I have a Whirlpool set about the same age. So far so good, one dryer
repair. I looked at the sexy new front loaders but opted for the
plain old fashioned kind because those new ones take Way Too Long to
complete the wash cycle.

Agreed. My top-loader and dryer take about the same amount of time
to cycle for all but the heaviest items. Pipelining the laundry on
the weekend works out very well.

Exactly. I generally take a load out of the dryer, add the
stuff from the washer, start a new wash, all in one trip.

Nancy, my other problem with front loaders is I don't trust a thorough wash unless it uses plenty
of water. The front loaders in the laundromats use lots of water.

Most top loaders use minimal water now too. They seem to work ok though.

One of the selling features of front loaders is that they use a lot less
water. Having a well and cistern and sometimes having to conserve as
much water as possible, that was major plus for me.
