Newer machines are several times more water and energy efficient.
Still nice that they lasted long and were easier to repair.
Efficiency does little for your wallet and the environment if you need to buy/produce a new machine every few years.
(Not to say that we shouldn't strive for efficiency.)
Plus these fancy new machines can’t even wash a fucking blanket (unbalanced every time, no matter what I do).
I haven't had an issue with an unbalanced load since I started using a front loader. Mine washes all our blankets without issue other than the >15# weighted blankets, and that's just me not wanting to risk my washer to not go to the Laundromat.
