Beautiful, but sensitive.

Kenmore Elite HE 5T Front Load Washer — 

I purchased my washer about a year ago.  It's absolutely beautiful, got the champagne color one.  It does a fantastic job handling a variety of different fabrics.  Have no problem throwing delicates or hand wash items in it. The only issue I had with it is the big rubber ring around the opening.  I have young boys who leave things in pockets of their clothes that I didn't know existed, as well as tiny little socks. These items got caught up inside this ring and caused it to rip, in return flooding my laundry room... and then an expensive repair job (the part was over $150 to replace). So I would recommend this washer, but I would warn to check the rubber ring and make sure you empty your pockets!

Suggestion: Buy a few zippered large lingerie/sweater washing bags and put the tiny socks in there too. I had a tiny washcloth that the babysitter didn't realize had gotten stuck in the ring a year or two ago...gross and moldy I finally figured it out and had to run the sanitize wash and bleach it like two times!!

Excellent review ! I'm sorry for your trouble and expense, though :( I've read of leak troubles and others about the front loaders... whenever my 21yr old Maytag gives up the ghost, I'll probably seek another top load machine, with the benefits of the fronts :)
Thanks, Casey !
