Tow families we know that bought front end load washers HATE THEM! Said they don’t get the clothes as clean as the top loaders they previously owned .

I've had a GE front load for 4 years now. I LOVE IT. Water use went down 25%, clothes are cleaner with much less abuse, and it is much quieter than the old top load. As to the mildew problem, you are supposed to run it empty with just bleach once a month. You are also supposed to leave the door open to let it air out. I have not had any issues with mildew.

- I do NOT work for GE.
