Yep... would love a front loader on my e-20...  Like the idea of less
electricity, don't care about hot water and soap usage ( the e-20
doesn't get a bath regularly).  Kids would love the spin extractor cycle
but I think I would need to add seat belts or some kind of safety switch
to shut down the e-20 when we go flipping off at the end of the
"extractor" cycle.

Ah but this is a front-loader! One of the first for home use (by US 
manufacturer). Got it in 1981 or so. White-Westinghouse. I was looking 
at the energy tag on it - it is the low value of the scale. Also uses 
less water, easier on the clothes, etc. It's a good solid unit and I've 
done minor repairs on it over the years. I'ts a point of honor to keep 
it going, plus I hate to junk something just beacuse of bad contacts. If

it rusts thru or the motor goes, ok.

But anyway, you are right, front loaders are nice!
