MAYTAG. I have front loader with water heater on board. I've had it about 4 yrs and it is FANTASTIC. NO problems whatsoever. It holds a lot, even my king comforter that I wash often.

Same goes for the dryer. I have the MAYTAG that matches my washer. I know Maytag has some newer fancier models now.

When I purchased my set, it was the top of the line without electronic control board. I am not into the electronic control boards due to past experience with them.

It was expensive but well worth it. I would buy the same washer and dryer again.

Good luck!

Check Consumer Reports. They have lots of info on all appliances.

i'm not sure which set my girlfriend has but she has 4 kids and bought i believe whirlpool and bought the most expensive top of the line she could get and they have been having problems right and left. the mechanics all tell her that the technology and training for front loaders has not caught up in the U.S. yet.
i just bought the kenmore oasis canyon capacity. it's a top loader but doesn't have an agitator in the middle so it's just like a front loader only at the top. it only uses the HE detergent but you have to use very little. also i can fit my king size comforter in it to wash! i've had it for a couple months now and i have never in my life loved doing laundry till i had this washer!!! the dryer i have is a kenmore but it's not the matching one. i love it but i'm kind of wishing i would've got the matching one cause i think it had more room inside of it. oh well maybe next time! i would definately listen to the other lady that wrote to look at the consumer guides. they do extensive testing so they would have great advice. good luck!!!

Go to Conn's Clearance center... I purchase a new LG RED FRont loader washer and matching dryer for 1600.00 Total which is cheap.. The only thing wrong with it was it had a scratch! I didn't care who goes into my laundry room anyway.... Only me!! LOL!!

Also here a picture of it..

My sister got the HE Whirlpool and likes it. It needs special detergent but has great capacity (king size comforter.) The spin cycle is really fast so the floor needs to be very level and tile may be an issue I heard (so check that out.) It does save a lot of water though.

We are in the same boat. I didn't look at the request before I sent mine. Hope we can find a great deal. They are so expensive. Good Luck!!
