Product review (5 stars): 6 loads in a day, no problem!
When we replaced our washer and dryer units I had to work hard get what I wanted.  Exceeding my husband expectations of cost was the difficult part but it turns out the Whirlpool Duet front loader washer (GHW9150) and matching dryer (GEW9250) was a great investment.  Without being a slave to the laundry room, I can get six large loads done in a day.  Being Energy Star certified, the Duet units are extremely efficiently even with large loads.  And, the washer conserves water by automatically adjusting how much is needed for each load.

But the decision was not an easy one as some reviews about front loaders discussed concerns of mildew and extreme entanglement of clothing.  By actually read the manuals since our purchase (April 2005) we haven't had a single problem or complaint.
