Charles, are you sure you don't have any electrical outlets under or near the kitchen sink? If you do, plumbing Y-adapters into the hot/cold water inlet valves is a trivial matter. |

I'd go for a Samsung VRT Front-Loader. If you don't know, VRT stands for Vibration Reduction Technology. |

Here is my line-up of appliances. To the right of the portable DW (which has a quick-connect hose of its own) is a 2 foot (60cm) cabinet. Then comes the sink. Hope this helps. |

Yes, but in a rental, I don't want to make any "permanent" renovations. |

Hello charles, i have sold over 50 of the Whirlpool WFC7500VW models and i have four friends who have own them, very good machines for under a thousand bucks. They first came around under the name ( Eurotech ) in 2001,02 they had problems from the first generation of the product, but whirlpool got the kinks out. We like them better because of the internal water heater that will heat the water to 140F on cottons, (HEAVEY) wash and it has four wash baffles which is fun to watch pretty cool wash action and they have a higher water level. The Maytag does not have the heater but both machines have 1200 RPM spin speeds. Well all my friends Whirlpool machines are still going strong after 4 years, the only down fall is that if you want to change a cycle you have to wait for it to cycle down and that could take about 4 to 5 min for you to start a new program. It is electromechanical timer inside. But otherwise the washer cleans well and quiet and it rinses well, it's is much different then the Maytag. Good luck! and Happy holidays to you and all. Darren k

LOL and to top it off it costs me MORE to live in rental hell (in FAR less space) than half a house cost me. Divorce. *FEH* |

Hi Charles, I would stay far away from LG. I had a LG combo, and it leaked various times. The service is so poor. Look in google under LG service nightmare and you can read part of my story. If you do get it you better make sure you can get it serviced in your area. I am also looking for a front load combo. Problem is most places push the LG. I want to find out more about this new malber or the splendide models. It's amazing all the american companies are pushing steam options and other BS but frigidaire or whirlpool won't produce a combo! Makes no sense. If I was going to get just a washer - I would go with the frigidaire. Good Luck with whatever you decide. Peter |
