Energy efficient models include [http://www.splendide.com/ Splendide], [http://equator.buyol.com/ Equator] and [http://www.specializedappliances.com/ Specialized Appliances] combinations; and separate units like [http://www.askousa.com/ Asko], [http://www.boschappliances.com/ Bosch] Nexxt, Equator, [http://staber.com/ Staber], [http://spin-x.com/ Spin-X], and [http://fisherpaykel.com/ Fisher & Paykel]. For performance, look for around 10-20 lb loads and water consumption of around 0.7 to 0.9 gals per pound of load.
Some commercial units are available for up to 80-lb loads. They have the additional advantage of stainless steel wash baskets, and zinc-coated galvanized steel construction. Plus, because of their large size they have less tendency to shake rattle and roll.
