Am I wrong, or is the Launderall pictured today a top loading H-axis washer? I had no idea we had ever had them here in the US. |

Yes, it is. Yes they did and there is or was an even newer one made here. A couple of people in the club have had experience with the newer one. One of them can give you the name of the newer one. |

Stayber makes one and, as nice as it looks,it's really cheaply made. I worked on one a couple of times now but, the user(S)-owners don't seam to want to use it right.I've already replaced its pump, door lock and door switch but, they still keep abusing it even after I printed them an owner's manual.Stayber has no authorized service centers at all. they want customers to trouble shoot and do their own repair. I tried to point that out to the bosses here but, they still have these folks bring that POS here. Their last visit was the best. The switch that is evidently a protector that activates if the motor overheats was in the off position. All I had to do this time was turn it back on.I made sure everything else was o.k and cleaned out the caked on powdered detergent (Trend) they are still using after I pointed out the last time that Stayber didn't recommend using powders in their machine's dispenser tray.I also meant to say that as I was replacing the faulty water level switch, The damned thing broke (made of real cheap plastic) right at the base of the stem you force the air hose on to.I had to call them back and re-order another one. It takes 2 to 3 weeks here to get orders like that.Even the body is cheaply made.The front comes off but it's curved a bit and becomes a bitch to replace once the repairs are finished.Otherwise, it is what it is. A top loading horizontal axis washing machine.No window,no interior light.really basic machine for only $2100.

It isn't the lack of dissolving the powder as much as it is that the dispenser is set up to use only liquids. I spoke to one of Stayber's "techs" who said that, if they must use powder, they should just pour it in the tumble drum instead of in the liquid dispenser but, whoever sold the unit should have made that clear to the buyer.

$2100 for a "basic"Stayber washer that breaks a lot---no thanks.that washer sounds like a rather expensive peice of trash truck food.You buy the machine to use--not to fix. |
