Kenmore Washer - Front Load HE2 Plus —
The Kenmore Front Load HE2 Plus washer saves money because of it's extra large capacity, and low water usage. I wash fewer loads and heat less water. I use less soap as well. We have the matching dryer, too, and had it coverted to accept propane. I can see my savings very graphically. I used to buy propane every six months. Now I can go a year between fill-ups! Since the dryer and water heater are the only things that use propane, the answer is obvious!It saves time because I can add the bleach, detergent, and fabric softener all at the beginning. And wtih fewer loads, I don't have to wash every day anymore!My only complaint is that the seal has mildewed. It smells when I open the machine. I clean it once a week with Tilex, but it always returns. But, for the time and money I'm saving, I'll deal with that hassle.
