<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>
