Thinking about replacing my 10 year old top loading Maytag. Anybody
have one of these front loaders, or have shopped for them? Best brand
to look at? Ones to stay away from. Was looking at those Frigidairs
but they seem kind of flimsy. Wondered about LG and samsung as compared
to say, a Maytag which I am used to. I know Maytag has always been the
best in the past.

Take what you can with a sample size of 1 but we've had a Frigidaire from
Lowes for just over three years now. Only issue has been an occasional
slight dribble from the front door w/really full load, which appears to be
nearly universal for these puppies.
I have a whirlpool duet (rather pricey) but have had 2 years and it is great!
They do a better job on cleaning, supposedly cleans better and is easier on the
materials (does not beat them up as much). I have not had a single repair. My
uncle used to work for montgomery ward and his opinion was that Whirlpool made
the best washers. cks
I got the extended warranty b/c of the history of these being problems in
the past and relatively new tech for the US manufacturers building them.
Washer has paid for itself with reduced hot/warm water consumption, reduced
demand from our well is a bonus. Much easier on clothes but these do retain
some water and you'll likely get mold at some point esp. if the door is kept
shut.
