Both Maytag and Kenmore (Whirlpool) have models with water heaters though I
don't know the exact temperature they get to.

I just bought the Bosch Axxis washer and dryer set. I chose it over the
Maytag and GE models because I'm so impressed with European engineering.
I chose the Bosch over the Asco brand because in my research I asked the
part guy which parts are more frequently ordered. He said by far Asco
brand. The clincher for me was when my friend who owns the Asco set
just had a $400 pump replaced under warranty and he only had it 14
months.

Here's what I like most about the European brands v. American Brands.
The extra hot water settings the Europeans use by heating the already
hot water to 180 -210+ degrees makes for really bright whites. Add
water softener to the detergent and you'll get brighter whites than
bleach could ever do.

I love the stackable or not stackable feature. I'm currently using mine
stacked with a handy roll out tray between them that I love. The dryer
is amazing. I can't believe how fast clothes dry.

Do lots of research, do unconventional research. I'm a big fan of
extended Warranties. Plus consider that the Europeans have been
designing front
loading machines for much longer than Maytag or GE. Undoubtedly they
are designing superior products when it comes efficiency.
