<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I have a
client that just purchased a Fisher – Paykel, F-P claim it is “inverter
friendly” and the washer has great specs, runs up to 1000 RPM in the
final spin. And it runs pretty fine on a SW4024. Purchased @ a local appliance
center, so if it needs repair you are not your own repair person. Cost was
$600+ and is ½ of a Staber at $1200 plus freight, which I used to sell. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I will
probably replace my Staber when it dies with one of these. I did not run a watt
hour meter on it but will at some point to get a usage and will report back.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
