Do you guys complain about top loading washing machines when both top and front loading washers are available in the US and in Canada. If you prefer a front loader than buy that one instead of the top loader. But then again, if you didn't buy the front loader, it gives you one more thing to complain and as a Brit explained to me, complaining is what makes Brits happy.

My mum used to hate my gran's "old" top loader and has sworn by her front loader for over 25 years.... recently she visited me in Canada and remarked how much she liked the top loading machine, figure that one out.....

Wow, great post. I can see why they made you a moderator.

I opened this thread expecting it to be about bras.

"Super moderator" please.

Have I missed the great 'Why Canadian washing machines are third world debate?' We have a top loader which we plan to switch for a front loader, only because a front loader is more water efficient. So if anyone in Newfoundland wants to buy a 3 year old toploader lightly used, let me know!

Why are foreigners always complaining about Brits complaining?

Right on cue.

In my yuf I found front-loaders way easier for single handed operation than back-loaders.

I've never come across a top-loading bra <could probably have put that better>.

But bras were made of wood in your day

What's a washing machine.....?

Mr. Xpat, did you see my blower on the vehicles thread?

(Apologies for this off topic post but apparently I know nothing about washing machines, I've recently been told that they have settings other than the on/off I've used for years).

I'm not that old. I just look it and feel it.

Ours has a multitude of different programs and settings and needless to say we only ever use one, don't know why they have so many choices.

I think you need the different programs if you sort the clothes though why you'd want to order clothes according to location or year of purchase is a bit lost on me.

not sure how, but it was disguised in this thread...and it was probably my fault Wont happen again

My practical knowledge of operation is based solely on knowing how to defeat the energy saving features in order to get scalding hot water to wash the stinky diapers in. 30° may work for regular dirt, but is in no way effective against zinc based arse cream.
