But should be avoided since they use several times the water and
electricity, and money to run. They are basically obsolete technology.

Don't say that to a Merkin, unless you want to listen to a twenty minute
rant about how marvellous Maytag "washers" are.

Have you ever seen a stacked top loader and tumble drier? Hysterical.


Yes, I've been accosted in an appliance store by a Maytag rep. showing
their products. The stacking arrangement of sloping panels to be
able to reach the lower one was certainly interesting.

They had the back panels off to be able to see inside. Basically
they are very simple engineering, and seemed built like a battleship,
but little or nothing in terms of control sophistication.

It seems that the assumption is of huge washloads of the same stuff.

That is why it is best to have two low to mid priced washing machines
running different coloured loads, and no down time if one needs attention.
