I keep mine a long time too, but I replaced our 18y.o. set with a "new" HEPA set 10-ish years ago (front loaders) and I don't regret that at all. The difference in water consumption alone has been significant and as we live on a well, in the desert, that matters! :-)

I think it was around 2005 when I originally bought my washer. Front loaders were available, but at that time they were a lot more expensive than top loaders and I didn't have the funds to buy one. I did at least manage to get a top loader with variable water settings the washer doesn't have to be filled all the way. I'm sure it still uses a lot more water than a front loader though. Someday when I am ready to replace this one I will get a front loader.
