Washing Machine/ Clothes Dryer
The washing machine is an Energy Star certified appliance that uses significantly less water than a regular washing machine. It was manufactured by Staber Industries of Groveport, Ohio, and ordered through Dovetail. In a large load, it uses about 16 gallons; a standard washer would use about 35 gallons. The machine is able to use significantly less water because it is a top loading horizontal-axis washer. It works like a front load washer where the clothes are spun through the water in the way that a dryer tumbles clothes. The washer does not need to fill up as much because the clothes all pass through the water constantly. The washer is not front load; there is a cage in the unit that can be opened from the top and locked in place. The model number for the washer is HXW2304. Although it is not an Energy Star appliance, the dryer was also purchased from Staber Industries because it is a local product. The dryer is mostly used during the winter when the clothesline is difficult to use. The model for the dryer is HXD2304E.
