More on Washing Machines

Steve, I’ve got a question about the combination clothes washer/dryer you show in the Beowulf video. Is it vented or not? And how happy are you with its performance? Would you recommend it? Thanks, Kyle, Colorado Springs, CO

Hi Kyle: The washer/drier is made by Splendide in Italy. We bought it through West Marine. It has stood the test of time – 28,000 miles – and we are just now replacing it. It is vented, but dries very slowly, with only a few items in it at a time. However, we’re told that the new models are much better at drying (they spin at 1100 rpm compared to ours at 5/600). We’ve been searching for a replacement and have decided to go back with the same company. For a combo unit which runs on 110/120V, it is the only game in town we’ve found. Regards-Steve
