We bought a new washer/dryer a couple of years ago and found that the best place to get fairly objective information was a place called "The Laundry Store" near IKEA. They spent a ton of time with us about the pros and cons of every model/brand. If you're confused about all the options, go talk to them.
My wife did the research and was most keen on a Miele, so we ended up buying the entry level Miele front-load. I like the front-load, I am not sure I am too keen on the features of the entry-level Miele (compared to Samsung and others at the same price), although Miele is considered to be a high quality machine and backed by a 10 year warranty.
Good luck.
