Ross I agree with you!! We are really in need of an American company that would produce a high quality product. Just seems like it would really go over. Terry |

I agree 100%...we definitely need a new company, new technology, better quality/materials, etc. Bring back the Unimatic and splashy FL's please! |

Isn't the "New" American Laundry equipment company Speed Queen?Just would like to see them expand their distribution.Since they build both TL and FL machines-that should make everyone happy.And maybe they could build dishwashers as well? |

Technology is already here, just too many "consumer" driven appliance makers chasing every new fad. In the process they cheapen existing products or produce poorly designed replacements. "New" machines? Forget it, most washer and dryers sold today seem to be an Asian clone or knock-off. The next big trend may be small commercial (18-25 pound) washers and dryers for home use. Dexter, Speed Queen, Schutless and others already produce quality "small" laundry appliances for on premise laundry. Most are soft mount and run on single phase 120v power. Cost may be "steep", but considering the short life span on much of what is out there, one might as well go with a small commercial washer. For the longest time have been looking for a new front loader that holds more than Miele, but built as well. Probably going to with SQ as it seems the only quality built front loader out there. Many of the new offerings look interesting, but up close they are plastic, plastic, and more plastic. Launderess |

I would kill for a Wascomat to use at home. And NOT the re-badged Frid-Ge-Mores with a drain pump that are made to replace top-loaders in laundromats. Even used, these are good for at least three decades. All SS, no tranny, no pump, no boot/seal. Fill and drain solenoids and a mechanical timer.. WOOHOOOOOO. simplicity defined. |

Always keep my eye out for soft mount commercial washers on fleaBay, but they never seem to be in my neck of the woods. Shipping a 300lb washer is just not cost effective! *LOL* Still, am keeping my eye on this set: A girl can dream can't she? CLICK HERE TO GO TO launderess's LINK on eBay |
