We own dry cleaning store so I know what you are talking about. I also know that the front loading machines are much easier on the clothes than the usual agitator of the top-loading machines. I think you will be pleasantly surprised after you begin breathing again after purchasing one the expensive front loaders--I know I felt much better after the first few loads and was breathing normally after only a week!

I went into the laundry room the other day to find a front loading washer and a "two story" dryer in which the bottom part is normal and the top part looks like a closet to hang stuff in. I had told my wife to buy some new ones because the old ones were falling apart, but I didn't know they even made such expensive machines. Hell, for what paid for that dryer you should be able to drive the thing to work.

The Maytag system your wife bought is a COMPROMISE between genuine efficiency and practical *homeowner* use. Though it was PRICEY now, I do think that you and she will be happy with the overall results from her experiment.

Isn't the free market awesome?
