We have a Kenmore Energy-Star 417.43042300 front-loader (no idea where they get those descriptive model names). We bought it used (Craigslist) for $300 so it's probably 3-4 years old.

It's been a real trouper, and the spin cycle practically dries the clothes on its own. We don't run the dryer for more than 30 minutes a load, even a full load of towels. It's cut out a big chunk of our monthly energy use.

Craigslist sellers tend to get rid of their appliances for the most trivial upgrades-- new kitchen/garage décor or the latest technology/styles. Prices are 50 cents on the dollar, although we once scored a $50 dishwasher.
