Hi Esther,
Surprise, we have a Kenmore low agitation,low water model that we got in Nov 2011!
It only had 1 year warranty on it & this week, it is starting to sound like a 70 year old woman going up the stairs with grunts & groans when we wash the clothes!
No wonder Sears is going belly up!

We had a front loader--which I really liked at first--but we had lots of issues with it. Whirlpool finally replaced it for us and we bought a high-efficiency top loader instead. I like my new washer a lot better.
The Issues:
The front loader got stopped up easily, and we couldn't unstop it ourselves; the repair guy had to come out to do it. Also, if I forgot to put delicates on the "delicate" cycle, it would rip soft t-shirts or fine fabrics. (By sucking the fabric into the holes in the drum, where presumably the inside of the holes weren't completely de-burred.) Whirlpool thought this was unique to our washer, so they were discussing replacing it for that reason. The washer tore up a total of 8-10 items of clothing over the course of a year. Finally, the bearings went out in the drum so Whirlpool actually replaced it at that point. We may have gotten a lemon, because I read a lot of great reviews before I decided to buy my front loader.
Overall, I like the IDEA of a front loader, but my top loader is a lot more hassle free. It's also highly efficient and it holds a LOT of clothes at one time. It might still take longer to wash than an old machine, but it's washing the equivalent of at least a double load.
A setting that I love on the newer washers (had this on my front-loader, too) is the "sanitize" or "clean boost." GREAT for sanitizing bedding or towels after someone has been sick or just making sure the towels are super clean.
P.S. My husband did buy the extended warranties on the washer/dryer, and they have been worth their weight in gold.

If, so what kind do you have, brand, top or front loader?
I have read so many conflicting reviews I have decided to come to people I sorta know for your experiences.
Read a lot of negative reviews about front loaders growing mold.
We leave the door open for several hours after using it. Not as convenient to do that with a front loader than a top loader (the door gets in the way), but not a big deal.

we have one of the new top loaders that locks when you start it and it is designed to use less water. its awful.
gimme back my old $300 heavy water using beast.
I'm with you.
I just bit the bullet and bought the LG front loader and dryer. I hope we made the right decision.
The industry has changed a lot and not all of it for the better in my opinion.

I think you'll be happy with it. Just make SURE to be High Efficiency (HE) detergent! If you don't you'll walk into the room a half an hour after you start a load to find a couple hundred cubic feed of suds. LOL

I think you will love it. The only thing I can think of that might be considered a negative is that sometimes the washer door window is kind of wet after washing a load so we either leave it open to dry off or just wipe it off.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
