Ok... here is the scoop! I went with the Kenmore Elite with HE3 steam.
Here they are together stacked up. We checked out a few different stores and decided on Sears. Sears had them reduced since they were making room for the colored versions plus there was a rebate, too. 
Here is the new front loader washer water line connections. Yes, the washer and dryer both have the steam option so the dryer needs a cold water supply, too. Notice I also have the ShakeAway Plus vibration isolation pads that I sell on my www.neptunewaxmotor.com site. I do use what I sell!
As I mentioned before I had to stack the dryer onto the washer because the laundry room is too small for both front loaders to sit side by side. It was a big difference at first switching to front loaders but now we like the stacked setup.
Can you guess which machine I went with from the picture?
I hope this machine does not have a door latch wax motor!
If you own an Neptune please check out www.neptunewaxmotor.com for door latch information to see if your machine has the defective wax motor that will fail and damage your machine control board.
Until next time...
Above is our laundry room after the 20 year old Kenmore 70 series were removed. We decided to paint the room since the home is 8 years old and it had the original paint. The washer may have been leaking slightly because the lint was really attached to the floor and was difficult to get up.
Above is the laundry room after the painting and cleaning was completed. I was rather impressed how nice the room looked after cleaning and two coats of paint.
Come back for the next series of posts to find out which front loader I picked up and what I did with the worn Kenmore set...
For all of your Maytag Neptune needs check out http://www.neptunewaxmotor.com/ to see if your Neptune has the defective door latch wax motor that will fail and cost you $450 if you bother the lonely Maytag repair guy. I will show you how to take care of this costly issue and save!
