Looks like the washer/dryer set you could put in your will. I wonder what the reserve is. | ||

IIRC this is the same Solaris set that has been up several times on eBay without reaching the reserve price. One set sold at a "BIN" price of $2,500, so that gives you some idea of the reserve price. Solaris is from ADC (American Dryer Corporation), a company known for commercial and coin-op laundry equipment. There was a thread on these units awhile back, and the matter of who builds the washer for ADC was never resloved. ADC, as the name suggests is known for their dryers, so do not know if the washer is a rebadged unit from another source, or if ADC went into the washing machine business as well. FWIW ADC's "Solaris" dryers for commercial use have had some reported problems, but they may have been corrected by now. | ||

ADC may have distributors for it's commercial laundry products, and or have an internal sales force. You will not find these units at your local appliance type store. Despite the blurb about "residential" use, IIRC, ADC is like Speed Queen's "HomeStyle" laundry appliance range. Designed for light commercial (motel, small hotel,bed and bath,beauty salon, restaurant, etc.)use, and secondary for residential use. While the units do run on 120V power, they are not exactly "small". One would need a pretty decent sized laundry area to install these units. Probably along the order of a "small" MacMansion. The seller of the units shown above seems to be some sort of financing company, probably dealing with commercial laundry equipment. As these and other units he/she is selling are used, they probably are either off lease or perhaps even repossesed items. Or simply a laundry closed down and returned it's equipment to the owner, who could be this credit company. Don't let the photograph fool you, it is the same stock photograph shown each time the auction is run. L. | ||

Some commercial washers like those made by Milnor allow for major user programming of cycles, water, temp, spin, tumble rotation (including pause, or one way tumbling), but such options are rarely available on "homestyle" units. Belive what one is paying for with the Solaris units, is similar to SQ's "homestyle" line. Robust construction with large capacity, and quasi "commercial" use. | ||

And Another Thing
Really do not find these units that attractive. The stainless steel commercial look has been done to death with kitchens and utility areas now resembling morgues or operating suites. Stainless steel is also a nightmare to keep looking decent, second only to copper for requiring routine polishing. Just my two pence, L. | ||

Tecnopolis: These ARE the cat's meow! Knitwits 1975: In my will? HELL no. Bury me in one of them. *LOL* Launderess: I'm with you; SS is a PITA to keep finger-print free. But in the laundry room, I'd MAYBE consider it. Jetcone: I like how you think. That is my formula too. Half or less when used. Agiflow: NOW I get to be the REAL Toggleswitch and push your buttons. LOL ONLY JOKING HERE/ READY? Son, you are WAY too young to hate change. Those who don't bend, break. BTW, R U saying the ones that have agitators are better then the models without? What would Freud say? Love, peace and beware falling rocks. *LOL* (I'm only joking). *Ducks and runs*. | ||

Duet in Stainless If those are the Duet's "stepped vanes" I see in the picture with the doors open, I can believe it! For the price of the KitchenAid ProLine I'd rather have a commercial double-loader, thank you. | ||

The KitchenAid pro-line version (pictured above; thanks, DADoES!) was profiled at appliance.com a few months ago. Price for the pair was $7000. (Yes, seven thousand dollars.) In the spirit of Austin's comment above, I'd rather have a mini laundromat of FrigMores than to spend seven large on this pair. They are gorgeous, though, no two ways about it. | ||
