T.F.
I had a front load Maytag over 10 yrs that did a good job cleaning clothes.
I recently replaced it with the Samsung front loader 3.9 cubic feet with steam option and I love it.
Our clothes are clean, no odors, and the drying time is cut in half. No issue with mold either.
I love my new Samsung set. I wouldn't purchase Maytag again as their products have lapsed in quality. I love my new set and couldn't be happier!!
I don't know anything about top loaders
