From what I've whitnessed, front loaders seem more susceptible to mold/ mildew growth than top loaders. How often do you use the tub clean function with washing machine cleaner? I know LG recommends every 30 washes.
That wasn't the claim from the comment you replied to. It was about Microsoft botching a launch and making the product worse over time which Asus is just as guilty of doing.
I see, just didn't get it then.
