Go with the Frigidaire FL. They have a good reputation. I had a LG and got rid of it because the service is a nightmare. If you go with LG make sure service in your area is workable.

For the love of God, please, PLEASE stay away from the Maytag... Especially the Neptune! Don't do it!

Mine's a Frigidaire Affinity. 2 years old, and no problems so far. Also, be sure to use only "HE" detergents. Ordinary laundry soap will cause too much sudsing and foaming.

I've read every thread here I know about the detergents. We have a LG fridge, French door freezer on the bottom and had to have service one time on the ice maker Lg was here in two working days to fix it. Service would be no problem
Does the Frigidaire Affinity have a rusting problem?

We have the LG WM2688 & dryer on pedestals in the basement on a concrete floor with no problems.
Vibration is a factor of the floor structure.

LG makes the Harnmony top loader for GE.

I have a Frigidaire Affinity myself. I absolutely love it. Cleans really well and I got it on sale for $700, without including tax and service warranty, at best buy.

There should be no rusting problems as the metal is stainless steel.

One thing is you can under no circumstances use reg detergent in an Affinity. At least not in the model I got. It is so effiecent that reg detergent suds way too much. Heck, I only have to use half of line one in the cap of Cheer HE I'm currently using for most loads.

I have also been able to wash my king size comforters in it with no problems. One at a time of course, but the point is I still can wash them. Some of those big 4.0 cubic foot ones can't.

Your best bet is to go to different appliance websites such as Sears, Best Buy, etc. and check out specs and reviews. You can also do a web search on each machine you like by typing in the name of the machine and reviews and see what comes up. You will be able to see what other people who already have that machine think of it.

I had an older frigidair, and the only problem that I had was the struts kept breaking, but I bought it in 1999, and than the mold issue happened, but I didnt know about not using fabric softner and wiping the door seal and leaving the door opened. So for the first 6 years I was happy with it. Good Luck!

I recently bought the GLTF2940F by Frigidaire and love it. My clothes have never been cleaner, it's not too noisy and doesn't vibrate. I bought it at Sears with other appliances when they were having a 20% rebate and I also got a $50 Energy Star rebate from my electric company.

There has not been one time that I wished it had a cycle that it doesn't. But then I replaced a 12 yo TL, so anything would have been an improvement.
