Hi jax, May I ask what percentage of that 50 or 60 dollars per month is for laundry? When you state that you wash 12 to 15 loads per week, do mean full or partial loads? Cheers 'R' |

for what it's worth, I say go grab that Calypso--before someone else does. But, yes, keep the DD for backup. Lawrence/Maytagbear |

The Calypso I have was bought used, $125 or $120, IIRC. No repairs or refurbishing had been done, but mechanically it's OK. The motor controller board's fuse blew the 2nd time I ran it, but I got a used board and no further trouble. It's rusted under the hood, around the frame and the clamps on the water distribution hoses .. but that isn't unusual in the local environment. For $100 I'd go for it. As Robert says, and IMO, it's worth that price just for the fun and drama. I'd confirm with the seller what all was involved in the "repair" and request to look under the top and under the skirt to perhaps find some leverage for negotiation if there's a lot of rusting and/or smutz. One would assume it should been cleaned up if repairs/refurbishing has been done. Is there any sort of return/guarantee on the sale? |
