Default Front-load washer?

My washer went out last November and I bought an LG washer and dryer
with the stacking kit and love them.


Any idea what the cu ft capacity is? Home Depot has the 3.42' washer
for $799 and 7.0' dryer for $649. They also have the 3.72' washer for
$999 and 7.3' dryer for $799. Does that amount of extra space seem
meaningful?

I'm not sure how tight you're supposed to pack the clothes in a
front-loader, but it must take quite a bit more than an equivalent
top-loader, since there's much less water and no agitator taking up
room?

I have a front load washer. I pack it with as much clothes as I can jam in
there and it does fine. It is a different paradigm - it does not need to
have free room in there. As another poster noted, it does use less water
and I use about half the detergent.
