Drake,
<p> After having 2 Stabers in the last 25 years, we
were having too many problems with the second one (mechanically
was OK but the brains were not working correctly and board
replacements are pretty spendy. So we ended up with an LG model
# WM3500CW as of 3 months ago. Made in Vietnam.<br>
</p>
<p> I don't remember all the energy and water specs
right now but being the nerd, I'm sure they were the best. I
had already bought 2 of these for my rentals and have had no
complaints. The clothes really come out dry. The clothes
washing master here says she likes it so there's a gold star.
Only thing I don't like is its not made in USA. I never asked
Staber but maybe there's an extended warranty option.</p>

Hello Wrenches,<br>
<br>
For years, is seemed like the best off grid washing machine was
the Staber. I've read of complaints about cheap plastic parts
breaking. The price tag on this machine is very high for
something that isn't mechanically solid. <br>
<br>
Are there any good options for an affordable, low power, low
water usage, resilient, repairable machine with a minimum of
electronics on the market? <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Drake <br>
