This design is standard on most(if not all) full-size top loaders across asia. Panasonic, Hitachi, Toshiba and others make them too |

Wait until the planetary drive seizes :) You're in for a sweet sound (that thing in the middle) I've had 3 of these and only one still runs under light use. I will admit they are incredibly convenient for small areas, but if you're going to get one the 23e is a better unit all around. All of my small XQ and HLP series suffered from a failed planetary drive, on the 1st machine the drive began to seize and went on and took the motor. These are however neat little machines and can provide good results but as expected they do tangle and the narrow diameter spin basket doesn't extract terribly well.
Also, the main reason these machines has a pulsator is purely size. They aren't HE machines, it's just there is no physical room in the tub for an agitator. The full-size Haiers are clones and I don't believe Haier designed them. I think the full-size machines that have pulsators are HE machines. -Tim |
