Has anyone got any advice when buying a front loader washer. Has there been one you had that you really like.
I really like these features:
Energy saver/star
reduced water
can hold a king size mattress
What else do I need to look for when buying a front loader?

lol about the king size mattress.. but really the best feature is the fact that you can clean your comforters and they won't ball up.. ... the main things to look out for are what you already mentioned ..the most important thing i can think of is get a good name, deal only with a company that will stand behind their product , and remember the most expensive one is not necessarily the best one ....be sure the size is large enough to deal with now and the future....oh and also there is a special soap made called "high efficiency"..this stuff works great and is worth any price difference.

In Europe, a front loader is about all you can get.
You can get front loading washing machines that will take a king size duvet.
When finished it will also tumble dry. My friend has been using it for a year now and no problems.
Yes a lot less water and a lot less energy.
You must use the right detergent or it wont clean. A lot of suds only look good anyway. To clean properly, the clothes must be able to move around. Big drum is better.
Had mine 10 years with no problems.

I received a subscription to Consumer Reports last year as a gift. When we were in the market to buy a new washer and dryer, that months magazine just happened to have washers and dryers. We ended up with the Whirlpool Duet. They were rated very well by Consumer Reports. My advice? Check Consumer Reports, ( You can now buy an online subscription which I think is a bit more convenient). This way you don't end up paying more than you have to only to end up with an unreliable machine. One feature that I find convenient are the stands that the machines sit on. It raises them up to a level that doesn't hurt your back. If you do a lot of laundry this may be a back saver.

king sized mattress? Uh... you're WAY out of luck there, missy! lol
We have the whirlpool duet series and have been thrilled with it.
also, if you just have one of those laundry closets with bifold doors, you'll have to take the doors off because the front loaders are deeper than a top loader. If you have an actual laundry room, it should be less of a concern.

My advice is not to get a front loading washer.
Why?
Because they don't clean as well for one thing. For another, once the cycle starts, you can't open them to add an item, add more detergent or to see what's going on. Plus, if it ever leaks it's going on the floor. And it gets old real quick digging clothes out of a front loading washer.

Yes, make sure the one you want to purchase will fit in the space you have planned for it.
