not cheap but very well built and easy to repair when they do go wrong
these machines have no heater and rely on the hot water inlet to get the wash temp correct

Well that is very interesting! A bit of searching didn’t turn up that model in the UK but found this https://www.cateringhygiene.co.uk/shop/maytag-3lmvwc315fw-classic-top-loading-15kg-washing-machine.html which seems much the same? Looks like it could be just what I was wishing for — thank you!
