So many people hate on the front loaders. I can't dispute their experiences at all, but we bought a Maytag stackable front loader in 2017 when we remodeled. We had a local appliance dealer and repair shop that the owner told you exactly what you wanted. Was known to refuse to sell appliances that she didn't think would serve the customer well. Told her what we were doing with the remodel and how we lived......farm, grease, mechanic, etc. She told us this stack set was what we wanted. And her words were "if you can fit it all in there, it will get it clean". And by golly, she was right. This set has been fantastic for what we've needed, and even if we had a choice as to stack or side-by-side (we don't), I'd get another front loader based on experience with this unit we have. The next one will be a Speed Queen stack, but same reasoning.
