I couldn't resist. That sounds like an interesting washer/dryer. The
only problem I see is you wouldn't be able to put large loads of clothes.

how do they work with less water? Soap disolving, rinsing, and such would
seem to be constants?
I'm interested.

I'd really like to know more about this item. If a brand or something
could be provided, I think it would be great!

Less soap is used and everything, savings on everything except the washer.
Water is dispensed by way of the soap container. Water is added according to
weight of the cloth. If you want to add a piece of clothing you only have a
certain amount of time since all weight is measured and calculate
I'm pretty sure you all are talking about front load washers. We
just got one a few weeks ago. The water is pulled through the
cloths, which is how it works with less water. The cycle times
are usually a little longer though. There is also special
detergent for these kind of washers. You need
I hope it is alright to mention a brand name. The best rated washer was
by Sears Kenmore, made by Whirlpool. I have the Duet set made by Whirlpool and
I did get them at Sears. The set cost me almost a 1000 for the washer and 6
hundred for the dryer. They are available for less at lowes.
Bob, good to see your name again and could you give us a brand name ? is
this a new Lady Kenmore? Now if we will be saving on detergents , etc.
maybe eventually those prices will come down too. thanks for
sharing.Lee

Lee, you can get the same units with very slight option or control
changes. They are the standard height for front loaders. One of the biggest
cost factors I have found is caused by color selection. If a store offers a
wide color selection of a product, the cost is more across the board
Lee, Boop mentioned about special soap, and I don't remember doing or
using special soap.
So I checked, my Duet HE, they recommend (HE soap) high efficiency soap or
half of regular soap. We just use half of what is recommended, so our cost on
that is half of what it used to be. ..

We've had a sears washer and drier set with front loading whasher that's
supposed to use much less water for about 2 years now.
Everything boop and others wsay about this type of machine is true.
The spin, if set on fast, is a bit noisy but otherwise the machine is very
quite. Varriable rotation
Another nice feature of the front loaders is you can wash your comforters and
pillows at home without getting them to the laundry mat.
I was the sounding board for a friend when she was buying a front loading set
last year. BTW, she is very pleased with hers. A tip is to price the stands

I love to put my things out on a line. Though it is not any cheaper to have a
