CR's First Look at Samsung Sanitizing Washer

Right on cue, here is CR's first look at Silver Care...and they aren't impressed.

Why, oh why?

Doesn't anyone listen to me and just come out with the US's first large FL machine that runs on 220 Volts???????

You would think that the washer builders could come out with one that could run off a 220V 15 or 20A outlet-that should power the heater and motor and the same time.

Doesn't anyone listen to me and just come out with the U

.......with a movable hot-leg that can switch the machine to 120v in a pinch.

Similar perhaps GE electric dryers of the mid to late 60's that could use either voltage. With electronic controls (*timers* if you will) the cycles /programmes could very easily be adjusted to suit either voltage.

Those GE dryers that ran on 115 took over 2 hours to dry a small load and every salesperson out there warned customers against doing it. I think if you have the money to afford one of those fancy FL's you have the wherewithal to be able to provide the current. It would be interesting if they started designing some of these machines to have an auxiliary temp booster (like they do on professional dishwashers) that could be gas-fired as well as electric. I've considered installing one of those "on-demand" gas water heaters just to provide insanely hot water for the appliances.
