Two things:
First, I have a front load washer, and I HATE it. I have a Kenmore. I cannot say enough bad things about this washer. I have had it worked on 5 times in less than two years.
1. Something always gets stuck in the pump, and it breaks. Fortunately we bought the extra fix-it insurance. I know you are supposed to always check the pockets and stuff, but I have six kids, four of whom do laundry for me sometimes. The last time a velcro nursing pad got stuck in there.

The fix it guy asked me what it was.

2. It always smells bad even when I leave the door open and keep a towel to try to dry up all the water that collects in it.
3. It mildews if I do not leave the door open.
4. I feel like my clothes never really get clean.
5. You are supposed to buy extra expensive laundry detergent.
6. I have to clean the thing about once a week because it is constantly mildewing.
All the fix it guys say their customers hate this machine.
All of them recommend a whirlpool. If you want a front load, buy a whirlpool so they say. They all recommend a top load whirlpool.
Second, we have had a plumber recently to fix our toilet. He said to always flush even if you just pee pee. He says the urine causes build up which can eventually stop up your toilet.
