I have had (the attached) Kenmore set-up for almost 4 years now and couldn't be happier. Never a problem and the stainless steel interior(s) are fantastic. I guess there are good and bad experiences with everything that we as humans purchase.

That's the one I have. Run a load and pop that lower panel. Check for leaks, as they will cost you plenty if you don't catch it early. Also check the two lower shocks. When looking for info to fix mine, I found those two problems seemed common.

Yeah, but for some of us, the septic issue is more than enough reason to go with a front loader. With 6 kids and typically 20 loads per week (with a top loader), that water usage adds up fast.

That's correct. The He4T is the Duet 9450, manufactured in Germany. We recently picked up the Duet 9450 and are completely satisfied.

Gerard -- I have that same washer and have been pleased as punch! Not only is it easy on the septic, but some summers our spring drops to a trickle so every drop counts. That Kenmore is downright stingy with water! Pete

Yep, that's the same washer we have, it works well, but I have to see how I ruined that bearing. Anyone have an exploded parts pic on that washer?

On this topic, the news today is that the Chinese may be buying Maytag as they are in trouble.

From the news desk:
The proposal comes from Bain Capital and Blackstone Group investment firms, and Haier America, the New York-based sales and marketing arm of Haier Group, which is owned by the Chinese government. The Qingdao-based company makes refrigerators, laundry machines, dishwashers and small appliances.

Haier is all over China like Sears used to be all over America. More so, actually. I hadn't known that the government owned it - that explains it.

Of course, the government over there owns at least a part of every big business, so I shouldn't be surprised. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

we were in need of new septic system (4 women 2 men in house and lots of wash)
I looked at all the options and thought the money for these washers was a good investment (saved the $12-14000.00 for new septic system) for the investment of around $1000 that was about 15 years ago and the only thing that has need replacement was bearing in tub.
