What brand new Top Loader Washer do you recommend?

Just a suggestion.....

If you can, SHAKE the sheets outside first, don’t put them in any washing machine full of solid fecal matter. In fact I’d dare to say that if you did shake them outside before washing them, I am assuming in HOT water, that you’d be able to use any brand washing machine you’d like, front or top load.

Whirlpool manufactured Kenmore washers from the late 1940s forward, still does produce some of the models.  Other brands in the Whirlpool production family past and present include Roper, Estate, Inglis, KitchenAid, Maytag, Admiral, Amana, and Crosley.  Maybe some others.  They also produced a GE stacked set.

I’d keep that Kenmore direct drive washer and would avoid all the newer machines at all costs. I really find it interesting how people get rid of perfectly working appliances then start kvetching when their new appliances don’t work nearly as well as their old ones did.

I like birds

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">I really have to admire you for taking care of such large and beautiful birds. It's a lot of work I'm sure. Most people think you just put a parrot in a cage, give it seed and water, and everything's fine. Parrots are social animals and require attention. Quality parrot food is expensive, and parrots require far more than what you buy in a sack. Certain fresh fruits are an example. Parrots can be a life-long responsibility since in many cases they outlive their owners. Thanks for sharing the photos.</span>

Top Load Washers....

I have a newer GE washer, model GTW460ASJWW. Its two years old and I've never had a problem with the way it washes. It runs like the day I brought it home. Knock on Wood lol

Thank you mtn1584

Thanks for the suggestion, I do shake all the sheets off onto the floor to remove wood chips and food before putting them into the washer. The Kenmore I am using actually emulsifies ALL of the dried poop, it is an incredible machine! The timer stopped working 23 days ago, and the spin cycle is no longer functional, so waiting for a repair now. I guess I need to start buying new replacement parts now and keep them for emergency repairs, not having the washer has been very stressful with all the daily laundry!

Thank you twintubdexter!

I have spent most of my life traveling all over the planet, but in 2015 I decided to adopt my first Greenwing Macaw, now I also have a Harligold, a Harlequin, and a Military Macaw. With 4 Macaws, the laundry never stops1 Having the time and home required to give them the freedom and life they deserve has really been an adventure for all of us! I am single with no human children, so my life completely revolves around them. Thank you for the kind words!

My Suggestion

As for a brand-new washer, I recommend the Maytag MVWP575GW TL washer. For one, it has a Dual-Action agitation and it can use a full tub of water.
