Your kitchen looks cozy and homey, Yosef. However, not only do you have a vintage kitchen it seems, but there is something vintage parked in your garage as well. Can you tell me what it is please? Could it be an old Buick?

Looks pretty good value for $175 and not too shabby.

I am totally against pods and tablets. It is impossible to vary the dosage or control how quickly the wrapping breakes to release the detergent. As long as machines come with dispensers it is far better to use powder or liquids - at least they will be added at exactly the right time and not end...

Energy efficiency in laundry is 99% about hot water and has very little to do with the electricity used to actuate the mechanical wash action. If hot water is generated from less expensive and renewable sources the energy efficiency argument falls flat. Here in Australia fresh water use by...

Hi Steve, I am glad you are enjoying your F&P front loader honeymoon rosy glow and that it gives you many years of satisfaction. However, I think Malcolm hit the nail on the head in reply #56. As for linting, I put almost everything I wash through the dryer. There is only a lot of lint in the...

Absolutely Of course you wouldn't find vertical axis washers in large laundry operations. The design doesn't lend itself to washing and rinsing commercial volumes of laundry that are processed by tons rather than a few pounds, by the very nature of that design. Not only is the engineering of...

Laundress, I absolutely respect the fact that you are extremely knowledgeable when it comes to all things laundry. However, after skimming through much of the material that you have linked, there still is no clear and established proof that top loading washing machines are singularly or...

On washing bulky air-filled items I frequently wash feather doonas (duvets) and pillows in my top loader. The secret is to get the water pulled through the material into the stuffing. It takes a little extra work, but my system works just fine. All my doonas are singles, I don't like the pull...

That's right laundress - however in the cases of nursing home laundry staff spreading gastroenteritis among residents and care staff, this occurred, not because of the washing machines that were being used, but the way that laundry staff were handling contaminated laundry. One paragraph...

CR research is supposed to be unbiased. As for the 'scientific' research that has found the gold standard for water to clothes ratios and the best agitation technology to satisfy that standard, please show it to me. With all the claims and counter claims I have yet to see a 'scientific' paper...

Bruce, if a wash system like the Whirly belt drive is that effective, you can shorten wash times and maybe include some soaking to minimize wear on clothes. Of course, when you put your cotton t-shirts and knits in for a full 15 or 20 minute beat-up and do this every week, they'll be showing...

What?! Just one up-tick? Can't believe it. Bloody useless lot you are. Us top loader aficionados must stick together. The front loader brigade has its sights set on world domination and we must stop them. Maybe we can get Trump to abolish efficiency regulations on appliances. Front loaders, like...

I bet that none of the front loader demagogues could ever bring themselves to concede that top loaders are superior to front loaders in their own way. They are too invested in their own delusions of superiority. So they preach to and berate everyone, using manipulative militant environmentalist...

Chris, Your top loader doesn't have good spin efficiency and difficulty cleaning delicate clothes. In Australia most top loaders spin at 800 rpm and higher and there is no issue with decent water extraction. My SQ washer spins at 700 rpm, but I've got the matching dryer which will dry a full...

I vote traditional top loader hands down. Never had a problem and as I've stated before in other threads, my clothes are no less clean or in worse condition than the clothes of people who launder theirs in (expensive, top of the range) front loaders. In fact, I will put money on my clothes being...

How to get paraffin was out of cotton in a top loader - you first use a hot iron and kitchen paper to get the excess wax off, then you spray laundry stain remover on the remaining oily stain and wash it on hot.

I open up the guts of my dryer at least once a year and it's always clean. There is almost no lint or dust build-up on the inside and I am not overly concerned about the quality of the air that is drawn through the machine. My laundry room is well aired and dry. Regular dryers have worked...

Love your washers I bet you've got the cleanest clothes in your neighborhood.

Robert you've bought a dud. Unfortunately it happens (very randomly), and leaves a very bitter taste. I'd be so angry and frustrated if it were me. However, apart from your dud, there are thousands of SQ customers who don't have (major) issues and are very happy with their product. Next time I...
