Those front loading washing machines are not new. My mother had one in
the 50's made by Westinghouse. It washed and cleaned fine. But still
had to hang clothes out on the line to dry. Used more than gal. of
water.

Drawback of those machines in my opinion is if you forget to put
something in the washer. Don't open while in wash cycle or you will have
a flood in your house.

I'll stick with my Whirlpool washer and dryer I have had for over 20
years.
