I bought a new top loader, just a basic washer and I wish now I'd looked for a good older used one. Energy saver this, water saver that, shoot, the rinse cycle has about a 1/3 of the amount of water that the wash cycle uses, it doesn't even cover the clothes. After the final spin the clothes are so tangled it's difficult to get them out of the tub. So far I haven't found any ripped clothes and I'm surprised.
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: Walk as children of light.
