Late winter/early spring 1978, I had a contract on a brand new build condo in SW Houston that had stacked Space Mates and was one of the reasons why I liked the townhouse.  It also had a WP dishwasher.  Not 2 seeks after I signed the contract,  found out I was beieng transferred to northwest Houston and had to have a letter from VP stating I was going to have to relocate and that was the only way I was able to get out of the contract.  After I was transferred up here in 1986, found out one of the engineers who had liv3eed here for a long time, they had a Laundromat with the side-swing door.  That's all they'd had were WH front loaders as well as her mom and it was the only acceptable washer.  They nursed this last one along as long as they could until it rusted itself to death.  they hated the top loader they had to settle for when WH had ceased production of these.

It all goes back to personal preference I guess. I personally have never liked Westinghouse front loaders and found them to be much less than most other machines as far as washability and water extraction. They were useful for me in the commercial laundry though, for small dark loads of shirts and pants because they got rid of most all of the lint and sediment. So I do have to give it them for that because they were plentiful and fairly easy to work on too.
