The dryer is the 27 inch model, not the 29 inch one with the filter on top. The 27 inch dryer was always a bit more expensive than the 29 inch with the top filter. Still way too overpriced IMHO.
X2. Unless the new administration rolled them back already?
Not yet...once they're done rolling back pollution standards to ensure we get as much exposure to chemicals as possible, I'm sure they will tackle washing machines. :-/
Meaning the current admin have bigger fish to fry than allowing consumers to use more water in their washing machines, unless it means more money in their pockets of course, which it doesn't. The DOE and EPA work under the same umbrella basically.
This commercial model does contain different major parts inside. Comparing a 3.6CF Maytag which is equivalent to this model. Both machines have different part numbers when you compare say the gearcase in the non commercial unit against the commercial unit. The following major parts are different:
1. Motor
2. *Gearcase*
3. Mode shifter
I'm sure there are many other parts within the commercial unit that are different mainly due to them being more stronger.
something like a belt or pump for a GE or Whirlpool.....the same part can have upwards of 4+ part numbers, don't know why, but changed as the years have gone by.....
