Bob, you got a Fridgemore? How do you like it so far? I know this is something you've wanted for some time. Did the Kenmore give up the ghost?

I did now; that's wonderful Bob! I'm glad you're enjoying it. 
Top vs Front
A top loader costs less to buy, less to service and typically lasts longer. A front loader is less expensive to run. A top loader will run with any old cheap soap and a front loader operates more efficiently with an HE detergent. You can overload a front loader without harming the transmission. A top loader cleans better, ie farmer overalls, mechanic uniforms etc. You can soak laundry in a top loader. Front loaders use less water. Top loaders have less load leveling issues. Front loaders spin faster. Top loaders spin more quietly. Front loaders are gentler with delicate clothing. I have never heard of a top loading machine with a mold issue.
Given the choice, I am a TL kind of guy.

618 RPM on "Normal" to be exact...it's quite interesting that Maytag had that speed early on, even with the AMP models!
Interesting facts
Rule of thumb on load size.....

Kelly you are so right!
Gary, I am surprised that the DC TL instruction manual does not seem to indicate "default" speeds as Chuck (cehalstead) referenced in his above post.
Well GG, sounds like you are happy with it!

Magical and Musical!
YAYYYYYY!
I am finally catching up on posts after a busy weekend, and I am thrilled to know you love that Maytag and that it SOUNDS like a Maytag. I love the sound of my A608!
I was out at Fred Nelson's for dinner last night, we talked about the DC machines and how they are really the LAST Maytags.
My mom's had her DC machine fro 10 years now, no problems or repairs, just likes to "walk" occasionally when it spins because she underloads with clothes and uses too much water.
Enjoy your new machine!

Now, the juicy part!
Gary,
Did you know, that with the lid switch bypassed, the agitation set for slow and the wash time set for 10 minutes, you can something other than cheap fabric softener to the cup lie back and be carried away to a place where not only visions of the repairman, but stars, dance before your eyes.
We have ways of making you happy, old man!

congrats Gary!
I have the same machines as you! My Neptune is exact same model, but my TL also has a double wash and soak cycles. Love them both!

matching dryer
Gary:
Glad it worked for you....that is one feature I really miss that was on my old PowerFin from the 80's. You could select that speed on any cycle.
btw....just bought the matching dryer to your washer in June...love it !!!!
If you would like, private e-mail me sometime and maybe we could work out a phone chat about our 'Tags...
