Hi all,

After heading to Lowe's to buy a lower-cost Maytag Bravos (thanks to the input on this forum!), I came across a Bosch Front Loader on clearance coupled with a Lowe's sale/gift card offer.

In the end, the total cost will be $585 including tax, which was only $85 more than the top-loader Bravos. I went for the Bosch because I wanted the internal heater for sanitation cycle (not that I specifically need that).

Can anyone give me feedback on this machine? It's not too late for me to return it, as it hasn't been delivered yet.

Also -- is it necessary that I buy a front-loader dryer to match with this, when I do replace my current dryer? Pros and/or cons to that?

Thanks!
