I totally agree. We bought a front load washing machine which was a CR
"best buy" or something like that. *The machine broke after not that
many years of ownership. *When I googled the make and model to see
what the repair might be like, I found TONS of angry comments from
others who relied on CR only to make a junk washing machine purchase.
We bought it when the kids were smaller and we were always washing
spit up / poopy clothes etc. *We thought we'd save on hot water usage,
but we're back to using a top loader now.

after that experience i resigned myself to never use CR again and just
buy a cheap (not the absolute cheapest tho) appliance and plan on
replacing it in a few years. *If it lasts longer than expected, even
better.


And lets give Motor Trend a round of applause too. Their judgment
lapses started when the chose the 1973 Chevrolet Vega and their Car of
the Year!!!
