I also found that it was important to move the clothes from the washer to the dryer, no letting clothes sit overnight or for an afternoon before putting them in the dryer. I found this to be the case in both the Maytag and Samsung machines but not as bad in the Samsung as the Maytag. Pretty quickly, I realized that we had to keep the door of the washing machine open anytime it wasn’t in use to keep the smell out of the washing machine and out of our clothes. I loved how easy it was to move the clothes from the washer to the dryer and how symmetrical it looked in the laundry room.
We’ve had 3 top load washers in other houses, so when we moved in to this house 11 years ago, I was SO excited to get a front load washing machine.
Most CAN be repaired, but it’s more cost effective to replace than repair in some cases, unfortunately. In speaking with repair people, the average lifespan of a washer and/or dryer is about 7 years. Hopefully that answers any questions regarding why we have had three sets of washers and dryers in 11 years. In case you’re wondering, we chose and purchased this set, nothing about this post is sponsored. The Samsung set washer was donated but the dryer was broken and had already been repaired two times and this last repair would have been more expensive to repair than replace which is why we decided to look for a new set. That set was donated to a family that needed it. But….each one has some pros and cons and that’s what I want to share with you today and I don’t think I’ll ever go back to a front load again.Īs far as ‘shelf-life’ of washers and dryers, the Maytag Duet was replaced by the Samsung set that I tested here for the site. I can honestly say that I enjoyed each set, have recommended them wholeheartedly, and they have served our laundry needs well over the years.
Ready?įirst of all, we have owned three different sets of washers and dryers in this house – the Maytag Duet front load (2009-2016), the Samsung AddWash front load (2016-2020) and now, the LG TurboWash 3D Top Load. So today I bring you my tell-all on the pros and cons of front versus top loaders and subsequent tale of what I learned doing thousands of loads of laundry over the years in these machines. When readers noticed this change, I received many requests for why I chose to go back to a top load machine and the pros and cons of these two machines. I recently switched to a top load washing machine after having two different front load washing machines for 11+ years. JWhy We Switched to a Top Load Washing Machine
