Do a google search for best front loaders,tons of info both pro and con. Interesting how Maytag was the Gold Standard until Whillpool/Amana screwed up a great product.

LG has gone from junk to one of the top performers both money wise and lifespan. We had a Bosch,loved it never a problem in twenty years until the computer Board crooked. Replacement board with install labor was more than a new one. Got a top loader with agitator instead. With the Trump Tariffs,and zero availability,we took a rain check.
