My FB feed seems full of complaints of leaks, stinks, unwashed loads, etc. They look nice tho.

ah yes, the stinks. that's actually why i never considered them. er...that's why my mom and dad were like "son, you don't want a front loader." Mom's got one that she's kept clean over about 5 or 6 years, but she keeps that thing spotless, and the wash room has a constant flow of fresh air.

The front load at my last house was a cheapo stacked unit to fit into a small space. It worked flawlessly for the 8 years I was there and it was old when I moved in. The fancy, bells and whistles, top of the line front loader at my new house is a POS. I would replace it, but it won't completely die.

don't close the door fully when not in use, if you close it just until its ready to click but leave it there the air can circulate and the seal around the door doesn't get mouldy.

Front loader owner here.

Like about it: really good cleaning, capacity, easy load/unload (the tired clothing toss after a ride), flexible wash/spin settings compared to our old top loader
Live with: residue/gunk accumulation on bottom of door seal and door window (regular wipedown), noisier-than-top-loader spin with imbalanced load (seems unavoidable with towels), front loader funk (leave door open, run a Tide washer cleaner every few weeks)

Leave the front door open a couple days after doing laundry and you'll be fine. Any other complaint is inherent to the model and not the overall design of a front loading washer.

O-Rings are important. Off to the hotel.

I don't understand why top loaders don't stink. Ours had the tranny drop out a couple of years back, and I was going to fix it and later thought better of it. When I took it apart, it was full of mud/soap scum. You would never see it unless you took it apart, looked perfectly fine when assembled. The front loader we replaced it with is a little smelly, but keeping the door open works pretty well.

I'm working from home and won't have to sit in traffic for the first time in 2 weeks. I'm going to get a lot done AND have time to run to the liquor store to stock up on some holiday season beer.

I also may or may not be listening to Regulators and Keep Their Head's Ringin' on repeat while organizing the house.

Under a full-court press, my crazy neighbor played nice and signed the final document I require for my sale on Tuesday.
