I am considering selling my w/d unit separate from the trailer and came here and decided to leave a review.
I had a lot of frustrations about buying a washer/dryer that was so expensive for my RV. RV manufacturers make the laundry closet so small that it rules out virtually every w/d available in U.S. stores. These are 23" (or a fraction under) wide by my recollection. They were virtually the only make that would fit in the laundry closet of my Open Range Fifth Wheel RV.
My manuals are in storage with the RV, so I'll go from memory on any specifics.
Like all/most front loaders, this is an HE washer. You MUST MUST use HE laundry detergent. This is a low sudsing formula. There are lots of settings, much like on any full machine. Compartments for detergent, bleach, fabric softener. I recall the washer uses 14-17 gallons of water. I had a 42 gallon gray tank for the bathroom/laundry. I could take a shower and two loads, but the second load risked filling the tank. Normally I dumped the tank every two loads (also after every two showers). These are unlike combo units that don't have high speed spin cycle and don't vent the dryer. The 1200 RPM spin for cottons gets them wrung out well and easier to dry. The vented dryer is very efficient. Talk to people with combo units and they complain that the whole wash/dry process takes many ours, 4-6 hours some people complain about. That's because they don't have the high spin for cottons. Your cottons are wetter at the end of the wash cycle and the condensing dryer is more inefficient and will take even longer due to the wetter clothes. When the 1200RPM spin hits the entire trailer would vibrate. You always know when the wash is winding down--all the chairs and sofa turn into vibrating seats. LOL
The dryer is great. I use it to unwrinkle clothes. I soaked and wrung a clean washcloth, tossed it in their with some wrinkly shirt and let it steam out the worst of the wrinkles. It dried quickly and quietly. I'm not an overly sensitive sleeper but I would toss wash into the dryer and go to bed with the dryer 8 feet from the head.
At home we have a new HE washer--it is terrible. I have to pre-treat everything. I find food stains on my clothes that the wash never gets out. I realized that while living in the RV I never had that issue. Same clothes, same detergent, same sloppy eater--cleaner clothes. I realize now, the machine machine is much better than the GE we have at home.
