and saved over 1/3
of the price. One tip on front-loaders; use baking soda in addition to
the soap. That eliminated front-loader odor. I buy a bucket of it at
Sam's for ~$5 so not much additional expense there, it lasts forever.

What is front loader odor? Never heard of that?

Thanks, Rich
