I bought a front load Amana about 6 months ago. I didn't care how less water it used or less electricity as I bought it cause it was on sale. I hated our top load washer cause every time it was on spin cycle it walked all over the floor no matter how full it was or wasn't. Have no complaints at all on the front load one. It cleans as well as the top load. If I had a complaint at all its having to bend over to get the clothes in and out of it but no big deal cause I just throw em over in the dryer anyway in same bend.
It is recommended to always leave the door open a little otherwise it will start smelling (they say its from water sitting in the door gasket lip or not draining completely out of the tub). I didn't leave door open for first 3 months and never noticed it smelling though or any grunge slime in that door gasket lip but we use it every couple days usually so it never sits with stagnant water in it over time to start smelling.
