Top loader HE washer with agitator ...AND DRYER combo

[thomasortega]

The machine has two blowers

one of them is heated and is what dryes the clothes.
the second is only for the "air blade" on the bottom of the tub. it gets the air from the tub (already hot)and make the clothes float.

The machine is as silent as a standard front loader washer/dryer, maybe a little bit more noisier due to the air flow on the exaust, but it's not annoying.

I can say it's even less noisier than a standard dryer, because there arent so many buttons, zippers and other hard surfaces surely banging on the drum on every tumble.
of course there are some of these noises, but much less as the whole load isn't tumbling 100% of the time.

And during the wash, the only noise one can hear is the water falling from the dispenser during the fill and the turbulence caused by the agitator.
During the spin, only the water from the clothes being sprayed on the tub and the pump cavitating (it turns on and off several times to reduce even more the noise).

During the ecorinse (spray sinse) it's obviously more noisier too because of the water falling straight on the clothes and spraying randomly almost everywhere

The motors can't be heared at all, even if you run it next to your ear and there's absolutelly no transmission. (one double motor for the two agitators) and other to spin), all of them direct drive.

The machine also has a balance sensor and uses the drying movements to balance the load during the spin if it's out of balance.
