Product review (1 stars): amana 7200 w/d set
I purchased an amana frontload washer/dryer set(model 7200)about 15 months ago and am not happy with performance. The washer will not allow you to do a  "normal" load with cold water. If you want cold water, you need the hand wash option with is slow spin. For some heavy items (like a quilt or something) I would like cold for color save, but need the water spun out to dry. The dryer was limited too. Need to be careful to only include items of the same weight or will end when that one item is dry; leaving a damp to wet load. Could set time dry, but several extra steps just to dry a load of laundry.  Pain! Then it got worse!! Three weeks ago I had to replace the heating element in the dryer. Cost 2/3 of the new price. Yesterday, the washer door lock went out. Will also cost about the same to repair. I have purchased garage sale units that lasted longer! They say that appliances don't last as long as they used to because of envrionmently demands, but less than two years? wtf??
