I just bought my first front loading stackables as we are reconfiguring our laundry area which will now only allow a stackable.... i looked in consumer reports and the hard thing is that if you get a highly rated washer, the dryer is usually not the best, and if you get a highly rated dryer, the washer is not the best.
I went with a washer that was highly rated and 4.0 cu feet. (total was $1300 or so I think, I can't find the receipt right now). I was looking at a well rated model at sears (sorry, can't remember it at the time) but it was only 3.5 cu feet and to be honest, it just looked too small. So I went with 4.0.... a little more money, but I think it'll be worth it. Home Depot had a much better price on this GE (10% off currently, free delivery and haul away). Don't forget that you'll have to pay for accessories such as a dryer cord (yeah, they don't give you one), dryer vent, and stacking unit.
If you need specific model numbers I can find them, just PM me.
