Staber Washers

RUN LIKE HELL ! I have had 2 of them and they were the WORST washers I have had in 40 years. No Service, parts cost mega$$$$ Cpmputer board problems . motor controller problems. Drain problems motor problems. Is there anything I Missed ?In less than a year we sat them out and let the junk man have them.. I have no idea how they are still in business.

 

[funguy10]

Yes. You neglected to mention fill switch problems, timer problems, belt problems, temp solenoid problems, cycle selector problems and of course bearing problems. I think Staber only sells online because with all the design problems thier washers do have, if they sold in stores there would be a class-action lawsuit and the company would be in deep Doo-Doo. What washer did you replace them with?

 

[funguy10]

Also, the Staber washer does not have a computer board. All of the control panel components are mehanical. There is an electronic motor control board however.

Gosh, you had to post all of that information from the Staber website when you could have just given the link to the website. What an amazing waste of bandwidth.

 

[askomiele]

Waste? My waste is really off-topic isn't it?

Well that waste is't that bad... Wasting heat by forgetting to close a door, or waste of money because of a governement who refuses to lower their taxes on gas of gasoile because they can't manage to make no debts that's a waste... A bargan 'BELGIUM' nice people, nice food, gigantic debts and political people who refuses to co-operate like the 'peuple' is doing everyday. Now for 299.95!!!!
Now that's a waste of bandwidth! ;-)
(srry but I don't want to hurt anyone... )

Well, it is nly a thought

I lookied at the Staber before i bought my Miele. The lady at Staber told me that i could do all of the service myself. Frankly, at the moment that I bought my last set, I was not interested in servicing anything! I just wanted something that was "bulet proof" that would not have to be depenable. I could not even change the headlight on my new car because it was behind the battery, I'm not going to work on my washer, what a pain. The main reason that Staber told me that they are not nationwide is distribution. She said it is expensive, i believe it. They said that they were not interested in it, that they were doing just fine they way that they were, thank you. I would still ike to play with one sometime anyway. I have never seen one in person.

 

[funguy10]

So it is because of distribution purposes that Staber washers are not sold in stores. If they say it is too expensive then that gives away the fact that Staber is a family-owned company.

The models we had did have a computer board

It got wet twice and was replaced by them both times then they sent a piece of plastic to put over it. The last time was just before I junked them! You would think they would have found a better place to put them besides under the fill valves that leaked from day 1

 

[funguy10]

A computer control panel? Is that what you mean?

 

[sudsman]

control panel

No , On the machines that we had there was a board that controlled the then 2 speed spin and temp. Then it connected with the motor controller board.. They did away with the next model year and the machines then only had 1 spin speed. The models we had had a 1200 spin and a 750 spin.. The 1200 beat the machine to death!

Am wondering if building anything larger than 5kg (11lbs) just causes more problems than it's worth with top loading H-axis washers. IIRC Miele and others stop at that range, and there seems to be no one in any rush to develop any thing along the uber-sized units simliar to Staber.

There are commercial H-axis washers, but they mainly load from the front, and, IIRC don't offer super high rpm final extraction speeds.

 

[foraloysius]

The famous V-Zug Unimatic H-axis toploader has a capacity of 6kg.

Besides that overhere in Europe some brands have 6 or 7kg topload H-axis machines. Not that the drum is much bigger than the 5kg models though...

 

[dj-gabriele]

Usually the drum is 3 to 6 litres more than a standard 5kg machine.
Candy as an example says that the drums are 56 litres and hold 7Kg of laundry but I can't remember the model number now.

Brandt

have a Family TLHA model...which reaches 7,5 Kg but is not the usual 40cm wide but 45!

My Ignis is said to be a 5Kg capacity but honestly I can fit in it more than my 5Kg Whirlpool...so it could now be called quitely a 6,5Kg capacity washer
