The REASON washer - Just another "top-loading" machine that allows the masses to dump an entire bushel of laundry in the machine, start it, and walk away.. I do actually like the styling and concept. |

Have a very limited domestic market outside of the EU, and even there such things sell mostly in France (to fit in those small kitchens common in city apartments) Problem is that despite the top loading, capacity is rather small when one compares such units to similar front loading washers, and probably even less than some top loaders with central beaters or impellers. Despite it's size, even Consumer Reports faulted Staber's washer for it's rather "small" capacity To achieve any real increase in capacity for top or side loading H-axis washers, one would have to move up to the standard tried and true designs form ages ago, and still found in commercial laundries. However these units are a beast of another colour. Not only would they not fit in the standard front or even top loading washing machine cabinet space set aside in kitchen/laundry room design, physics comes into play A washing machine that holds fifteen or more pounds of dry laundry, is going to be on average twice or three times that weight when said laundry is fully saturated with water. Once you turn a drum that huge forwards or even use the old long barrel design, that is not only a great deal of weight to be supported, but to be kept stable. It is no accident that early tumble washers of this design and even models sold commercially today had low extraction speeds, or didn't extract at all. Laundry was simply moved to a dedicated extractor for final spin dry |
