We don't have the pedestal for it so I just have to bend over farther to get the laundry out - big deal. We haven't had any problem with it 'walking' on our floors. We've had it in several different homes and on wood surfaces, though first floor only, and it's done very well. For me, when we make a large purchase in an appliance, I want some sound advice and peace of mind. Where I've gotten that is ConsumerReports.org for only $5.95 per month. I count it well worth that cost when I've been able to see all the testing done on available brands and models, and I can ask questions on forums that are specifically for... whatever it is (washers, dryers, etc.)that I'm looking to buy. Best wishes on the purchases, probably already made!Hannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08475094746943087789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070730304128292781.post-14270649180077090032009-07-16T22:34:20.568-04:002009-07-16T22:34:20.568-04:00Hi Francis,

My advice on washer & dryer is the same as your parents - buy well. But I would caution on buying front load washer if it's to be put on a second floor laundry room or non-concrete foundation. Frontloaders have a high spin vibration that can shake the floors and walls if they are not level set on concrete. We made the mistake with our home and ended up after the washer kept walking (knocking) across the floor trading it in for a high efficiency top loader. Top loaders use a bit more water (but not bad if you get a HE one), but if your going to have your washer on a second floor laundry room, then the piece of mind of is worth it. I have a Whirpool Bravos set with glass top so I can see in & love it<br /><br />Good luck with your big purchaseHeleneBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02511061656239083194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070730304128292781.post-14681321027809108932009-07-16T15:40:54.851-04:002009-07-16T15:40:54.851-04:00Woot!

I love them so much!!! They have served me very well! Cloth diapers are a cinch in them and even with the extra washings and rinses I do believe I have seen savings in our water bill. call if you have more questions!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11804297412395868038noreply@blogger.com
