If looks count...
The Frigidaire Affinity in metallic slate blue; the older Kitchenaid Duet clone in dark metallic gray/platinum (kind of Rolls-Roycey), the Samsung whateveritis in brilliant metallic dark red, Whirlpool Cabrio HE in metallic gray (I think) and clear, untinted window lid. And, even though the pricing is repulsive, the stainless steel flat front trophy laundry room Kitchenaids with Duet HT guts.
Let's face it folks, in terms of washer styling, we've entered into another Golden Age, similar to that of the late 50's/early 60's. Unfortunately all the money is going into HE washers, and then mostly front loaders, but still - they've stopped being boring white (or bisque or black) commodities and have regained some measure of glamour.
Style thumbs down to (and this is only my opinion): the square door Frigidaire Affinity washers, the toilet seat Bosch Nexxt, those weird overly rounded last gasp solid door Maytag Neptunes, F&P's with those slanted plastic full width lids (who said you're not supposed to use the washer top for storage???), and the Kenmore HE/HT5's in that blaring orange "Sedona". Sorry if I dinged one you own or one of your favorites... just my personal opinion.
