I can't believe how utterly happy I am that my washing machine just DIED! It's been having a lot of trouble over the last few months... it can't tolerate a soak (even a full tub for the rinse cycle)... even if it's set on the lowest water setting. Now it stops and stops and stops so many times in a cycle that it takes me all day to do a load or two, hours upon hours to wash my dipes!
So, we are finally getting a new machine. The one we have was bought as part of a deal; a friend of a friend was having her trailer repo'd and she sold us all her 5-10 year-old appliances (stove, microwave, washer, dryer, and fridge) for $600. It was fabulous for us newlyweds, but here we are 5 years later with a 15 year-old washer, etc.
While I would love to get one of those fancy-schmancy $1000 washers, that's out of our price range! tell me about your fabulous, reasonably-priced machine.

I'm guessing tha's not what you were looking for though. I was looking recently at new ones and I think there were two top loader choices. I ike th top loader because of CD's but I have destroyed many many zippers too and I hear the front loaders are gentler on clothes. One of the top loaders I saw was really really nice though. I think it's a Maytag Bravo (not positive about that). The agitator was much shorter than the old style and it's capacity is much greater than the front loaders. I think it was expensive though, but I've never bought a new washer before.
