New Front Load Washer recomendations

Duet

Are there any newer model FLs which have at least one non-Delicate cycle (such as Permanent Press) offering a water level which at least hits the window? The LG does.

Since so many swear by the Duet, I wanted to know if it did also, and if other brands do.

Duet, Duet, Duet HT!

Forget Frigidaire! The bearing issues are for real, and to spend that kind of money on a machine and have it die after 5 or 6 years is inexcusable. Go with the Whirlpool Duet HT. They have a proven track record, Whirlpool has an excellent service and parts network, and the machines are well engineered. If possible, get it from a bona-fide APPLIANCE DEALER, with their own service dept. They use their own delivery people since they'll be responsible for any warranty issues resulting from sloppy delivery/installation. Home centers contract out their delivery and do not have their own service depts. Sears delivery quality is uncertain. If you must get your machine from them, watch their delivery people like a hawk. Make sure they don't drop or dent the machine, and DON'T LET THEM TAKE THE SHIPPING BRACES OUT UNTIL THEY HAVE THE MACHINE IN YOUR LAUNDRY ROOM! Also, MAKE SURE THEY LEVEL THE MACHINE before they leave.
Again, go with the Duet HT.

They are there to prevent the mechanism from banging around inside the frame while the machine is being moved. Also, MAKE SURE THEY LEVEL THE MACHINE before they leave.
