[RE-wrenches] Fisher Paykal

[Dana]

I have run 4 loads on the F-P and have gotten widely varying recordings.
141watt hours up to 585 watt hours for a big load of towels. The Staber has
run from 146 watt hours to 230 watt hours. I have not run enough loads to
get a long term average yet. The Staber definitely has lower power
requirements but I would pick the F-P over the Staber for quality,
reliability and better performance over all. I think my biggest plus for F-P
is the fact I do not have to be the appliance repair man I have plenty to do
without adding that to my quiver of tools. The local appliance folks repair
this puppy if and when it needs TLC.

Anyone have watt-hour data available for the F-P vs. Staber?  I'm replacing
a washer for an off-grid home.

Thanks.
