What a cute little thing!
Thanks Louis.
CM===> 45 x 60 x 85
Inches => 18 x 24 x 34
I had never before seen such a narrow combo with dryer.
Of course, a horizontal-axis machine.
Condenser or vented dryer? HMMMMMMMM.......

Condenser dryer.
Frigidaire TL Washer Dryer
In 1978 Which Consumer Reports we had two Tl Washer Dryer`s tested. These where the Frigidaire & Miele.
The Frigidaire was made by GM in France , Miele obviously Germany.
Frigidaire Spec = H 96, W 45, D 62, 5kg Load , Cold Fill, 850 RPM, Price = £300
Miele Spec = H 85, W 44, D 63, 4.3kg load, Cold Fill, 920 RPM, Price = £699
Both machines took over 2hrs to dry 2.5kg load (17 cotton nappies), Both where Condenser Dryers, Water Cooled.

WOWWWW!!!!!
That's a cute machine!!! How were the test results for these machines?

OK, so the dryer capacity is half the washer capacity. Simple solution: wash half-sized loads so they become full loads during the dry cycle. That's 6 lbs. instead of 12, but who's complaining?
I also like the way the Thomson listing in Singapore specifies power consumption in KWH for a load of a given size. Far better, in my opinion, than the USA method which is based on a typical year's usage. Typical year for who...?
The Thomson appears to use 1.4 KWH for a full load. That's probably something like 0.6 KWH for the wash cycle, and 0.8 KWH for the dry cycle, which is pretty efficient for a 6 lb. load.
And as per usual, having a window would be nice.

Bene, bene! A furor di popolo...
Steve, do you speak italian too?!?!? Good, so you will understand me, when sometimes I wrote something in my mothertongue language
If you are good at french too you will probabily have had a look at the website thaht Louis kindly posted
As you can see French have the most of TL h-axis, they love this kind of machine... they have got washers, dryers, combos... everything with top loading!
Somewhere I read for a personal research, that the cuase of that choise was becasuse of the small dimensions of the apartements in France's town at the beginning of the century ('900); this make French to choise the solution of that kind of machines which without any doubt are the narrowest washers working with that capacity.
I saw that the idea of having a TL H-axis in USA excited you all! I alwasy have said it! You can have a top loading washers (as you are habited to), with the same efficiency (in terms of water usage and electric consumes) that is tipical of the tumble washing system in a front loading washers.
When someone in Italy found something of great which will revolve his/her life people say him/her "Bravo, hai trovato l'America"...
But in this case IS THE EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE!!! I would have to say you "Good you have foud the Europe"! LOL))

Appoint to the axis...
Staber washer is the only (I suppose) TL h-axis in USA. It is a litte different from all other TL h-axis we have been speaking still now.
Staber has the axis perpendicular to you ... the drum rotates on the left and on the right... This was the same system used in some old European TL in the past... I remember my aunt's old washer which was an IGNIS, but there were also some Castor and some Whirlpool like that... they were large 60 cm!!! They had identical dimensions of a FL (W=60 cm, H= 85 cm, D= 54/60 cm), although they were TL.
Now, the most of the TL h-axis, use the axis parallel at you (think to Launderall), the drum rotates back and forth! The pulley trasmission now is not on the back again, but is on the side... This made possible to have dimensions such as W= 40/45 cm, H= 85/90 cm, D=60 cm Even if you put the washer rotated into your laundry, you won't ever get the same dimension as the previous TL washers...THEY HAVE BECOME SMALLER!)
I think that only Hoover with SpazioTop model has a washer with the same dimension of the old TL, but the depth is less (42 cm).
BYE!

Windowed lid?!?!?
Designgeek,
I'm afraid of that but none of the TL h-axis as a windowed lid...I suppose.
Some old French TL has it, but now that's because under the lid there's the detergent dispenser (pre-wash, main wash, fabric softner, bleach dispenser)...

Diomede,
Perhaps you should start a separate thread about the H-axis toploaders. I am a fan of those machines too, but apparently the American consumer isn't. It was suggested to me that the average American consumer would find it too inconvenient to open two lids before being able to load or unload the washer. I guess that is the reason the F&P TL dryer has an automatic system to open and close the drum.
Has anyone seen the Whirlpool Cabrio yet? Enquiring minds want to know!!

Cabrio = Oasis
IIRC, the Cabrio is WP's version of the Oasis, which they build for Sears. There are pictures posted of the Oasis, including a look inside the basket. It is a vertical axis machine.

IMHO, do not think it is the dual lids of top loading H-Axis washers, but product libility that keeps them out of American markets. All that metal and sharp edges on the inner drum/drum door can if one is not careful cause all sorts of problems. Problems a class action attorney would just love to jump all over.
Wow Louis
Thanks for that link what a cool machine but I have to say I was not impressed with John's Calapso when he put in a comforter because of the usage of water. I hope they get water sloshing inside that tub atleast at the rinse!
