When I Was Washer Shopping in 2010... ...I considered a Haier front loader (energy efficient and inexpensive), until I read the comments on here, and the user reviews on virtually every site that sold them. While most were happy with the little Haier top loaders, almost everyone complained that the front loaders were a nightmare. They were glitchy, cheap, next to impossible to get parts for, and died an early death.
That may have changed with more recent models (some of the reviews were several years old), but it was enough to make me run, not walk, the opposite direction. Although, if I had the space for it, I wouldn't mind a little Haier top loader if I could find one for cheap for the quick small loads that I accumulate. | ||

If one wants to run a 60HZ AC induction motor at 1/9th the frequency; it CAN be done. But one has to only use about 1/9th the input voltage. The LG FL here has a giant stator that is about say 12" in diameter and the rotor has permanent magnets. | ||

Haier XQG50-11 Front Load All-in-One Washer / Dryer has a rating of 1.5 out of 5 stars; rather poor! :) These reviews go back 8 years. CLICK HERE TO GO TO 3beltwesty's LINK | ||

reliability Hehe,my little antonio merloni built,2002 vintage,combo has actually been very reliable so far-only thing i have had to do was pull the motor and and do a light skim cut on the commutator as there was a surface flaw causing the the brushes to jump and arc at spin speed,fixed that and no problems since. | ||
