we got a ge profile harmony top loader a few weeks ago....its not a front loader, but it has all the benefits of a front loader w/ the added capacity of the top loader. doesn't have an agitator which means it holds more...put my big ass king comforter in it no probs...never had a washer i could do that with prior. it uses the small amounts of water like the front loaders though, so that's a good thing, and best of all, its direct drive, so no belts to wear out!
got it at home depot for 1k retail, they had 10% off that weekend w/ coupon, then rebate for buying more than 1 profile appliance for 100, then 50 from the local energy co for buying an energy star appliance, so for 750 final cost, couldn't say no!
