We will change our washer next year. Do you know why front loader washers use less water ?

I went to AcmeHowTo.com for some general information on how gas dryers work, and how to repair them. In just a paragraph or two, I had a much better understanding of how a gas dryer works.

I didn't know gas dryers existed... but we do not have gas at home, except for cooking.
Our washer integrates a dryer but we almost never use it. Thanks for the link to AcmeHowTo.com

I used a piece of vibration absorbing foam rubber as a cover for the washer, and then covered the whole thing with the least expensive countertop available at the big box home improvement store. The countertop has a back edge to it, to keep things from falling behind the laundry machines.

Great idea. This is an advantage for front loaders. May help to decide in a year.
