Hello fellow Laundryholics
My five year old beloved, killer Danby is on is last weeks of an extended warranty, and wouldn'tcha know, it sprung *another* hose leak, just in the nick of time! I'm off to consider a second front load washer. I have room to the left of my dryer that has been waiting for a left hinged companion, grin.
Here are my desires...
- Door opens to the left
- H axis
- Heater through all cycles (I guess that knocks out everything except the Bosch Nexxt, which is tilted, and $Miele/Bosch Axxiss$, time to compromise)
- Good suspension
- Figuring about $1,000 with tax/ext. warranty
I have seen threads here discussing the Duet vs. Epic, but not Duet Sport vs. Epic Z. Have I missed anything? They are twins, right? The Epic Z comes in a 400 or 600 flavor. The 600 adds a prewash and stain option (profile from warm, not cold, per the specs). I haven't yet looked at the Duet Sport equivalent twins if there are such models.
The salesman at the store told me that the Epic Z was a notch up from the Sport - heavier duty belt and suspension. I'd like to verify that info and expand on it.
What say the lot of you? I guess my fallback would be the Duet 9400/9600. Tilted drum. I'm a purist thanks to most of you, curses.
