Well, our 10 year-old Electrolux Wave Touch washer succumbed to the common front-load seal and bearing failure, just like our Frigidaire FL before it. (Only the bearing on the Frigidaire only lasted 4 years)
We opted for an LG Top-loader and matching dryer with the front controls. As my husband and I are getting on in years, the new set will be easier for us to move around for cleaning. The hot water is indeed dumbed down, but the trade-off is that the machine will let you fill it with water, as long as you don't mind the water being cold.
It shares long cycle times with the front-loader it replaced. The old washer had long cycle times mostly due to the balancing algorithms. The new LG top-load would be speedier if the cycles weren't festooned with seemingly unnecessary pauses. So far, though, we like this set.
