Front loading or top loading washing machine?

Samsung AI front load - Looks beautiful, just a jog dial and no other buttons.
Not a very convenient to use UI is it. I'd prefer to see all options around the dial. Last thing I want to see is this style becoming more common.

Form should follow function and not the other way around
Heavy enough so does not tumble.
A properly levelled machine doesn't move
2 years trouble free operation.
My LG just passed 9 years trouble free operation
 
A washing machine just has to clean clothes there is nothing complicated about it. I love minimalism and since its serving its purpose, form does meet functionality in this case, what are you even on about. Its good your antique runs fine, its just been 2 years for me. What you want to see it your opinion, i have mine. You acting like I attacked your washing machine, you need to calm down.

I don't know what the sequence of programs is and its a PITA to keep scrolling one at a time to find. Not practical. Sometimes you want to try different programs. Keep bloody scrolling until you find it

What will happen is people will resort to using an app from the phone to program the machine. Because it's simpler except you never needed a phone to program your machine if they didn't use this SHIT minimalist idea of a UI to begin with.

As opposed to seeing every program spelt out at once and turning the dial there as its always been for the last fifty years.

You are clueless as to what is practical or not. You only care how pretty things are. Liking minimalism with an uncritical eye doesn't help.

You don't need anything more in terms of functionality. Mine is a base model. And get this, no touchscreen to get messed up like will happen within five years for every machine sold a few years after mine because another stupid idea for controlling the machine became the norm.

And your opinion is worthless. You can tell how clued up people are when they talk ergonomics instead of looks. That's how you seperate the kids from the adults.

It's a tool, I want it to be quick & easy to operate. Not a showpiece to look at.

You acting like I attacked your washing machine, you need to calm down.
And there's a good reason for that.
I would rather highlight these issues at the outset than have people 'get used to it' because some idiot recommended because he thought it looked good.
