Splendide 2100XC washer combo

My wife and I recently purchased a Heartland Bighorn 3735 EL. We would like to put a washer and dryer in our rig. The dealer recommends the Splendide 2100XC.

I did a search on washers and dryers and found conflicting data and old post.

I guess what I want to know is; are the Splendides quality machines and worth the purchase price?

I have not Googled the wash and dry times yet, but I was told that I need a combo as the stackables will not fit.

Any opinions?

Thanks,
John
  • Thanks for all the replies. I am planning to use the dealer to have it installed and buy brand new. I seem to have a issue with used anything.

    Also, I am not the sharpest tool in the shed so I am better off paying the dealer to install it, just in case. I am planning to have the vented one put in. In fact, the vented one is even cheaper than the non vented.

    I think they only carry Splendide and that is why they offered that brand.

    I will spend some time on the Splendide site and see if I can get a bigger one. Although I don't think the dry times will bet that big of a deal, but it would be convenient to do a larger load. I can picture my wife hanging close up to the dry. We are in Colorado and seem to like the southwest. Stuff dries fast.

    I found mine on Craig's list for $450 slightly used. Here are some I found in your area and the XC2100 vented is a good machine.

  • Are they quality? You bet they are. So far in 10 years I have had to replade one door handle. Thats it! Yes, they do take time. Expect 3 hours wash and dry. But so what? We start a load in the morning, go about our business and take dry clothes out when we get back. The key is small loads.
  • I have the Splendide 7100XC, its been in use for 7 years, have not had any maintenance issues. I been full timing for the past 3 years and the washer is used 2 times a week. Washing times are average but drying times are long. You should remove clothes immediately when drying stops to prevent excessive wrinkles. Capacity is small but ok for 1 or 2 persons. It will not handle large bulky items. It works for me, better than the laundry mat.
  • I've been fulltiming with the Splendide stackables for 4 years now with no problems. Mine were factory installed and yes, expensive, but I have no regrets.

    Make sure to use the HE laundry detergent as these use very little water.
  • I have the Splendide setup, It works very well. If I were to put a new set up in I would look at any domestic appliance, Sears, GE, Whirlpool etc. that fits in the opening strictly because of warranty possibilities.
