I have the G.E. Harmony Washer and I love it.You can do anything with that machine.I like how it saves water most of the time but you can hit the Throw-rug setting and it fills up all the way and really cool to watch it has a see-through window perfect for us folks.We first had a Front load G.E. and hated it there is not enough water to wash and you cant do nothing about it.To give a example when in wash mode when it would stop and reverse there would be no water dripping.The clothes were wet but thats about it.The longest wash was 3+ hours and still I couldnt get out the smell out of my gym clothes.The Harmony has no agitator it has a plate on the bottom and the steel basket has bumps and they go back and forth then it will do a slight spin to pull water through the clothes.It outwashes the Frontloader on the shortwash 40Mins and there clean at that than the other at 3.5 hours.I lost my leg and Im back in college and live back home so this is my Moms washer I would much rather have a Jet-cone but that Harmony is a Great washer so far and it is used twice a day and never had one thing go wrong with it but it is $$$$..

Just got a Speed Queen MOL washer for $560.00 and we love it. OUr '95 Maytag's tub seal was leaking and I wasn't impressed enough with the Maytag to save it.

You can't go wrong with a Speed Queen. The Fisher/Paykel was our 2nd choice, but the difference in capacity seemed too big. The F/P was the older agitator style.

I'm glad to see toploaders that are larger capacity, with plenty of water, and slower agitators that won't shred clothing, are still available. And I'm glad the Maytag died before the environmental wackos and the federal government took all of my choices away from me.
