Well If you believe that tumbler washers do a better job of washing and use less detergent then maybe it's worth it to you. However I suspect that some of you here are seduced by the sleekness of the new models. If you choose to spend your money on appliances then more power to you.
Personally my last washer was a mid-grade Whirlpool agitator (circluar tub) super capacity washer with all the options that I bought two years ago.
I got it from my favorite volume appliance store. The cost including sales taxes delivery/setup and old unit haul away was $272.
My personal opinion is that the savings in interest/opportunity cost over a $1200 unit will pay for all the soap and water that I will ever need with lots of money left over. The washer works just fine and the clothes come out just fine. For what it's worth I also have polo shirts that are 10-12 years old that look new.
These type units seem to last around 10 years. When it goes I'll just replace it with a similar unit.
