Staber Frequently Asked Questions What is the tub capacity? The tub capacity is 2 cu. ft., holding up to 16 full-size bath towels (measuring 26" x 42"). 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. How much water is used? Using Department of Energy standardized test load criteria, the System 2000 uses 16 gallons of water for a normal wash cycle, and 12 gallons total on the low water level setting. What is the length of a wash cycle? A normal wash cycle will be up to 32 minutes long plus fill and drain 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 52". Do you have a matching dryer? No. Any manufacturer's white-colored 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. 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 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 selected 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. Does the System 2000 have a built in heating element? No. How do I purchase a Staber System 2000?
