These aren't available in the USA yet, but we might be...

I'm new here and don't see a topic on this, so I hope it's not redundant or otherwise obnoxious to create one. I'm looking into appliance designs for energy & resource efficiency at relatively low cost. The conventional answer in clothes washers is the horizontal axis drum, but there are a few...
