Also, the early front-loaders didn't drain well, and had mildew problems.
They are easier on your clothes than the top-loaders, too. I think the spin cycle is somewhat gentler.
I always use cold water with very good results. I always use liquid detergent; I think it dissolves better in cold water.
A friend of mine in Germany had an interesting contraption: a washer/dryer all-in-one! It washes, and then dries the same load! Great if you have a small space, or no outdoor space.

Oh wow I had not heard about the mildew problems. My new washer has frayed some wash clothes up but so far has been OK with clothes.
I have seen these wash/dry combos. Well actually on TV only. Not in a store. Not here.

I think this is a great idea. I'm not sure it would go though. I use all non detergent soaps and low impact cleaners from the health food store. Or actually some regular groceries carry some items now too.

Nooooo. Of course not. I didn't have a cat when I was a child (I was already adult when I put the animal into the front-loader ;) :laugh:).
Seriously: my cat was a TV junkie. She liked to watch the rotating laundry sometimes and she LOVED to sit in front of the aquaium and watch the fish. I always called it the cat telly.
