Moral to the story, I gave up on what was once a very good publications years ago and is now a shadow of what it once was.

+1 there "Minge". Bad thing about CR is that unless you know the product very well by owning it or somehow working around it, tough to refute their claims.
However, you are correct, everything that they do rate that I know something about, I disagree with almost completely.
BTW, I got the "old-fashioned" washer and dryer too, both commercial grade from Lowe's on sale for $900 as a set. Plus a $100 gift card and free delivery and setup. Then to top it off, used my Chase card which was offering 10% rebate on purchases at Lowe's. God bless the folks wanting the front loaders that beat your clothes over rocks in their washer and then any water left over turns to mold if you close the door afterwards. Thanks for making our washers and dryers so much less $$$$.
Best.
