Washing machine died

Our washing machine had several "personality quirks." However, it finally died on Thursday. We ran out to Sears since that was all that was open. However, we waited and ended up getting one at Gerrit's. Appliance. It's a middle of the road model from Fisher & Paykel. It should use less water than a normal washing machine but more than the fancy front loaders. The reduction is enough that, although it can still use regular detergent, you apparently use less of it. We'll see how it goes.
