Since getting our new kenmore toploader (and no name detergent) we have seen a dramatic difference too! |

We still have a lot of good players, I think a lot rests on Joe Coles creative abilities now and how they can get structure the team to get him involved. |

Re: Waving the flag for England
What a "diverse" thread this turned into! FWIW my shirt shipped today. I wonder if they have reduced all the "9 Rooney" ones yet, or will they become collectors items like George VIII coronation memorabilia.
See...back on topic:) |

We live in the country and get our water from the well. I couldnt care less about water consumption. The top loader we got was Energy Star compliant, and is like night and day compared to old ones in terms of agitation. Each to there own, but in my opinion front loaders put a huge strain on the bearings due to the cantilevered load. They are also a lot more dependent on the seals around the door to keep your floor dry. Every one that I have known to fail failed in the same way, and they dont seem to last nearly as long as top loaders where the load is evenly distributed on the main bearing. I think the main advantage is in Europe where space can be at a premium and a front loader can be tucked under the counter in the Kitchen. Mainly though the choice came down to ease of loading for us. |
