HE top loader. Love it? Hate it?
Our new house has one. I hated my HE front loader so I just want to keep my conventional top loader but dh wants me to try the HE that is there, but he doesn't ever do laundry, I do all the laundry!

Re: HE top loader. Love it? Hate it?
We just switched to a HE top loader a few months ago. I think it does just fine. I think that the conventional works better in some ways - I feel like sometimes they work better for getting stains out and such, but I have figured out to adjust the wash settings if I have a particularly soiled load. I do like the HE top loader for other things, like washing giant stuffed animals We got a large capacity one since we have a large family. Since there is no center agitator, I can get the giant stuffed animals washed, no problem Also, since we have a larger capacity one, I get more laundry done in a shorter amount of time. That's pretty awesome!

Re: HE top loader. Love it? Hate it?
We had one for years and I loved it. It did a good job on getting the washing clean and was gentle on clothes. (Fisher and Paykel).
Unfortunately it washed its last a couple of years ago. We were given another one (a different brand that I would not have chosen myself - LG). I don't like it at all. I can't seem to get the washing clean and it often chews clothes. That being said, I would happily buy one again, just not this brand. (I included the brand names, but I do not know if they are in the US or not.)

Re: HE top loader. Love it? Hate it?
So it's in there now and belongs to you? What would you do with it if you removed it to install yours?
I'd definitely leave it in and try it out. Then if you hate it you can always remove it then and install your current machine. I wouldn't get rid of your current one before you get a chance to try out the existing one.

Re: HE top loader. Love it? Hate it?
I like my OLD, old, old washer. I've heard of lots of problems with the new ones.

Re: HE top loader. Love it? Hate it?
Do you have room in the garage to store your old one while you try this one out for a bit? Does the HE have the option for using extra water? I've done some reading on them (we will probably replace in the next year or two) and that seems to be a popular feature for extra soiled loads.

Re: HE top loader. Love it? Hate it?
My HE washer has a setting called "deep water wash". That's what I use when I have a more heavily soiled load.
