Hi Miami Beach The washer is 120V. The different model numbers seem to just be newer versions - but the specs on the latest versions seem indentical. We are happy with the washer. It does NOT have an internal water heater - so you will have to be sure that the water reaching the washer is hot. I'm thinking of adding a simple instant water heater, about $200 like the kind commonly used under a kitchen sink - to make sure that washer always draws hot water when it wants to. Right now - I tend to just run a nearby tap prior to wanting a hot water fill. The washing machine seems to wash quite a bit better than our old top loader did. It's not the quiestest washing machine - but it is hardly a bothersome noise either. The sounds are less "boomy" i.e. less "bass" than what a top loader would produce - likely due to less volume of water or mass. Apparently the Maytag branded version has automatic temperature control on some water temp settings - which means is basically runs water down the drain for you - until it gets hot - then fills with water. Personally, I prefer my idea to install an adjacent, simple, easy, electric instant water heater. They maytag version was recalled and ultimately discontinued in Canada, as for some reason, Maytag's version had problems with potential fires from the motor - did not control itself as well. As a fix - Maytag simply sent people GFI outlets?? This according the web - and a good service tech. Speaking of service tech - my complaint about the pair would be about the dryer - not the washing machine. The dryer is slower - but I expect this of a compact dryer. It also has a very tiny heating element. The plus - it never gets too hot, so less damage possible to your clothes. My real complaint about the dryer is that the sensor simply does not work right. I set it to "damp dry" - the least dry setting, and the dryer still completely dries out the clothes - and keeps drying for about 20 minutes after the clothes are already completely dry. I have had the first dryer completely replaced, the second dryer a sensor replaced all under warranty - but they continue to act the same. Serivce tech who was over told me they use inferior sensors in the asian machines - more of a temperature sensor than a proper humidty sensor. Now with a reno going on - they dryer is in an unheated room - temperatures around 44 to 55 Farenheit - so perhaps when it is back at normal room temp it will be okay. Since we got the pair for such a ridiculously good deal - we have decided to live with it if need to - and probably switch to a manual timed dry to prevent over drying. Samsung customer service in Canada has been very good - they have been quite willing to address the problem - a cuple times - even though so far - no success. We'll have to wait and see when the room temperatures are back to normal. Our prior bottom of the line GE full size dryer, was able to accurately dry clothes, even in these lower room temperatures. As to the size of the machine - we can pack as much or more than we could is our extra large old Kenmore top loader - so no concerns there. The king size front load machines are quite unnecessary. They have only become so popular because customers IMO in North America, can't seem to grasp the concept that a front loader really does have a lot more room inside than what LOOKS like a comparable sized top loader. Good luck!

I am interested what you find out because former owner had W/D in upstairs hall (kids) bath and we moved it to basement since there was no room to actually store detergent, fold clothes, etc. Now we are remodeling and are struggling to find a place on first or second floor since we know it's better for resale (though we may not be selling for many years) Would it be on the order of $5,000 to run new plumbing into a closet? Is it worth it when we already have the plumbing set up in an alcove in the bathroom? Is it really better to take up MBR closet space than to put in a kids bathroom? There's absolutely nowhere on first floor we can fit a W/D.

People who have the small Electrolux set sure seem to love it. I'd like to have the opportunity "play" with one someday. I think it would be an ideal washer/dryer set to install on the main floor my mom's home when going to the basement for laundry is no longer practical/safe for her. I was not enthused about getting a condenser dryer after hearing similar horror stories of long dry times and hotter running temperature. Both may be true, to an extent, but the proof is in the pudding. I have stopped (!!) using fabric softener on clothing. I want to use it -- and I love the smell of Spring Bloom -- but it's just not needed. Clothing comes out so cared for and perfectly dried, that I just can't believe the hotter running temperature can be doing anything bad. I still use a few drops of FS on bath towels.

Totally helpful comment<---- sarcasm. Obviously the OP's isn't, hence the reason for posting. In principle, knowing that they are only off by less than 5 inches from the standard dimensions could be helpful. That's likely just about the amount that a creative contractor could shave off. Open the walls, turn the studs by 90°, use thinner sheetrock, and maybe just push the wall over a tiny amount, and you are there. Then maybe fill the walls with spray foam to give them back some of the rigidity that they lost in the process. In practice, this is going to be prohibitively expensive unless the room was intended to have a full remodel anyway. So, yeah, you are right. That's not super helpful. And that's why I originally suggested looking into getting Miele washers/dryers. The higher purchase price is easily made up for by the cost savings of not having to completely gut the laundry room and remodeling it. Sounds as if there are a few other more compact alternatives, though. Good to know.
