The Maytag Neptune in particular was awful, and the parts are more expensive due to the direct drive motor and circuitry...Todays front loader is better than the first release<br /><br />The difference in energy, water useage and capacity is compelling. Average front loader is almost twice bigger yet using less than half the energy and a third of the water....Also it spins out at 3 times the rate of a top, so it dries much faster as wellSteve Sheinkopfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01172393469952805657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33963709.post-55957385479389167662011-02-22T10:50:57.545-05:002011-02-22T10:50:57.545-05:00You also have to add in the price of replacement c...You also have to add in the price of replacement cost, and repair costs. Front-loading machines have a less than stellar track record on repairs(with maybe one or two exceptions), where as top loaders, with a few exceptions (namely more recent models) have had excellent track records. If you take a washing machine that has needed MAYBE $200 in parts over 35-40 years...you haven't replaced your set 4-5 times. And...though it may use more water, that's 4-5 washers not in a landfill, and that much cost for packaging, and shipping, etc., that doesn't get used. Water isn't the only environmental impact.Preservationistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11328397691757864133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33963709.post-30364285696275234372008-01-31T20:50:00.000-05:002008-01-31T20:50:00.000-05:00Jo: I am out of town...unforunately..Could be inte...Jo: I am out of town...unforunately..Could be interestingSteve Sheinkopfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01172393469952805657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33963709.post-22489306661444030982008-01-31T20:40:00.000-05:002008-01-31T20:40:00.000-05:00Ji: An extended warranty from a company without te...Ji: An extended warranty from a company without techical support, I would not expect a great service experience...If you have problems, send me an email<BR/><BR/>Erika: I will blog about repair records shortly...Steve Sheinkopfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01172393469952805657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33963709.post-27171289002570693002008-01-31T19:44:00.000-05:002008-01-31T19:44:00.000-05:00Steve,Any thoughts on the Boston Going Green Expo ...Steve,<BR/>Any thoughts on the Boston Going Green Expo this weekend at the Bayside Expo Center?

I...Please Steve, do tell - is LG not so wonderful? I've had my LG washer for 2 years and the only problem has been odd error codes requiring the machine to be unplugged for a few minutes. My 4 month old LG dryer is another story. It just had a major repair. Three days for the repairman, 7 days for the part to arrive, and 3 more days to get the part installed.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14417588709544477723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33963709.post-80634091027420418882008-01-31T10:30:00.000-05:002008-01-31T10:30:00.000-05:00LG may not be the right brand for such a commercia...LG may not be the right brand for such a commercial....Steve Sheinkopfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01172393469952805657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33963709.post-14229676927268932642008-01-31T10:08:00.000-05:002008-01-31T10:08:00.000-05:00fantastic news! i'm forwarding to my husband now! ...fantastic news! i'm forwarding to my husband now! have you seen that hilarious LG commercial where the girl is trying to kill her top loading washing machine? it is hilarious. <BR/>PS: your post will be live tomorrow!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
