Hi Dana,<br>
<br>
The best illustration for low power consumption Horizontal Axis
washers are what are referred to as "apartment sized" units in the
American trade. These European machines are smaller (and
accordingly use less power than the poorly executed (IMHO) jumbo
North American clones. Both ASKO and Miele ( Swedish and German
respectively) make low power and water consumption machines that
spin the clothes at up to 2,000 rpm (last time I looked) to truly
minimize drying. Unfortunately, ASKO has recently adopted the
American marketing approach to re brand a Korean manufactured
American style washer to serve the less well informed consumer and
deteriorate their own brand name. To the best of my knowledge ASKO
still manufacturers their own "apartment size" units. Look at the
gasket that the door closes on in the European models and then the
American version, then judge for yourself.<br>
