How Does Staber Compare With the Traditional Top Load Agitator Washer You May Be Currently Using?
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?
Even though it still may be working, just think about the costs of using your current washer-it all adds up! You can now see why a Staber washer makes so much more sense compared to a traditional agitator washer.
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 $1,099 in a Staber washer now, it will provide you a return of around $340 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 30% return on your investment every year you own it.
In conclusion, it is a fact you pay utility bills and detergent costs to use a washer. Thus, if you reduce how much money you are spending right now with your current washer you can pay back the entire cost of our washer really quickly.

FAQ
How will I see the savings if I am getting my water from a well?
The savings you would see if you were using city water would be noticed in a dollar amount. If you are getting your water from a well you will be saving around 30 gallons of water per load, which can be more valuable than the actual money being saved. By using less water, you will also decrease the load on your septic system/drain field. If you think about it, 30 gallons per load adds up very quickly throughout the year.
How do the clothes get cleaner if it uses less water and detergent?
The System 2000 has a unique design that allows it to clean more effectively than circular tubs. The patented tub design creates a passive pumping action that literally forces water through the clothing. Because of this turbulence being created by the shape of the tubs and by using less water, it requires much less detergent.
What is the tub capacity?
The tub capacity is 2 cu. ft., holding up to 16 full-size bath towels. This is due to being a top loading tumble action design; the entire tub space is usable. Most people will be able to wash up to 50% more laundry per load than they can in typical agitator washers--if they are not overloading their current machine.
What is the length of a wash cycle?
A normal wash cycle will be up to 32 minutes long plus fill time, which will be partially dependent on water pressure. This includes a 15-minute wash, two 5-minute deep rinses, a 5-minute spin, and a final 2-minute fluff/index. Using pre-wash will add 5 minutes to the cycle time. Normal wash times can be set between 1 and 15 minutes.
What are the machine dimensions?
The System 2000 is 27" wide, 26" deep and 42" high. The vertical height of the lid is 55".
Is there a water level control?
The System 2000 has a normal and low water level setting. The low setting fills to approximately a 4-gallon water level, while normal fills to approximately a 5.5-gallon water level for each fill.
How many different cycles are there?
There are 3 possible wash cycles: normal, permanent press, and delicate. The cycle controls several operating characteristics of the washer including wash RPM speed, frequency of reversal during wash, pause time between reversals, and final spin speeds.
How many water temperature selections are there?
The System 2000 has 3 wash temperature selections: hot, warm, and cold. All rinses are done in cold water for energy saving benefits.
Do you have a matching dryer?
Not currently. However, any manufacturer's white dryer would complement our washer. We recommend that the dryer have dampness sensing capability and not rely on time only to determine end of cycle.

Sun Frost Refrigerators
Refrigeration is typically the largest consumer of electrical energy in an energy efficient home.
However, the energy efficient SUN FROST refrigerator makes powering a home with photovoltaics or other low output energy sources both feasible and affordable.
In a home using utility power, energy consumption for refrigeration is typically cut by a factor of 5. Along with energy efficiency, the Sun Frost offers other amenities not found in conventional refrigerators, such as food-saving, high humidity storage, quiet operation, and an easy-to-clean interior.

Refrigerator Features
EFFICIENCY - PLUSEFFICIENCY - PLUS The SUN FROST refrigerator employs an array of design innovations to achieve its exceptionally low energy consumption. The cooling system on the SUN FROST is top mounted. This configuration reduces energy consumption several ways. The heat generated by the compressor and condenser (black coils on the back of many refrigerators) does not re-enter the refrigerator and also with a cooler running condenser, the efficiency of the cooling system is increased.
QUIET--NO HUMMM The Sun Frost RF-19 and F-19 use a quiet and highly efficient fan to help cool the condenser; on other models, the condensers are cooled passively. Because of the efficient design of the Sun Frost, the compressors used are much smaller and produce correspondingly less noise than those found on a conventional refrigerator. These features make the Sun Frost much quieter than a conventional AC refrigerator.
.
EFFICIENT DEFROST SYSTEM Defrosting a Sun Frost is a simple process. Frost build-up in the SUN FROST freezer is very slow because there is no air circulating between the freezer and refrigerator sections. The ice which forms in the freezer collects primarily on the ceiling. When defrosting the freezer section, the contents of the freezer may be transferred to the refrigerator section so they remain frozen. After the refrigerator has been turned off for about twenty minutes, the ice is easily removed in large pieces. There is no mop-up because the ice does not need to be melted, only separated from the flat ceiling.
SUPERIOR STORAGE CONDITIONS Sun Frost refrigerators keep food fresher by maintaining high humidity. This prevents freezer burn and wilting caused by water loss in food. Since there is minimal water loss in foods stored in a Sun Frost, foods often last two to three times longer than in conventional refrigerators. In typical refrigerators, water, which is part of stored food, is transformed into ice on the freezer's cooling coils. This process results in the dehydration of fruits and vegetables, increases energy consumption, and accelerates frost build-up. In a conventional refrigerator, high humidity is achieved by storing food in airtight containers which creates high humidity conditions, but cuts off the food's oxygen supply. Without oxygen, plant cells break down more rapidly, which decreases shelf life. The SUN FROST allows you to store food in breathable containers, such as paper bags, often more than doubling storage life.
FEWER SOLAR PANELS The Sun Frost refrigerator typically reduces refrigerator energy consumption by a factor of five. The accompanying cost of the solar power system is similarly reduced. The SUN FROST RF-16 12 volt DC model consumes 20 KWH per month, or an average of 53 amp hours per day. By contrast, conventional refrigerators typically consume about 110 KWH per month or 305 amp hours per day. Producing the 110 KWH needed to run this refrigerator on a solar power system would require an investment of around $12,000 in hardware, batteries, and inverter. A Sun Frost will reduce this cost by a factor of at least six because of its increased efficiency and the elimination of inverter losses. Inverters convert DC battery power to 120V AC.
RELIABLE The cooling system of the SUN FROST refrigerator contains a minimal number of moving parts. Both the DC and AC compressors incorporate highly reliable, hermetically sealed, brushless motors.
The efficient thermal design of SUN FROST refrigerators also contributes to their reliability. The top-mounted cooling system runs at a lower temperature than most, which prolongs the life of the system's lubricants and reduces mechanical strain on the compressor. The cooling system should provide well over 15 years of trouble-free operation.
COOLER SUMMER KITCHEN During the summer, a typical refrigerator adds as much heat to your kitchen as a 1000 watt heater running five hours per day!
The energy needed by your air conditioner to remove this excess heat will be about half the energy consumed by your refrigerator. Increasing the cost of running your refrigerator by an additional 50%.
By producing much less waste heat than a conventional refrigerator, a SUN FROST makes your kitchen more comfortable and reduces the cost of air conditioning your home.
MORE SENSIBLE USE OF KITCHEN SPACE Sun Frost refrigerators are designed to be mounted on a cabinet. With the refrigerator raised, all stored food will then be at a convenient
height. In addition, a cabinet beneath the refrigerator provides much more accessible storage space than a ceiling mounted cabinet. The cabinet could be built by the homeowner to match other kitchen cabinets or supplied by Sun Frost. Sun Frost manufactures a 13 inch high cabinet for the Sun Frost RF-16 and RF-19 refrigerators and a 24 inch high cabinet for the Sun Frost RF-12. Each cabinet has two large side-by-side drawers.
A Sun Frost refrigerator can be placed against a wall minimizing floor area utilized. It will not have to be moved for either cleaning or servicing.
CUSTOM FINISHES Each custom built SUN FROST refrigerator is available in more than 100 colors of high-pressure laminate and many natural wood finishes. The spacious interior, made from sturdy fiberglass-reinforced plastic, is exceptionally easy to clean, with no exposed ducts, tubing or inaccessible corners. The adjustable door shelves can accommodate half-gallon beverage containers, while adjustable glass shelves line the refrigerator section.
