Loaded question: Good all around washer/dryer on the market today
Comments (27)I don't know much about different brands because most of my appliance purchases have been made at Sears. That has come to an abrupt end. The last two have needed service calls right away. My washer was one of them and I didn't know I was buying a washer that was "sort of" an HE. I have no control over the amount of water. I have learned to wash my large loads in the "bulky" cycle because the tub fills completely on both wash and rinse. My washer cleans on a low water cycle but doesn't rinse well AND I am not using to much soap. The jean will practically stand a lone when dry because there is soap left in them and they irritated my skin. I started using the 2nd rinse and they are soft again. While I was at Lowes a couple of days ago I checked out the washers. I did find a couple that allowed you to set the water level....See MoreWasher and dryer that fit under a standard 36" counter
Comments (20)The issue with the Asko washer is the controller board. My machine never worked on certain cycles. They replaced it and the replacement machine didn't work on the same cycles. After 8 years of use in a weekend house the controller board broke and could not be replaced. Apart from that I liked the washer. I didn't care for the Asko dryer at all. It was vented. Everything came out constantly wrinkled. The Bosch non-vented dryer had a larger capacity and put the Asko to shame performance wise. One poster here, suburbanmd, bought one of the deluxe Asko sets and returned it due to function issues. Here is a link to the thread which details the problems. You can take/leave free advice, of course. I'm not going to use your machine so for me, it makes no difference which one you decide to buy. Folks make their decisions based on many factors. However, I do have experience as an owner of 3 of the 4 compact major sets. I wouldn't go go Asko again and don't recommend it. Miele is a far better washer & dryer. The Bosch washer doesn't have the true hot washes but the capacity is good and the condenser dryer is excellent. I have no experience with Electrolux compact machines so I cannot comment on those. However, that machine has a heater. And there are posters here who own the machines and like them. IOW other better choices....See MorePutting a washer dryer in master bath where old tub used to be
Comments (6)You will need to check with your town's or county's local code inspectors but, in my town of many old houses, the code inspectors read the codes: (a) to allow draining a washing machine into a laundry-sink with a 1½-inch drain; (b) to only bar use of an existing below-floor P-trap when the vertical distance is more than 24-inches between the bottoms of the utility-laundry sink and trap (that is do-able with some laundry sinks); and (c) to grandfather in the 1½" pipe because you are actually going to a lesser new use of 10 to 14 gallon drain-loads from the new sink as opposed to 40 to 50 gallon (or larger) from the claw-foot tub. (FYI -- The current 2"-diameter requirement for washing machine standpipes came about when some washing machine manufacturers added speedier drain pumps that pushed water faster than could be handled by a 1½" diameter standpipe. The code-recognized solution of draining to a laundry sink solves the problem by serving as a holding tank from which water will flow out only at the speed that the 1½" line can handle.) Now, you might well choose to do more than the laundry sink solution for all the reasons that ci-liantro mentioned. But if you've already taken out the tub, and need to do something pronto and the budget is tight for the time being, and you don't want to rip up your living space now with a big project, I'd check with the code inspectors and maybe run this by another contractor....See MoreHeight of laundry counter
Comments (7)@theotherjaye, thanks, I missed that she wanted to use a counter instead of folding on top of 36" toploading washer and matching dryer. @erhoff2000, Sorry, those 35-35" high machines were only toploading washing machines and the matching dryers. The appliance store is Howards (several branches in Los Angeles area). Since you want front loaders, check their website online. It indicates what is in stock and what is on the floor in your local store....See Morebadabing2
