bjrose: that is horrible. the newer one's have child lock settings on them so you can just start it. But yeah that's horrible. Plus our laundry has a lock on it so i wouldn't leave it open when unattended. but still. Oh maybe i can get Dh to make a cupboard and put it higher off the ground? wonder whether that will work, anyways haven't fully decided yet. will wait and see once we go have a look at more.
Here in Sing we have an LG Frontloader 9kg and it's great. I do have an LG Frontloader 7kg one at home in Perth too. Frontloaders are generally gentler on clothes, and use less water I think. No you can't stop it half way and chuck in anything you forgot, but you learn not to forget! I love mine and I'll always have a front loader. I wash Max's nappies in it on the 'baby care' setting, and for everything else I do 'quick wash' which is a 30 min cycle. I always wash in cold water too, but that's just me!
If you do get a front loader though just remember that once you've got a load out, keep the door open (and the powder tray) to make sure that it doesn't get mouldy. I also turn the power switch off at the wall and the water tap off so no babies of mine could climb in and turn it on (what an awful story!)
