The main other option is Asko who also makes 24"w 220v washers (although check that the plug fits into your dryer - Asko used to use 20A rather than 15A plugs IIRC correctly). Anyway, either Bosch or Asko would be superior to almost any 120V washer, not only because you already have the electrical connection, but because they can run off only a cold water line if needed, and more important, have powerful (about 2300 watt) internal water heaters that quickly heat the water to higher temperatures that wash better, whereas 120v washers will have only a slow 1000 watt heater, or worse, none at all and completely dependent on your external water heater to provide warm or hot water to the washer. And if your water tank isn't really close to the washer, the incoming water that fills the wash cycle will be residual cooled water that's been sitting in the pipes cooling down, and your clothes won't get very clean. So yeah, the Bosch is probably the best choice.

Thanks Lee,

I agree it makes sense to just look at the 220v options.

I took a look at the Asko and checked the specs. The depth is 23-7/8", so 3/8th less than the Bosch, It's also 220v/15a but I couldn't verify the plug type. On price it looks like it would about $350 more than the Bosch.

I also looked at the Miele, which has a depth of 22-1/2", but the price would be 2x the price of the Bosch.

At this point I'm thinking I'm best off just just getting the Bosch and dealing with it sticking out a bit. If anyone has any other suggestions I'd love to hear them.

Thanks,
