We've had a Maytag Neptune front loader for about seven years and I LOVE it. We have six children so you can imagine how much laundry I do on a daily basis. I have never used any special detergent in this washer. You just don't need as much detergent so that's a money-saver, too. It will wash a MUCH larger load of laundry and our king size comforter comes out great. Less energy is used and much less water is used for a load. The clothes, in turn, take less time to dry because the washer spins those clothes as such a high rpm that there's not that much drying time required. Less lint in the dryer lint trap, too, so the washer isn't beating the clothes to death. They last longer because of that. Can you tell I love my front loader?!  |

Thanks for the "sense of community". Next time, I'll keep my mouth shut and keep it to myself.
Thanks, we'd appreciate it.... |

wasteland said:Do you know if you have to use special soaps with this washer? Or have the manufacturers stopped insisting that's necessary. I use some hippie stuff from the health food store which I really like, but they don't make a "High Efficiency" version it.
Sounds like a good deal if that's not an issue.
Most manufacturers recomend the "HE", but I use regular tide if I can't find the HE. Only thing is you use just 1/4 of the regular stuff as you would for a normal load. But I have also just put a little baking soda in the wash instead of detergent and was impressed by the wash. I am alergic to most detergents. |

The only brand you don't want to use anything but HE in is the Sears models. I have know a few people on other forums that voided their warranty by saying the used the regular stuff. |

One guy told me when he switched from a top load to a front he saved $100 a month on his elect bill. He had an elect hot water heater so the savings were big. Plus the cloths spin out much better in a front load so you save on the drier $$$ too. A top load can use 50 gal of water per load...a front load 16-20 gal. The savings add up quick plus the cloths come out cleaner and the load size is bigger. Its a win win deal.
Thanks OP...and around here you cant be so thin skinned  |

Great post OP! I was just looking at this today b/c there's an online 10% coupon for the HD.
Hey, this might be farfetched, but does anyone know if HD accepts competitors GCs?? I have a Sears GC that might be better spent on these... |

when I was on my quest for FL (front loading) washer/dryer, I did a lot of research but info on washers and dryers, less alone reviews are hard to come by. but I found this website that has a lot of reviews on different dryer/washer, check them out: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/laundry/
Personally I went with the Siemens (Bosch) washer/dryer because BB was running a $150 GC promo and I picked up the set as open box and saved me ~$600 plus 2 years 0% financing. check out your local BB for open box items!

Holy smokes! I've been looking for a good deal on front-load washer and dryers for a while but haven't found anything good...until today. I was looking at the Sunday HD ad and saw the $799 LG washer too. However, the higher end model (WM2277HW) has a ton of good reviews (see here) while the $799 model seems a little iffy (review here). There's also the WM2077C (for $999) which has one very good review (here). It looks and has the same features as the WM2277HW but is $100 cheaper (comparison of all LG washers HD carries).
I've decided to sprint for the higher-end WM-2277HW ($1099 at HD and most places but there's a place that has it for $918.43. However, that place charges $150 S&H) price lookup or the WM2077C since it's identical but $100 cheaper(still can't find out what the difference is). I'm also going to have to buy a dryer (but it's not as important) so it will be the $649 LG DLE2514E Dryer...or maybe just a cheap, stackable dryer from another brand for less than $400 since there is no incentive to buy both at the same time from HD.
In addition to the info. conveyed in OP's post, there's a 10% coupon online (coupon code "29M") as well as a printable coupon for 10% ( here. I've already signed up for the 10% printable coupon but I wanted to use the 10% online coupon code but didn't see where you can enter the coupon code (can anyone help here?).
So the deal will be 10% off + dollar off GC. For me, buying $1099 - 10% + $100 GC will make the washer cost about $900 + tax. Delivery charge is refunded via MIR so that doesn't towards cost (but it does help u get that $100 GC heheh).
Finding a stackable dryer for less than $400 elsewhere is easy. LG also has washer/dryer combo too but HD doesn't carry 'em plus they don't seem too good according to this review.
Anyhow, please add to the thread because I need to find as much info. about this deal as well as any other front-load washer or dryer deals...that and I have some time before my 10% printable coupon arrives 
EDIT: Apparently the online promotional code (29M) does not apply to any washers at HD. Don't know why but I will call HD tomorrow about it.
Also, can you please elaborate on the Lowes discount OP? |

Thanks OP. This is a good deal.
Those trying to justify the extra cost of these machines should also consider that home energy costs are expected to increase 70% or more in the near future due to rising fuel costs and Katrina. Therefore, if someone saved $100 per month as mentioned in a previous post, they would be saving $170 per month in the near future.

I was waiting for someone to mention that!!!!
ETA: Enterkey, just sign up at a couple of the places on Dealpass, or in this case, three different places, and for the initial 1500 outlay as outlined in the Op's deal, he'd save almost 300 more in addition to his awesome deal.

Good choice passivex. I bought this from BB 5 months ago when there were coupons floating around. I bought using many gift cards bought from eBay (worked out #1300 after rebates/coupons). I would definetely recommend this model. |

I think the 2277 adds a water heater, 100rpm, and roller jets over the 2077 |

Thanks...it also adds porcelain top for durability and brushed metal door rim. The main reason why you should spend another $100 is the Rollerjets feature (more info. on all LG washers/dryers features).
I'm sticking with the 2277. Also, I read in another forum that you can get the 10% off coupon faxed to you if you call your local store and complain about not wanting to wait for the snail mail version. I'm going to do that tomorrow.
I just did my third wash at the coin laundry (since my old washer started leaking water) and I cannot wait until I get my new washer. My old dryer is fine too but it's a little too inefficient...but I guess I can live with it if the LG washer dries clothes as well as other people are saying. |

So my question is, will the WM1814 or the 2277 wash a king size comforter? I hate going to laundry mats to get those clean. And I know my top load will fit one, but do to the fact it never gets completly covered with water I never have faith that its clean. I am looking for a washing machine that WILL give me the faith I need that they are clean. Anyone with exp? |

Just bought a Kenmore washer (3T, 3.8cft) and gas dryer (4, 7 cft) from Sears that will be delivered on this Wednesday. I paid appx. $1800 for both washer and driver and 3 years warranty with 15% of last week sales PM to Great indoors, $50 coupon and deal pass gift cards.
Is Kenmore any good compared to LG? my wife likes the look of Kenmore and the push buttons.
Please advise, |
