We have stacked slpendide units. They are bolted down so they don't move around. Wife likes the stacked units better than the combo unit we had a few years ago. Just 2 of us so just small loads are ok. Wife can throw a load in and we can be off doing things we want to do instead of sitting in laundry room 1 day a week.
I have a splendide combo, that was just installed last month when I picked up my H/R Alumascape. I didn't have a chance to see how it came packed from the factory and if there was extra packing for transportation purposes. My theory is that a unit designed for use in an RV may have special dampeners in it to absorb bumps when you travel but a compact unit made for home unit would not requite anything special because it would not be expected to be tossed around. I assumed that when I bought the Splendide it would be designed to handle bumps better and be more durable
Splendide has also been a good company and good customer relations. BTW did you get the drain pan installed under it? We did have a leaky relay in our combo unit when it was new. The pan saved the floor. Had a pan installed under my new unit also. Well worth thee money.
I bought the 2009 Alumascape from Happy Days in FL andI purchased the washer new. Happy Days had it installed by the time I arrived, if there is a pan I don't see it. I have done 10 or 12 loads of clothes since I got it and I am always in bed near the washer when I am using it. I think I would notice a leak if there was one but I will investigate buying a pan when I get home. I always turn off the water supply when the washer is not being used so there is little chance it will leak when it is turned off
