I got the TallTumbler aka 'Space Mates' for my partner, at the time he only had a GE filterflo in a bathroom closet....a full size all-in-one stack was too tall, but separate units were easier to install....they were floor model clearance from Sears, and still cheaper than a 24" stacked portable set....the flat back allowed for close to wall install as well....
they were white, which I think was the only color available from Sears....and maybe Almond...this was considered part of their Specialty line up....
with a well, septic, and an electric water heater, the best option you could choose at the time.....not to mention, full size capacity...this home machine was best for blankets and throw rugs...
I thought the Weigh-to-Save door was unique.....but in reality, you could leave it on low water level for every load, as it really was self adjusting to the amount of clothes.....no dispensers which was a bummer, but all you needed was a shot glass of Tide for every load....
the drop down door was better to load/unload versus these side swing doors....
the only issue was if it hit a major out of balance during spin, one rear corner snubber would jump out of place....I installed a piece of angle iron across the top, which didn't let the unit jump too high and out of place....other than that, it ran flawless for 10 years until he sold the house and left them behind.....
quiet during wash, but you knew when it went into drain or spin, at the SNAP of those solenoids...
the matching dryer had the 'Cross Vane' tumbling...probably one of the best at not rolling sheets and blankets into a ball....
for his next house I got him the Neptunes.....
