Default Front loading washers - any good?

how do they get it to use so little water?


A conventional top loader fills the basket with enough water to
completely submerge the load. A front loader needs only enough water to
saturate the load. During the slow speed wash cycle, only a portion of
the load is submerged at a given time.


My daughter has an LG front-loader - about 3 yrs. old? It is so quiet,
you can hardly hear it even in the same room. It holds an amazing
amount of clothing per load. She loves it. When you turn it on, the
panel looks like a space ship - you can play Star Wars whilst you do
laundry )
