Front Load Washer, How I Hate You

I have never heard any complaints before about front load washers, only the simple fact that they are easier on a persons back. In the time that we have had our front load washer we have had to have the boot replaced twice already, and now we have to call tomorrow to have it serviced yet again... The first time we had a to have the boot replaced and the filters cleaned out. The second time there was yet another hole in the boot and now the damn boot got twisted up with a pair of jeans somehow. I have no idea how in the heck it happened but it is a real damn pain in the rear. I have never wanted to get my hands on a regular top load washer so bad in my life.
