Consider getting a European model..

I was always confused doing laundry in the US. Warm cycle or cold cycle?

I have 30C, 40C and 60C depending on what I'm washing. I probably have more programs, but never use them. For pillows and stuff I adjust spinning, from 1200 to 400 RPM. And I use special short, low rpm handwash program for wool.

(Side loaded ofcourse, that way the dryer can be on top)

I'd love to, but doubt it would work. US washers meant for home use run on 120V and that's what the electrical outlet will be delivering. I would assume Euro are 220V or maybe higher? Also the 50/60Hz difference might matter.

Top loader uselessness is my pet peeve.

Front loaders (just like one in video) wring clothes as they spin. The result difference is day and night.

Top loaders don’t have seals that can fail (and smell), and they also wrong clothes when they spin at the end. The clothes experience about 200g, the extra 1g isn’t a big difference.

End spin just removes water. Wringing as it washes (clothes drop from top to bottom) dramatically improves cleaning.
