Holy Hopping Washing Machines, Batman!

Consumer Reports and other publications say that front-loading washing machines are the best buys for washing your clothes. They use less water, less soap, less energy, and they are nicer to your clothes. Unfortunately, more than a few people are having problems with their washers trying to "hop" or "walk" right out of their laundry rooms. A few enterprising souls have posted videos on Youtube.com. They aren't the most exciting videos, but I have to believe that when a customer posts a hopping video on Youtube, the complaint gets resolved very quickly. (FYI youtube also has "how to" videos with tips on curing common washing machine problems.)
