Aren't they all still top-loaders ? Sure I saw a Usenet group discussing
this and all the European people there thinking they were on another planet.

Maytag do one with an angled drum which is something more akin to a
European design. It's still a monster though.



But their tumble dryers are infinitely superior in performance to any
we've experienced in Europe.

You reckon?

The only American white goods I have any time for are refrigerators.

Only for the size. Looks are awful. Why can't they produce an American
'fridge' with European styling. Siemens gave it a try but I really don't
want the rounded unpainted aluminium look.

I have a Maytag one with stainless steel finish giving it more of a
European than American look.

The internal design and performance are very good.
