Such a nice washer!
Thanks for posting your pictures.
I just love the shape of the wash tub. Looks very well made.
Wondering how much water does it use? The topic for all front loader fans here in the USA is how high does the water go up the door when washing and rinsing.
Thanks again for posting your pictures of your machine. I would love to see one in action some day.

Response to Brent-Aucoin

THE WATER GOES UP JUST A LITTLE BEFORE THE MIDDLE OF THE DOOR WHEN USING THE HIGH LEVEL AND YOU CAN BEARLY SEE IT WHEN USING THE HALF LOAD. I NEVER CHANGE IT FROM HIGH SINCE I JUST LIKE DOING WHOLE LOADS. I WILL TAKE SOME VIDEOS AND SEND THEM LATER. ANOTHER THING THAT AMAZES ME, ARE ITS SOUND. THEY ARE VERY PECULLIAR FOR THIS BRAND. WHICH EVER CROLLS YOU HEAR, EVEN THOUGH YOU´RE NOT WATCHING AT IT, YOU´LL RECOGNIZED THEM FOR THEIR SOUNDS. HOPEFULLY VIDEO CAUGHTS THE SOUND ON THE DIFFERENT STAGES.
 
Re: Welcome Ultramatic52:

Hi! Ultramatic52, welcome to the AutomaticWasher Club Site. What an interesting, great looking Washer. I've never seen a basically "Flat" top area with the Controls on a Front-Load Washer before. Can I assume that it is on Rollers, seeing that you seem to normally have it sitting to the right of your WP Dryer. "BTW" are your WP Washer and Dryer the Calypso or Catalyst Models? I remember seeing those Consoles but I don't remember which Models had them.

Thank from me as well for sharing your Pix's of your Crolls Washer, as well as of your WP's too.

Happy Crolls and WP Washing and WP Drying, Steve

P.S. Mind if we know what general area that you live in of Mexico and at least your actual first name...
 
Re: SactoTeddyBear

My Crolls lays on the concrete floor but its not too heavy to me moved away. I moved it to take some front pictures and inside pictures. By the way because is not too heavy ,although it has 2 huge heavy rocks inside, sometimes when it gets out of balance, in runs away from its place. Hoses are the only thing the keep it from going to the garden or all around the house. This machine doesn´t have the technology to rebalance the load, so it won´t stop spining unless you turn it off or the cycle ends.

I live in Mexico State which is 30 min away from Mexico City. My real name is Cesar.

I´m sorry I forget to talk about my Whirpools. Washer is the Catalyst model and Dryer is Senseon model. Calypso washers and just garbage, they actually get clothes dirtier than before washing. No detergent is removed from clothes after several rinses and after a couple of loads you`ll begin to get your clothes ruined. The ones I owned have 3 timed dispensers for Detergent, Bleach and Fabric Softener just as Crolls, so you just load everything (clothes, liquids and so), turn it on and forget about returnig to the washer until the chime rings to indicate it has finished. They are also beautifull. I will post some pictures of the inside later.
 
Question

Does anybody know how the Maytag Neptune MAH9700 performs and its quality? I´m really thinking on buying one since we have King Size and Queen Size comforters that don´t fit in our Whirlpools neither Crolls. I´m tired of paying to laundromat where they doen´t clean comforters as my Crolls will if they would have fitted.
 
Thank for the water level talk. Sound dramatic!
I love the shots of your back of the washer with the back off.
Man! That is a huge motor! Looks like it could really handle a huge load!
Thanks for the pictures!

That Crolls sure is a cool-looking machine! They do have some interesting washers in Mexico (single tubs and semi-automatics), but I never had any idea that brand existed! It must be FUN to watch on the high water level...I can imagine the splashing!
 
Re: Brent

It does handle pretty huge loads comparing to whatever actuall compact front loader. The only thing missing is higher spin speed. It spins at 430 RPM, so I can bearly put the load I wash in it in the Whirlpool Dryer. Before I bought the Whirlpools, I used to have Magic Chef machines which were the best machines I could ever own (huge capacity, lots of features, superb reliability) but even though, the motor of the dryer was blown out because of Crolls´ low spin speed. This was after 5 years of minimum 2 daily loads. Magic Chef washer never needed anything. AWESOME MACHINE!!!!! I just bought new ones because I wanted to have LED control panels and the only choices I had at that time were Whirlpools which I don´t regret.

Changing the subject, although it sounds to use a lot of water it only uses 3/4 of what the Whirlpool will use for only wash cycle for a full load (26 gallons + 26 for rinse + 26 for optional additional rinse). This means it uses aprox 22 galons when you wash from letter A to letter G which includes a 1 hour presoak with constant agitation ("A" for very dirty clothes), 12 min prewash ("B" for dirty clothes), 1 hour aprox of First Main wash (because of heating delay and depending on the temperature you´ve chosen(letter "C" for Normal Whites or Colorfast)), 35 min Second Main wash without any heating ("D" for color clothes), 2 rinses of 8 min each with spin ("E"), 1 last rinse for fabric softener of 4 min ("F") and 8 min final spin ("G") giving us a total of 3.25 hours aprox. I only use letters "C" and "D" because for my loads is all I need and it just uses 17 galons till the end. 3 tablespoons of Detergent and 1/2 of cup of Fabric Softener
