Water use for clothes washers?

I can't find comparisions for water use for clothes washers - they say front loaders use less - OK but which front loaders use the least and wash the bestWater use for clothes washers?
We had the GE front load washer and dryer at my parents house and it does use less water, but we didnt think that it cleaned nearly as well as a traditional washer. They have also broken down about 5 times since they've had them. The repairman told us that we needed to run a bleach cycle every month to clean it...and the clothes just don't smell as clean when they come out of the wash. They're nice and easier to load, but we had problems with them and the whole not smelling clean was a problem too.Water use for clothes washers?
If you ask at the store they should be able to help you, or maybe check out consumer reports.com. That might help. I have an LG and it uses something like 15 gallops per wash, which is way less that my top loading machine I had.( I believe it was closer to 40 something.
1) GE, WJRE5500WW rated the best for its high efficiency w/ esp. $ 500. My sister owns it, and I highly recommend it as well personally.
