Location: Texas | Got a new washing machine yesterday, and I hate it. Sooo loud. I got a Maytag, top load without an agitator. I picked it because it had the largest load capasity but geez it is too loud. I am taking it back but don't know what to replace it with. Previously, I had a front load that was really quite but thought the top load might clean better. Opinions?

Location: Kansas | I just got rid of a top load (no agitator) as I didn't think it cleaned well. Went back to my front load machine and couldn't be happier.

| I got sick of replacing them for my wife. I got a SpeedQueen, there is nothing better than old school. Metal parts that hold up. |

Location: East Texas | I bought a dishwasher at Lowes. All of theirs were rated as to the noise levels. I got the quietest and you really can't hear it running. Not sure if they have that feature on their washing machines, but I would check.

| I have the new maytag top load with an agitator and its wonderful. Quiet and it cleans the clothes very well... I say that as a mom of young boys, one who plays football and their uniform pants are white :-/ and a truck driver hubby... I replaced a Samsung top load without an agitator that was big load capacity it was so loud and didnt clean as well. I can still wash our king bed goose down comforter in my new maytag without an issue. |

Location: Kansas | I got a new GE about a year ago and I hate it. I have no control over the load levels or the cycles. I call it the Obamanator (Mr. Climate Change) because it was manufactured to save water and all I do is use more. If I let it, it will fill to a level six inches below the level of where the clothes are. I just have to keep adding to the water level. I'd give anything to have my old Kenmore back. It was so simple.

I called this afternoon about returning it and they said no problem and asked about noise levels but they said they didn't rate them. |

Location: Texas | I bought a new top load, HE, meaning the water only fills to about half. I HATED it, gave it away and bought a used Amana for $100 three years ago. It uses enough water to get the clothes clean. I highly recommend going old school. |

Location: Jersey Girl | Just last year I bought a top load Maytag with an agitator. I don't think it cleans as well as the old one I had but overall I am happy with it and I paid less the $500 for it. |

I couldn't find anything old school. Even the new Kenmore's were oddball. Mine does have an agitator. If I try to wash sheets, they twist and ball up in a knot and it's a struggle to get them undone. I've never seen anything like it. |

| I went from a front load to a whirlpool top load - the top of the line- HATED it. It did not get clothes clean, the dryer had a sensor , suppose to know when the clothes were dry, more often then not it left them damp. My daughter needed a W/D so I gave them to her- how generous of me- she lives in the city it it does fine for her because her clothes don’t get that dirty. I read and read and decided to go back to a front load, they are suppose to get clothes cleaner and mine absolutely does. I decided to get an Electrolux and LOVE it-$2000 for the set. Using minimum detergent, I use pods, and leaving the washer door open to dry the machine out eliminates the mold issue some had with front load.

| I hate the new washing machines, seems I have to buy a new one about every three years. The last one was a LG, after the first year it wouldn't spin, I would have to babysit it to get it to spin. Be careful on the Speed Queens, I read an article that in 2018 they changed them and they are not as good as the older models. Do your research. |

I did some research and it said the LG had some kind of quiet feature. I used the Magtag again but on top of the noise factor, it leaves the clothes really wrinkled. If I didn't dry almost everything it would be a real issue. I might be going back to the front load. My only issue is that I don't like leaving the door open all the time.

Location: Missouri | I might be the one of the only ones who likes their HE washer.....got a top leader without the agitator about 6 mos ago, and once I took the time to flip thru the manual, I like it. Either I'm an idiot or the thing really is that complicated. Idk.  |

Call the company......they shouldn't be that loud. It may be defective. |

Location: Windoming | Before I got my front load, I was warned that the high setting on the spin cycle sounded like a jet taking off. They were right! But there is no need to use that high setting anyway, so I make sure it is never used. |

No, they are just that loud. I have the same machine. |
