I have Electrolux EW962F(5KG),then Toshiba AW-1050SM(9KG).

Electrolux: Best care for your clothes,my 5years old everyday wear pants looks good.
Use less water than top loader.
The bad:
Electric Magnatize door lock is safe but the machanism(push button located far from door) of mine spoiled after 5years of rude use by maid,machanism of programme selection dial spoiled by her also,darn!
Must use low sud powder,if not she would 'vomit' white suds.
Not big enough for my 5members family.

Toshiba: Big load,fast,able to wash bed blanket.
The Bad:
Damage my cotton clothes,change my t-shirt size,actually it change everything when 'heavy wash' selected,even the thick bath tower.
Lint filter don't work if under 24Liter(2nd level of water)because the water not immerse to the filter where it located.
Circuit board spoiled under warranty(month-9),lucky me.
Wash programme not so effective,especially black color clothes and jeans still have uneasy smell on them. Set longer then machine hurt the clothes.

And now I understand front loader is the best machine,and I miss her alot! I don't mind to waste 40mins or more to complete wash cycles,I know she is protecting my clothes.
