For first timers to the Yale Blog, the benefits to a front load are many: 62% greater capacity and energy savings, less detergent, better spin for less drying and an agitator less wash, which is better for clothes.
Lets look at a few:
The Miele W4840/T9800: It is expensive at $3000, but Miele does have many proprietary features. A honeycomb drum for gentler washing action, intuitive controls and great repair record distinguishes this product....
Bosch Wfmc8401/Wtmc8521: Bosch is just a great piece...3.81 cubic feet and incredibly low water use really sets this company apart in the 1,000-2,000...It currently sells at $1699
Frigidaire FTF2140/Gleq2152: At 3.5 cubic feet and 17 gallons per wash, it is not as efficient as either of the above....BUT at $999, Frigidaire is the best value
I am so so sad that I can't make the kitchen planning class. I have to take a grad school course all day in Cambridge. After its over will you please share any of your secrets????? We close on the house that needs the reno in mid-March, so the project will begin after that. Should I make an appointment with someone at Yale, or just wander in? I have learned more with this blog than any of the MANY kitchen planning books I've purchased!
ReplyDeleteHey thanks...I am teaching the next Saturday as well if that helps, and usually, the presentation on the blog is posted shortly thereafter
ReplyDeleteIf there is any interest around town, I can stay a night to present next week as well
Insofar as shopping for household equipment, I browse first, but you can really do either. Wander in one night or a weekend (if you have time) or call ahead for an appointment...Your choice
