C.O.
I would recommend NOT doing laundry DAILY!! I would set up specific days to do laundry.
As to what I would recommend? I have a Kenmore Elite set. Top loading.
I'm looking at a front loader. I miss mine from Germany - it really did a great job in cleaning clothes!!
Go to http://www.consumerreports.org and do some information/research there.
Have fuN!!!
