In the 1990 and 00s I've seen Simpson, GE, Whirlpool and Maytag toploaders on sale here in Ireland and not cut down small ones either, they're US Size. |

Think the thing is one will find large US style top loaders in the UK where ever there were large familes. Lord knows those machines are exported to Israel, and other parts of the world for mainly the same reason. One can find any number of export dealers in the United States who have top loading washers for export that have been converted to run on 220v/240v power. Probably the next market would be military familes or other American expats/housewives who absolutely refuse to deal with "small" European/UK front loaders. L. |

Yes, anyone that has large amounts of laundry to be done quickly, benefits from a good top loader; hence restaurants and B&Bs. Methinks stables like these units because top loaders are probably slightly better at hair/muck covered items than front loaders. A top loader with 220v/240v heating power would be along the lines of an automated "copper", IMHO. *LOL* L. |
