Please Share Washer/Dryer Recos...

I'm looking for recomendations on which Washers and Dryers people consider best value.

Not sure of our budget yet .. but was wondering which brand and model people liked best.

Also .. for the washer .. top loader .. or front loader??? This is a silly question .. but let's say you start the wash cycle of a front loader, and it's filled with water .. how would you add something if you missed a piece of clothing and wanted it to make the cycle???

I love the Duet by Whirlpool. They are top of the line - but $$. Good question about interrupting the cycle....i have no idea!

A while back FH and I bought an Equator Washer and Dryer in one. So basically it washes and dries in the same tub. It's the best thing we've purchased for our co-op - I love it. It's a front loader and so if I forget to put something in - too late - cause the thing locks so you can't open it during the wash cycle. I would assume all front load washers do the same thing.

Thanks for the input!!

Anyone else??????

We recently got the Maytag Neptune washer (front load) and dryer. We're happy with them! The manual for the washer says that if you forgot an item, you can add it but not to wait more than 5 minutes after the cycle has started.
