Fisher and Paykel. It looks like a top loading machine (the door is on the top), but it operates like a front-loading one. It doesn't fill up the bowl up with water. Instead, it sprays water from the sides and then spins it out at a high speed.

Did I tell you how much I hate it? I should have trusted my instincts in the first several weeks after I had it (that it wasn't the machine for me), but I didn't and now I'm stuck with it. And I paid a lot for it.

When I wash the sheets on my bed, I noticed that there are still mascara marks on the pillowcases when they come out of the dryer. And dirt did not come out of my sons' khaki pants (he worked at a golf course.) I never had these problems with the top-loading machine I had before.

We have this washer in storage while we're building our house, and I am so much happier with the inexpensive top-loading machine in our apartment! I hardly ever have to iron anything now. I was ironing for hours with the other machine.

Also, since the door on the top of the machine opens from front to back (instead of opening from side to side like most machines do), I was constantly hitting the cabinets/shelves above my washer. I never thought of this until they delivered it to my house!

Maybe the Duets are better, but I have not been happy with this brand.
