I am sorry you all have had poor results. We bought the Staber Washing Machine almost 28 years ago (so far that is $48 per year at current price) because we could easily work on it ourselves (why pay for something you can do yourselves) and it also runs on 12V if we switched from the grid. Also, we bought it because it used less detergent and spun so much more efficiently than other types. I use the Shaklee HE (High Efficiency) detergent and put in 1-2 Tablespoons of soap. (If it suds over, I learn the first time that I need to use less. Soak it up with towels and then don't put soap in those loads.) I do my families overalls and other barn clothes. Yes, you can't overload it (common with most machines)and rugs are a little difficult, but it will spin until it senses that it has spun all the water out. Load it half full and call it a load. I do and have done many, many loads per week (10-15) and have worn out parts from normal wear and tear and I, personally, replaced a lot of parts over the years and they have shipped me the part. The manual tells you exactly how to troubleshoot and each part comes with a how to install. Call the office and they will help you also. Nearly all the parts to be replaced are easily accessible through the front panel. As far as houses, ours is 100+ years old on pier and beam in Ohio. Yes, it does sound like an airplane winding up when it is spinning, but most washing machines worth getting will send some vibrations whether you know it or not. We love our Staber and will keep replacing parts from normal wear and tear and I expect it to last another 30 years. That post is 16 years old. The Staber washing machine killed the OP shortly after that post. |
