Hi all,
I'm moving to a new apartment in mid-August that has washer/dryer hookups! Huzzah! The space is for stacked unit(s) only and I definitely want front loaders--I miss my FriGEmores dearly. Does anyone in the Front Rage have a Neptune super stack they're looking to sell? This is my dream machine for the space and I'll go out of my way to find one. I saw one on Craigslist several months back but that was before I was in the market. I'm also open to other suggestions on where to find one. Thanks! |

That's my one pet peeve about people who post ads on CL, they rarely get the info correct. Specifically I'll see an ad for stacked Neptune (or other brand) set and will call it "stackable" implying it can be unstacked and put side by side, which the Neptune (and a few others) can't.
Aside from that there are numerous FL sets that can easily be stacked, where you end up with the same result.
Sure SQ makes a stacked FL set, but many people can't (or won't?) pay nearly $3000 for it.

I sold one today The total with del & installation came to $2350.00, with a REAL 5 year warranty they are actually cheaper than some of the cheaper machines.
Best of all you can do most repairs without moving or unstacking the dryer, there is little dough in my mind that a SQ stack will be cheaper to buy and own in the long run.
I replaced a dryer motor on one the other month in less than 15 minutes without moving the machine at all, there is no other machine out there that you can do that on. |

'stackable' may get a few confused......as in some can come apart for moving and installing, YET, must be stacked to operate.....
Such as Maytags SE1000 with TL washer, Neptune, and of course Speed Queen..... ones like Whirlpool/Kenmore/Frigidaire stay as an All-In-One Stacked unit....which can be a beast to move and install...note they are taller than most Fridges... |

How does stacking or not affect what you can or can't see? Besides, the washers run just fine with a 'dummy door' that's just a frame with a big cut out. A bath towel on the floor takes care of the minimal splashing:-)

Were actually very good machines, like the current SQs you can do most service operations without hiring two men to first unstack them.
IMEO the WORST type of stacked laundry you can have today is two full sized machines stacked in a tight place, when something goes wrong you might as well go buy a new set and through the whole thing away.
It is almost impossible to get machines fixed in this type of installation, in trying to get this type of mess fixed the machines get damaged, your home can get damaged, it is almost impossible to get the dryer vent duct properly connected in these blind installations etc etc. A one piece stack is always better if they are to be used in a vertical installation.
We deal with this every day and if you want to add insult to injury go buy some junk like an LG or Samsung or even the Kenmore's built by the same because the word is out in the DC metropolitan area you can't even book a service on these machines with a decent servicer you are immediately stuck dealing with someone like A&E etc. |

My sister had one of these Neptunes for several years. She had lots of trouble with the washer part for the first few years, but that was finally resolved. Liked them OK after that. |

WOW over TWO YEARS out of an LG pair with no troubles, you should be sending that into the Guinness Book Of World Records, 80% of even the worst machines usually go two years before anything goes wrong, let us know when they have gone 15 years with no problems, and even then it does not mean a thing because you are only talking about one set of machines used by one person.
My knowledge comes from dealing with a couple hundred customers appliances a week, and not a week goes by that we don't get more than a dozen customers calling and many begging us to fix their BROKEN, LG and Samsung appliances.
