Speaking of needing a deep breath….

Our washing machine just broke. It is not a huge surprise given our heavy use with all boys and cloth diapers and the strange noises and stopping in the middle of cycles it has been doing.

But I am ~40 weeks pregnant. If I am not in hard labor tonight, I will be at Sears. Or maybe I’ll just labor at Sears.

I’ve been trying to read through some thoughts online, between contractions, with respect to washers and cloth diapering. I really liked our top loading model that lets me easily adjust the water level, do multiple rinses and add things after I’ve already started the load.

There are a lot of negative reviews about high efficiency and front load washers and cloth diapers as well. Does anyone have any thoughts?
