Detergent drawer in Zanussi Flexi Dose machine. Its very small and only has 2 compartments. Unlike the Jetsystem which is longer.

LG WM1355HW

I don't know when it was made, but I bought it brand new from Sears and just had it installed last Friday, June 20, 2014. It's an LG WM1355HW, 2.7 cubic feet, apartment-sized front load washer. So far I love how quiet it is, and it sings to me when it's done! :)

I wanted a Miele, but it was way more expensive, and the door opened the wrong way for my laundry closet.

It's my first front loader, and I have followed the tips I have found here such as: leaving the door open when not in use, wiping down the rubber gasket and drying out the dispensing drawer after every load, avoiding liquid fabric softener, etc. A lot more high maintenance compared to a top loader, but the clothes seem to come out cleaner.

drying out the dispensing drawer after every load

Allan, that seems a bit excessive. Even on my cold fill only Miele, I don't clean the drawer out after every wash. I usually just remove the whole drawer once a month or so and wash it out in the kitchen sink.

I do wipe the seal down, but again, not after every load. I usually wait until after 3 or 4 loads before doing this.

I've had my machine for 5 years now and there's not a spec of mould or grime anywhere on it.

I've have my Kenmore He4t for about 8 years. All I do is keep the door slightly ajar and the detergent drawer open. Every so often I give the dispenser a rinse with hot water because fabric softener seems to remain even though I have had the dispenser and the mechanism that directs water to each compartment changed twice under warranty. There is no odour or mold. The last time the tech guy was out, he was surprised that there was nothing in the pump clean out when he opened it. I use both liquid and powder detergent, bleach occasionally and fabric softener.

Yeah, it's probably a bit excessive but I'm usually a bit OCD in the first few months of owning something, such a new car or new appliance. I baby it at first but then I get a bit more relaxed (or lazy, lol) as time goes by.
 
GE

Here is our GE 4.1 cubic foot washer and the matching dryer.  Both have the steam function.  We installed these in January of 2014.  Must say this washes great and the rinsing is  excellent.
