If your are looking at the 110 volt washer/dryer, it will dry very slowly. My Mom has an Equator 110v washer/dryer, and it takes 2.5 to 3 hours to complete a load. What you save in space, you will loose in time. Lisa | ||

Combo!
I do like the combo theory. I had 2 of them. The 1st one was a Equator that was great and I should never have given it up. Than I bought a LG and it was a service nightmare. LG has the worst available service. I dumped it over a year ago and have been using public laundry since. I want to replace it but don't know what to buy. I can live with the long drying times but now most of the machines have really long washing and rinsing times. I want one that will do the wash / rinse faster. A combo works for me because I hang dry a lot of my clothes. I dry a few things like towels sheets and underware. I want to get one with a decent capacity. I am currently considering the equator or splendide. I am just concerned about the servicing. It is disappointing that frigidaire or whirlpool don't make a combo. Peter | ||

Problem with large capacity front loading washing machines sold in the United State is quality varies. Some such as Speed Queen and Miele use commercial quality construction including bearings. Many, many others use cheap components and even worse the tubs and bearings are one assembly. Thus when the cheap bearings go(and they will), one has to replace the entire unit as the cost of repair will easily exceed a new washer. That is if the unit is designed for repair, most aren't. One can replace the bearings on a Miele, it isn't easy, and most Miele repairmen will try to talk one out of it, but it can be done. | ||

Combo!
This looks like a real nice combo. The new Malber being introduced has a simular capacity. I have not seen it as of yet. I also don't want to be the gunie pig like I was with that LG. It also looks like Asko is comming out with a new combo and it looks different than that distarous Eurotech model. So that maybe a possibility also. Haier has a nice one with a lot of flexability hwd1000 but has a really small interior. So I will continue to shop around. Peter | ||
