How often do you clean out your vent filters?

frontloader washer and dryer
my water bill went down almost 20 a month
i am 4'11" and reaching the bottom of a top loader is tough and even tougher when i developed fibromyalgia.

i have notices bras and things with strings etc lasting much longer without an agitator.

i top know they make top loaders without agitators but i dont feel it gets as much movement to it as frontloaders do

We are on a well but this machine does use alot less water.It doesn't sit there and fill up like my old one did.The spin cycle is amazing as the clothes are barely damp when they come out.I love this machine, the load capacity is so large I don't get to use it too often though.Yes I have to use HE soap,and you use such a little bit the jug lasts forever.

My washer and dryer use the h/e detergent but i have used regular detergent but I don't use the full amount recommended.

I gt my w/d from Sears and they are great, mine is GE LP, the only problem that I have with it is that the washer gets an oder and sometimes leeks, we were told that open the door, and wipe clean around the door, and for the leaks, we drain the water using a hose from the bottom of the washer.
