  - It's not. After 3 years of non-home ownership (in a row), you become a "first time homeowner" again. - JaxSean Jun 3, 15:24
- I read a few days ago that's been changed... whoever came up with the plan is an idiot - Stewie Jun 3, 15:14 2
  - i don't think it's a "plan" as much as a loop hole. I think it will help a lot of people, but I'm assuming some will exploit it. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 3, 15:20

- at least that's a better way to head to vacation. -- nm - b! Jun 3, 15:10

I just bought *front loading* laundry machines. I feel so decadent and wealthy. really I only spent about $150 more than I would have on top-loaders - locust street loves mandy lane Jun 3, 14:27 49
- The feature I'm dying for is the steam cycle to get out wrinkles and stuff. That's what I covet in my next washer/dryer purchase. -- nm - pmb Jun 3, 14:44 2
  - that would be nice. for now, i toss a damp washcloth in to dryer-iron. -- nm - b! Jun 3, 15:14
  - *dries* Aww man they're all wrinkled. *steams* Aww man they're all wet. *dries*... -- nm - schizo dryer Jun 3, 14:47
- hello, what color?! -- nm - kare Jun 3, 14:36
- top loaded washer. front loaded dryer. side by side. -- nm - peglegpete Jun 3, 14:34
- very very nice. they are more energy effecient electricity-wise as well, aren;t they? -- nm - Andie Jun 3, 14:34 1
  - oh, I looked at that and forget. the water usage sold me enough. when I get them tomorrow, I'll post the difference between the energy star ratings - locust street loves mandy lane Jun 3, 14:35
- Oh, I should point out ... I have stackable frontloaders ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 14:32
- I miss having a top loader. Now there's 5/6 trips of washing where before there was 2 at most. -- nm - Loyola Jun 3, 14:30
- Did you get red? -- nm - Max Jun 3, 14:30 7
  - no, white. I would have had to spend about $500 more to get red. (again, display models. I saved over $400 on them because of this.) -- nm - locust street loves mandy lane Jun 3, 14:32 6
    - oh, ignore what i said above. (spray paint!) -- nm - kare Jun 3, 14:37
    - nb - those decals for windows that peel off? work fabulously on appliances. - Andie Jun 3, 14:35 3
      - They make custom wraps for VG consoles - someone should get on this for appliances. -- nm - Reagen Jun 3, 14:37 2
        
        this is kind of genius. -- nm - Andie Jun 3, 14:43 1
        
        I wonder if there's too much variation to make them work. - Reagen Jun 3, 14:52
    - I suppose that's acceptable. -- nm - Max Jun 3, 14:32
- Jealous. When we move we'll definitely be getting new front loads. -- nm - Subversive Jun 3, 14:29 4
  - another thing I learned today is that because of the low-water usage in the washer, clothes come out of the wash cycle less wet, which saves a - locust street loves mandy lane Jun 3, 14:31 3
    - does your state have tax credits or rebates for buying energy effecient appliances - you should check! -- nm - Andie Jun 3, 14:36 1
      - even sexier! I will look into this! -- nm - locust street loves mandy lane Jun 3, 14:38
    - also, saving money like this on a huge purchase makes squishy feet almost not hurt *at all.* -- nm - locust street loves mandy lane Jun 3, 14:32
- my wife covets those. *covets*. -- nm - Reagen Jun 3, 14:29 1
  - We've got one of each. My short wife likes the front-loader. Her tall husband likes the top-loader. -- nm - David Jun 3, 14:30
- front-loaders are great -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 14:28 24
  - what's better about them? -- nm - loosiflu Jun 3, 14:29 23
    - much easier to load, much less water usage, much easier to *un*load, quieter ... -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 14:32 22
      - *Super* quiet. -- nm - kelly Jun 3, 14:35
      - They're a pain to load and unload I find. -- nm - Loyola Jun 3, 14:32 19
        
        If there's one thing I *HATED* as a kid/teen, it was leaning over the f***ing washing machine, struggling to reach the one effing sock at the bottom -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 14:34 17
        
        I guess I'm a freak. I *like* washing machine noise (soothing!) and leaning over doesn't bother me. With a front loader you'd have to squat. - loosiflu Jun 3, 14:37 12
        
        They're much more efficient, as well. -- nm - Subversive Jun 3, 14:44
        
        Put them on pedestals. -- nm - pmb Jun 3, 14:41 4
        
        Or get a regular one! :) I had a F/L in my last apartment, now that I recall, and I always had to rinse twice. Also, front loads flood the apartment. - loosiflu Jun 3, 14:43
        
        I know the costlier ones have optional pedestals. but I didn't even ask about that. I was just so pleased to have the machines. -- nm - locust street loves mandy lane Jun 3, 14:43 2
        
        I don't think you really need it. I was just offering a solution if that was viewed as a problem. -- nm - pmb Jun 3, 14:53
        
        you really don't need them. we use them. the washer is low, but really, like Bery said, you put the basket in front and just push it in. - Andie Jun 3, 14:44
        
        My laundry basket is about the same height as the bottom unit (the washer), so I basically just shovel everything in. - Beryllium Jun 3, 14:40 5

        What I do Bery is let all the washing pile up, then once a month go do a monster wash. You need alot of clothes for this though. But when I'm not in - Loyola Jun 3, 14:46 3
        
        I don't have enough clothes for this. And I think the fiancee wouldn't approve. - Beryllium Jun 3, 14:51 1
        
        Good plan. -- nm - Loyola Jun 3, 15:00
        
        I miss fluff n fold. -- nm - loosiflu Jun 3, 14:46
        
        if there's two things ... the other would be the social pressures of public school. - Beryllium Jun 3, 14:34 3
        
        MY theory on why frontloaders caught on is that they can go under a counter in a utility room, and as such, can appear to be more hidden and fit in - Loyola Jun 3, 14:39 1
        
        Yeah, my stackables are in a closet. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 14:40
        
        lol -- nm - Loyola Jun 3, 14:35
        
        we had one in the UK. I didn't really like it. -- nm - loosiflu Jun 3, 14:33
      - hmmm. low water usage machines usually means I have to rinse twice or the clothes make me itch. -- nm - loosiflu Jun 3, 14:32
