    Wirpool front load washers

    Drum was not stainless even though it looked like it. This thing was heavy! About 175 lbs! I thought it was full of water but it was not. This thing has a huge concreate ring over the top of the washer drum to keep it ballanced! Ive seen bricks used before but never this! It's got to be 40 lbs...

    Interestingly, over 99% of washing machines in the UK are front loading. The only top loading machines are either extremely old models, or they are found in laundrette shops.
    I know lying is wrong, but if the elephant man came in now in a blouse with some make up on, and said, "How do I look?" Would you say, bearing in mind he's depressed and has respiratory problems, would you say, "Go and take that blusher off you mis-shapened elephant tranny?" No. You'd say, "You look nice... John""
