I'm willing to bet the farm the 'hot' water setting is dumbed down to 90-100 degrees (otherwise known as lukewarm). Having experienced that frustration with the impeller-based Immersion Care, it would be a deal-breaker for me. Quite honestly, had the IC allowed for truly hot water, it would probably still be in my laundry room.
My advice mantra remains the same: Get a front-loader with an internal water heater. If you require a top-loader, make it a Speed Queen. |

Looking at those photos, the build quality doesn't look too wonderful. |

After doing further research I have come to the realization that this is more than likely an F&P design. Haier and Electrolux joined forces designing new laundry appliances, add to that the fact that Haier purchased 90% of F&P back in 2012 and it becomes clear where the DNA of this washer came from.

I have to agree with washer111, unless it's a Direct Drive machine like the F&P, then it's purely a Electrolux/Simpson based machine.
And to tell you the truth, they don't get great reviews here in Oz. A lot of the time, they have balancing issues. I now have a 10kg F&P Washsmart and its far superior to the Simpson. Cheers Leon |
