Recommendation for new WASHING MACHINE

lol! I know you meant 1000RPM, not 10,000RPM, but heh heh.....



The ultimate right now, not counting oddities like Bosch and Asea, is the Whirlpool Duet set on pedestals. Gets 'em up where it's easy to reach in, and those washers really do kick ass. They're a heavy mutha, tho.....I've installed lots of them.

For a 'normal' washer, I'd get the best Whirlpool you can afford.


And as far as front-loading goes, Fisher-Paykel is coming out with a top-load dryer.....put that in your bowl and smoke it!

Doesn't matter how big the washer is, unless your drier can match it. We have a big oversized washer, and if we wash a full load, we can only dry half at a time. So, it really doesn't save any time or effort.

Best bang for the buck I've come across:

Fisher & Paykel Ecosmart Washer
"America?s Most Energy Efficient Top Loading Washer"

• Matches the performance of its front loading competition at half the price and half the moving parts! (That's my own personal review! )

Fisher & Paykel DE06/DG06 Dryer Ecosmart GWL10 - Autowasher

• Brush-less DC motor
  
  Fisher & Paykel did away with the belt & pulley drive by directly attaching the motor to the shaft of the agitator. Windings are located in the motor stator rather than on the rotor. The rotor turns around the outside of a centrally mounted stator rather than inside it. This configuration allows for the rotor to be attached to the shaft driving the washer's spin and agitator movements or wash profile.
  
  SmartDrive System
  
  We've connected the DC magnetic motor directly to the agitator by a single stainless steel shaft. The SmartDrive System incorporates no belts, pulley's, or transmission, and as these are the first things to wear down and break in a conventional washer, the Ecosmart delivers greater reliability.
  
  However, the benefits of the SmartDrive System go even further. Again, by connecting the agitator directly to the motor and the motor directly to the "brain" or electronics of the machine we are able to deliver the proper wash profile for each load by giving an almost infinite number of agitator actions and water levels.
