Go to the library, look at the index in the back of the current issue and you
will see a list of recent (1-3 years) articles on washing machines. Pull those
issues from the shelf and see what C.R. has to say and what they recommend.

I've haven't paid attention recently, but from past experience I'd guess that
Maytag will be highly rated but rather expensive. Whirlpool may be about half
the price of the Maytag and just as reliable. That's my guess; the magazine
will have the facts.
