SOLT APPLIANCES

SOLT APPLIANCES Has any member had any experience good, bad or indifferent with SOLT appliances? I'm contemplating the purchase of a front load washer, top brands are very expensive and last a long time, but I'm 89 and longevity is no longer an issue but value is. Alternatively another low priced brand you may be able to recommend? Many thanks..

The SDC’s Novelty Hot Cross Bun Rankings 2024
