It looks like I'll be buying a new washing machine soon.

I suppose it is better to burn the clothes, since that rotten corpse smell is so hard to get out...

LOL
Im so ashamed

The one I have I have owned since college (10 years ago) and I bought second hand so it is pretty old. The repair man said that the bearings are going out on it and it would be $200-$300 to fix it so at that price I think I'll just be buying a new one. On the upside I've seen some front loader washer and driers in the $500-$700 range (each) so it's probably a good time to buy. Does anyone have any suggestions about which brands are good or what features to make sure I get?

It's always sad when you have to take an old washer out to the backyard and shoot it. What are you going to tell the kids?

Dinner time?

So that Oerdin won't be mislead by DaShi into passing up the opportunity of a lifetime...

Man, that was a front loader too. Those are more expensive then the old style top loaders. I bet that kid got his ass whooped but good when his parents came home and found out he'd destroyed a $700-$1000 washing machine.

Edit: rewatching it he looks older so I guess his wife will be kicking his ass instead of his parents.

Bosch

Siemens but too bloody expensive

We have a Bauknecht. 5 years and no problem...

IIRC from my last washing machine purchase, Whirlpool were more highly regarded than Maytag by the guys at Home Depot and Lowes. I looked and (no surprise) we have a Whirlpool.

Wow Oerdin, is thre no end to the excitement in your rock and roll lifestyle?

I bought a BOSCH washing machine, it's been working great. It was among the more expensive bunch among those we were looking at, and the store was offering 30 installments, which meant the monthly payment turned out to be less than what we spent at the laundry, even taking soap and softener into account.

[Traianvs]

Doesn't strike me as strange, since a public laundry service costs a ****load of money. I reckon any washing machine is cheaper than that

Over here, the difference isn't that big generally, especially in more residential neighbourhoods. Where I live, there's a lot of commerce, offices & hotels.
