If you prefer top load washers check out the kenmore/whirlpool oasis model. Very low water consumption that rivals the front loaders. If you must go with a front loader check out the whirlpool duet/cabrio line.(maytags are also made by whirlpool now so check those out as well) remember, if you go with a front loader leave you door cracked and your dispenser drawer open when your finished doing wash or you will develope mold/mildew inside the machine.
