Love it. In Europe there's really no option except "horizontal axis"
washers. Don't think they're so enlightnened about the nomenclature,
though.

And I, like Etchison, have been using a Sears front loader for years
(made by White, I think) except that, unlike Etchison, I have had very
good reliability from the Sears unit, except that sucker sure can shake,
rattle and roll when the load is out of balance. Not only does it use
significantly less water than a top-loader, the resulting wash gets
clothes markedly cleaner.

Glad to see there will be some options to the now unavailable Sears
machine although the reported price for the Maytag machine sounds
daunting.
