I have a frontload GE - love it!

I've heard really good things about the brand Kenmore.

I have a Samsung front load steam washer/dryer set. We got them pretty cheap because we happened to close on our home close to black Friday. I love my washer & dryer. The dryer has a "my cycle" setting that you can program to what you use the most.

We used to have a Kenmore and now we have a...... Whirlpool? I'm not sure. But we've been using the newer one for about 8ish years and it's still going strong!

Don't buy a Maytag! They are not made the same as they used to. Good luck finding a great dryer. I would LOVE to have a set of frontloaders.

We got the Whirlpool Duet front loader...so far I do like them - the cycles are a lot less time than our LG front loaders were (and they weren't even 3 years old when we moved), and it has a great wrinkle release option (for those who forget to take clothes out of the dryer right away). If I'm sitting here after the dryer has gone off, every 15 minutes it will spin the dryer for a minute and stop - I assume that's another wrinkle free feature

I have no idea...both our washer and dryer are about 11 + years old and still going, so we have not even looked around yet. I do know I want front loaders though. We have had luck with kenmore appliances in the past.

thanks all! We got an LG dryer and a washer too since it was getting pretty old too. So nice shiny spiffy laundry room!

I agree with crystal...we have a duet and they rock! They have great a warranty, with extended available. Had ours for 5 yrs now and with 6 ppl + pets I do 4 loads EVERYDAY. Never had dryer serviced yet only washer and it was my fault( long story.lol).
