I don't like front-loader washing machines or stackable washers and dryers. I've never owned one nor do I want to. When my daughter lived in her last apartment, it came with a stackable front-load washer and dryer. My daughter said they were a pain in the butt. There was all sorts of special stuff that had to be done to maintain them after every every wash. If you didn't do it, I think they were susceptible to mold or something. Anyhow, she hated them and couldn't wait to move out of the apartment and into a house so she could have her own side-by-side top-load washer and dryer.
