Would agree with you that Maytag 2400 pairs is the front-runner in this group. |

Maytag 2400 is made by Samsung and they have more experience in making such Euro-size FL (but not full-size one) for the Asian and Euro markets. IMO. |

I think OP wants Euro-size (about 24" width) machines. HE-2 is a full-size (about 27" width) and an viable option if he/she relaxes the width constraint. |

The GE frontloader is wider too, it's 26 3/4 inches. I wouldn't buy a combo if you can have a washer and dryer set. A combo takes much more time to wash and dry a load than a separte washer and dryer. Most combo's can only dry half the load of what they can wash. And since the American combo's are only available as 110V models, it might take hours and hours just to process one load of laundry. And while you're drying it's not possible to wash another load. Too many disadvantages IMHO. |

Gurl, opinion are like @$$holes. Everyone has one and some really stink. The Italian-made WP set is (at least) service-able in this country. Who is gonna fix the (Italian made) no-name combos? BTW the only drawback I could see with the Italian-made mini-F/L comobs with a WP badge, is the dryer frum tumbles a bit slowly. No biggy. Whether it is available in regular US 110v I dont know. Let us know what you finally decide and good luck! |

If you have the space,I put hands down or thumbs up on the Frigidaire/GE front loading stackable washer/dryer.I have had all of them and they are great! The only one I had any trouble with was the Kenmore that was made by Frigidaire and after 2 years,the berrings were shot and I wasn't the only one to have that problem.There were a number of consumers who were affected by that.I think that maybe they made a bad bunch.Anyway since then I got a GE WSXH208AWW/DSXH43EAWW set and had them for a year then came across a GE WPXH/DPXH Profile set that had a sensor dry system and a 950 RPM final spin speed.I had them for abot 3 months then got a KitchenAid Ensomble set from a friend who bought them before measuring their depth in the closset the were going.Of course,Murphy's law went into affect and she called me in hysterics.I already had the GEs with the pedistals and we did an even swap.She still has them and just recently had a problem with the mother board but Ge was there yesterday and not only replaced the entire board assembly but also corrected the leveling of the washer and extended the warranty 3months because of a misshap they had with the service tech.who refused to repair it because the tag that showed the model and serial number was made of paper was missing.Otherwise,they are great.I sell very many sets and have lots of possitve feedback.Home Depot has the high end Profile washer for $749 and the matching electric dryer for $499 Electric/$549 gas.the cheaper set,the washer %599 the dryer $449 Electric/$499 gas.Free delivery,12 months 0%interest on H.D. credit card and if you open a new account,you'll receive 10%off up to a $2000 purchase!Their capacity is larger than the 24"models and they're manufactured in Augusta,GA.U.S.A.
