The only way these 120 volt,ventless combos worl well is with real cold water. Condensor drying works best with colder water. These dont dry as fast because their voltage doesn't allow as much heat as 220 volt volt version would. Why nobody makes any 220 volt or a gas 110 volt model puzzles me to themax.

The LG has a larger capacity whether it's the 24" or the 27". It has better air flow and a fast final spin kf 1400 RPMs. During the final spin,the dryer heat begins. The best set up is where tap water is COLD because the colder the incoming water,the faster the air condenses evaporating the steam/ draining out the water. They were not real efficient in Florida or Texas like they were when I had one in Baltimore. I grew up with the Lady Kenmore (1963) and the average complete wash/dry cycle took 120 minutes. It was a gas model and ran on 120 volts. Top of their line of four models. I am sure that ,had it had as fast of a spin as the current combos,the cycle time would have differed being considerably less. Why none of the previous manufacturers i.e.,Whirlpool, Bendix, GE, Crosley have yet to reintroduce any current , full size or smaller size combos is beyond my comprehension. They save time,money,space,water and can be installed where ever there's a fresh faucet hook up,drainage and power. Is it that none of their anual,six digit income engineers can figure out how to make w 220/208 volt electric or a 120 volt gas model of the combination washer dryers?

Has anyone heard talk about ANY Manufacture coming out with a Gas Combo? I can't understand why not. I have always wondered if the reason was old patents that are still in effect... B |
