my girlfriend just bought a front loader and 'we' (we're both enviros too mel!) decided she should get the LG.

the really water efficient ones are quite exxy. maytag and asko i think (? not sure), sos he discounted those. and che brought it down to lg and electrolux.
the winning features of the LG were:
* has 2 hoses so you plug into the solar hot water system (if you have one)
* has a true cold wash setting. i have an electrolux which has cold washing setting ... but i later found out it has a minimum of 30 deg so heats up the water. the electrolux also only has 1 hose so heats the water up using electricity. we use greenpower but still .. i believed the salesperosn when he said this machine ahd all the features i was looking for!
