I am struggling to find a good, stackable washer/dryer set.

It’ll be front-loading. My front-loader does an OK job, but it can take up to two and a half hours to wash a load. (I don’t get how that’s energy efficient.)

Heat costs lots of energy. But running the motors is very energy efficient. The manufacturer has traded-off agitation and time for heat. They don’t care that you have to spend all day doing laundry. This is a case where the green energy fetish has used legislation to force the public into compliance; rather like florescent light bulbs. The Greenies don’t care that every person must pay hugely for the Greenie fetish.

This annoys me so much I’m thinking I”ll buy old used washers and dryers and just learn to repair them. I swear, if the next government doesn’t override this insanity I’ll be very upset with them. (Including dumping the EPA and drilling for oil in our back yard. Heck, they can start by drilling in my back yard.)
