So, after getting really sick of our existing washer, especially with the fact that we could never get it clean (and the transmission was leaking oil like crazy), we bought a new washer this week.
Specifically, this:
The LG WM-2277H.
It was quite a bit more expensive than your run of the mill washer, but if it keeps us from having $130 water bills, it'll pay for itself fairly quickly, especially as it can run more per load.
Is it bad that I'm excited about a washer? It must be all the buttons and options.
Damned if I can't stop thinking that it should have an ethernet interface on it, so it can email me when it's done running. *grin*
