K...I need advice...I have two washing machines that I'm looking into...I like them both for different reasons, and see some cons for both for different reasons but would love some advice from you all on which one you think is better...
Both are energy efficent. And both hold just about the same amount of clothes. Both also tend to have similar reviews on multiple websites. Most people like both, but of course, there are a few who don't like the one they've purchased.
One is from a company called Fisher Paykel and they are a New Zeland company that is new to America. Their washer is a top loader, which is what I originally wanted when I was looking for a washer. Yet, it works just like a front loader, measuring the amount of water. It also spins clothes at 1000 rpm, which makes them dryer to put in the dryer, so less time will be needed in that department. This washer does have less parts to it though, so there's a lesser opportunity that it could break. What turns me off on this one is the plastic lid and the off brand name. It also looks a tad bit cheaper.
The second one is an Amana. This washer is a front loader and looks very slick. It has some features that were nice, like it would warm the water temperature to the exact right degree to clean the clothes right. This one also measures the right amount of water that's needed for the amount of clothes in the washer. It also mixes the soap properly, so the clothes will come out cleaner. The cons for me on this though is that it was a front loader, I'm not sure I'd like bending over all the time to get the laundry out..I'd also heard that some take a different kind of laundry detergent as well and can get a moldy smell.
The are both close to the same price, although I just found one of them for $50 cheaper...but really, I'd rather buy the one that was the best one for the money.
So, I would like your all's opinon. I have included links to a website that has a review of both from an "expert." (Who knows who their experts are...:lol: )
I would really like some opinions though, as I'm totally going back and forth on both of them. At one point I'll think the one is better than the other, then I'll go back to thinking that the other one is better. I need an outsider's ideas. Thanks for the help!! :wave:
