Re: [MBZ] OT best new washer dryer

speaking of new washers, we bought a new Whirlpool washer for about $500 from Best Buy - but  it has no agitator and won't clean the clothes.  I used to think W'Pool was a quality product but no more... IMO stay away from W'pool... and if we ever must buy another washer we'll look for one

Stanley Steamers were very fast -- cylinder directly coupled to the axle in some cases, and big wheels. One of the Stanley brothers was killed racing one on the sea shore, went out of control at well over 100 mph (on wooden wheels, no less) and crashed. Pretty sharp for the day, but getting

I bought a Bosch front loader a few years ago. Other than the front loader thing of tying all the shirts into knots and jumping around, it's a great washer. For absolutely best life though, I'd second the Speed Queen. Make sure it's well bolted down though, they don't have "wobble" sensors
