Washing Machine Advice ($600 or less)...

Unless you're sold on a front-loader, get a Kenmore 90 series with automatic temperature control. Shouldn't be more than $450. Usually rated very high in Consumer Reports.

I had a repair man tell me recently all washers are made the same and have the same main parts to them no matter what brand. He said buy what options you want for the best price, all brands are the same washer.

Send me a PM. I generally charge $495 for washing machine advice, but I am running a special between now and Father's Day for the low, low price of $395.

Are you sure that there wasn't something wrong with the machine? I have never seen a clothes washer that didn't at least have cold, hot and warm settings.

I would recommend a front load washer. They are more money, but they do a much better jobn of cleaning with less detergent, and they also get your clothes much dryer than top load washers. I have a front load Kenmore that must be 7 or 8 years old and I have been very pleased so far.

Have to totally agree. Purchased front load Frigidiare from Sears about 9 years ago. FANTASTIC! Less soap, less water, clothes not beat the Hades and back, less drying time, the more you stuff it the better it does! Got both for less than $800 combined.
