each year we purchase 2 new domestic washers for the small loads and patient gowns ., Usually in Jan. I need to start getting request in soon.. For the last 30 + years I have always had a machine in mind, however this year I really do not see anything that I really like. At this point the only machine that even looks like a mabe is the one below does any one know anything about these?

Is this Frigidaire's model that has 7000 in it? If so, the only cycle which uses the supplemental heater is the Sanitary cycle.

What I consider better options would be a Bosch or one of the Whirlpool relatives from them, Maytag, or Sears. Why? Because their supplemental heaters are used in more cycles.

Is there a chance that, if you bought Mieles, they would be more durable, and you wouldn't have to replace them annually anymore?

Mieles

are too nice for this plant they would have them torn up in 2 hours! As soon as they find out they are expenseive thats the end. Its cheaper in the long run to buy acouple every year than to worry with them we dont expext them to run more than 16 or 18 mo. at the most .. However we have two old F D Gallery that have done well for 3 years now and still going.

I really like the Frigidaire front loaders (and in fact, may wind up getting one myself) but my only concern is that you check out whether the door (mechanism, hinges, etc.) are strong enough for what sounds like pretty consistently heavy use.

If you can swing a little more in the budget, you may be able to get a Whirlpool GHW9250M at some kind of discount, especially if you're getting more than one. I really like those machines as well!

That's actually the only American-branded machine I can think of that I'd consider to maybe be a bit more reliable (they may actually be made in Germany by Bauknecht, but I may have my models mixed up....)...

Yes, there is a Sears variant, but sometimes the Whirlpool models work out to be cheaper.

I like the Speed Queen

I am not too sure about them but I do like the older styling look.

I wash sheets for my home business for massage theropists in my own Miele and it is great. I use it for everything here. It is durrable, with an internal heater, I have it just hooked to the cold water, and it does fine.It take a little getting acostomed to. It spins fast, faster than the American machines out there.It is just a thought. I also use half of the soap from the other front loader that I had before it.
