Oh, I also can't find powdered detergent in the stores, next one that sells charlie's is over an hour away. so i order it online, usually from the coth diaper stores (bit cheaper than directly from them)

The washers without the middle agitator's do a better job cleaning and do almost no damage to clothes/diapers. I was interning at Whirlpool when they were developing theirs and they were washing wedding dresses in it multiple times and they came out looking perfect, not a sequin missing It is definitely what I am getting when I get a new washer, just the money you save on clothes wear alone is well, well worth it and the way it cleans is superior to traditional washer.

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!

I can't brag enough about this wonderful (but expensive) washer & dryer. It was a bit at first to figure out the whole diaper washing routine but now it works like a charm and we even have super hard water. If you want more specific info about the washer or my washing routine just pm me.

I washed dipes for 6 year in a front-loader. Just the base model Fridgidair that was the first one widely available in the US.

NO problems:

I generally did a hot presoak with soap (the machine fills, tosses the stuff, and then sits. Then started it on a heavy soil load with extra rinse. When that was done I ran an extra short wash cycle with no soap and a high-speed spinout. My dipes came out great, and they all lasted 6 years and I"m still using the prefolds as cleaning cloths.
