a little while ago I was talking about LG turbodrum washers....well this looks to be a similar machine, just less capacity i think. I found it from wal-mart online for a very cheap price compared to buying a new machine like that in the states or canada...here it is: www.walmart.com/ip/Magic-Chef-2.1... If i remember correctly whirlpool top loaders were 14 pound capacity, and this machine is too so thats not bad for capacity either, considering the price.
