I'm not sure how the subject changed Gayle...lol. Oh you'll know without a doubt when the septic needs pumped. Drains will start gurgeling (sp) and so will the washer. Once...when I was doing laundry...a tiny bit came up in the bathtub and it made my toilet gurgle .....knew then we waited a bit late...lol. Now...at the first gurgle...lol...we have it pumped.

I do hope you get your set delivered, especially after waiting in line. That was rude of them to only have two sets.

I did my shopping on-line too. Can't say I got the best deal out there but hopefully worth it.

Gayle, so glad you are getting your new washer and dryer!!!! I love my front loaders!!! They are wonderful. I have some of the first Whirlpool Duet's. With the drawer units to set them on. At the time, they were the top rated by Consumer Reports, but that was about 5 years ago, and there are lots more manufacturers making them, and lots more features than mine have. The washer door gasket on mine does get a bit moldy from time to time, but I just clean it with Clorox Cleanup once in a while and that solves the problem. A couple of times a sock got stuck behind the gasket and got moldy and smelled before I discovered the problem. If I leave the door open just a bit after finishing my laundry, the washer dries out better and the gasket doesn't get moldy. They just seal so much better than the top loaders, but they need to.

I do love the large capacity and I don't have to use nearly as much detergent. Overall, I'm very pleased with them. Made laundry much quicker and easier due to the capacity. Plus I can do quilts and large items at home, no more trips to the laundromat with those bigger items.

Wow, Gayle, That's a GREAT price!!!! I got an LG brand front load washer and dryer. I love them......except I didn't buy the bases to raise them up and they are kinda' low to get clothes out of.......but I can have one made I just haven't done it. I wasn't going to pay an extra $200 a piece for them!!

I don't have any problems with mine sealing or smelling. I leave the door to the washer open all the time to keep it from smelling because I read that that was a big problem. The washer has a lot of features and it's so easy to operate. I find that I do use a lot of the features for different things. At the price you got the set I don't think that you can go wrong!!!

I always thought the front loaders would be so nice until I heard about the smell...never thought about leaving the door open so it could dry out good. Maybe someday...but right now...knock on wood....mine work just fine.

It's not being delivered till December 17th. I wanted to be sure the floors were in before it was delivered. I didn't know they'd get put in so quickly!
