Front Loading Which front loading washing machine do you recommend?
I am thinking of purchasing a front loading, high efficiency, washing machine and dryer. I have never used one before. I just wanted to know if anyone out there has purchased one? If so what did you buy? What is your opinion of the front loading washing machine? Is it easier then a top loading? Does it get your clothes cleaner? Do you use powered or liquid? Personally I like prefer liquid. Just looking for opinions. Please no rude answers, thank you.
We have one - it's a Frigidaire brand. I'm not sure about the specific model number, but it's a high efficiency, front loading washer. I don't know if there's anything special about the dryer we have. It's just a normal, front loading dryer. I line dry a lot of stuff to save energy.

Personally, I love the front loader. It saves a ton of water and energy. We're very conservative with our water usage. We even wash cloth diapers and use cloth towels instead of paper towels, and our water usage is way below that of our friends who don't even have kids, let alone cloth diaper. I think it's our all around conservation of water that helps. It also doesn't hurt to have a front loader.
The clothes get just as clean as they did with a top loader. I haven't had any issues with cleanliness. It's the same, in my opinion. I use a homemade powdered detergent, but I've used liquid as well. My washer has a detergent reservoir that you put the detergent in. I just put the powder in there and close it. It disperses the detergent evenly. It has a compartment for bleach and fabric softener as well. I use vinegar for fabric softening. It's cheaper and doesn't leave buildup.
You also use less detergent for a front loader. I use half the recommended amount.

Ways of getting rid of musty/moldy smell from front loading washing machine?
I have seen products on the shelves of my local stores to clean front loading machines, but I was wondering if there was a 'home remedy' to the problem?? Thanks.
First open the door and reach your hand way into the rubber door seal at the bottom and run your hand around.You can also grab the seal and pull it up , sort of inside out to check it for mold and slime. Clean this thoroughly with a bleach water solution. Then check the filter it is located either in a round cover at the bottom of the washer or inside the bottom cover, depends on the model. The filter may be clogged up retaining some water. After all is clean then run a cycle with a cup of white vinegar thru with no clothing. To prevent the seal from getting moldy the best solution is to leave the door open a little bit after using so the excess water evaporates. You can also wipe out the seal with a hand towel after each use. Try this link for acessing the filter.
