Nope. Out of luck. Any FL today is digital. | ||

If you can give up the internal heater, Speed Queen makes a FL with knobs. | ||

SQ FLer With Rear Control Panel Still has dial Controls But no water heater, If you want an extra hot wash just get a 120 volt 3-5 gallon water heater and install it with flexible hoses in the cold water inlet of the washer. Then when you want a really hot wash turn on the WH 15 minutes before you start the washer and you can easily have a hot wash temp in the washer of over 140 degrees. When you start the washer just turn off the extra WH and the cold water will continue to fill through the WH without it boosting the water temperature for the rinses.
We have installed various brands of FL washers this way over the years, the reason we install the WH on the cold water line is so you are not drawing your homes hot water into the extra WH where it will just sit and cool after the wash fill is completed. | ||

What size of loads are you washing?
I know you said manual controls because you want to mix and match cycles... I ask because I have never had as much control over my cycles as I do my Miele washer. And I love my built in heater... I haven't found one as efficient at heating the water like the Miele is. You can add water and extra rinses in the service menu, and the machines just work... Heavy little .. buggers too.. If you find a dealer that will sell you NCC2 (floor model) or NCC3 (store demo) units, a heck of a deal can be had. They will still have a full warranty. | ||

True Bruce most all washers have an electronic timer, even if the knob looks mechanical. | ||

That is a Hotpoint/Indesit (basicly) carbon copy of a EU design and is just as digital as any other FL. | ||

The Ariston brand doesn't exist anymore, I guess it got killed in the problems with the Indesit company. The washing machine linked is the same as the Hotpoint Experience:

They have some interesting appliances. I like the dishwasher too. They seem to be aimed at ADA compliant stuff.

What about this cute little guy?
www.compactappliance.com/EdgeStar... I would do the lux before I would do the GE... I do not like GE's non-American machines. | ||

I'm leery of combo washer/dryer machines - more components to break! Bruce, right on all counts, expensive AND crap shoot! Maybe I'm just putting way too much thought into this. | ||
