Ask yourself these questions:

• Do you want to use around 45 gallons of water per load or 15 gallons of water?
• Do you want tubs made of durable stainless steel or tubs made of plastic or porcelain?
• Do you want to heat 3 gallons of hot water or 12 gallons of hot water per load?
• At an average of eight loads per week, do you want to spend $600 each year to use your washer or just $260 with a Staber?
• Do you want to use 1 ounce of detergent, or 4-8 ounces per load?
• Would you like to wash up to 16 full-size bath towels in one load, or just 8-10 towels with a traditional agitator washer?
• Would you like to reduce your drying time by about 30% (and save more energy) by using a Staber that features a much faster spin cycle?
• Would you like to have total front access to parts and no transmission to reduce your maintenance expenses?
• Do you want a standard residential domestic washer that will last an average of just 12 years or a commercial-grade washer for the home that will last 20-25 years?
• Do you want your tubs to be circular, or do you want them to be shaped so that they create a passive pumping action in the water to clean more effectively?
• Would you prefer a heavy-duty four strut suspension to prevent the washer from ‘walking’?
• Would you like to have two re-greasable bearings per shaft, supported on the front and the back of the tubs for greater durability?
• Do you want your clothes to last around 30% longer because of using a gentle tumbling action as opposed to using a harmful agitator that shreds your laundry?
• Would you like to use around 135 watt-hours of electricity per load to use a Staber, or around 600 watt-hours to use a traditional agitator washer?
• Do you want your warranty to be voided if using solar power or not?

Here is what you need to consider:

• Currently you may be spending over $600 annually to operate your washer if you are doing around 8 loads per week.
• Therefore, if you invest $1,199 in a Staber washer now, it will provide you a return of around $300 each year for the rest of its life. (This does not include the savings in reducing your drying time, and the time saved in having to possibly do fewer loads.)
• This gives you around a 25% return on your investment every year you own it.
