In response to "skirts whose sequins fall off after one washing: back to the minors. -- nm" by amanda

My condo is going from top loading washing machines to front-loaders. What do we think of this?

Pro: uses less water and energy
Con: some say the front loaders spin and twist garments too tightly, wrinkling them beyond what the dryer can dry out.

I don't think we've ever had that problem and have had front loaders for four or five years. -- nm - spamlet Jun 27, 10:40 2
- how many of your skirts have sequins on them? (I just counted mine in my head. I have *way* too many clothes.) -- nm - amanda Jun 27, 10:59 1
  - I'm all for getting rid of your excess clothing. -- nm - Max Jun 27, 11:18
Huh. I had always heard the opposite, that there's less wear on them in f-ls. -- nm - Reagen Jun 27, 10:22 2
- "some say" the somesayers are conspiracy theorist busybodies. -- nm - Max Jun 27, 10:24 1
  - I've had both kinds and never noticed much difference in quality. -- nm - Dr.Vermin is jejune and vituperative. Jun 27, 10:39
