Hi: I am looking closely at their hard mount washers. Who out there has Continentals? What do you think? Please give me all your thoughts. Thanks.

I don't have them, but...
They look great and have great curb appeal, especially the bigger machines...
The soap boxes are a bit complicated for the average bear. Watch for soap powder in the bleach and fabric softener compartments...
They have a short first wash, then a bleach rinse, then a spin, rinse 2, rinse 3, final spin. May get some noise from more observant customers that the last rinse has too much suds...
Number of coins to start display doesn't light up until the door is closed...
One of the slower G-force spins on the market...
Dryers are rebadged Dexters..

THIS IS THE THIRD ATTEMPT IN THE USA FOR GIRBAU. THEY WENT OUT OF BUSSINESS IN THE U.S. AS GOLDNER GIRBAU, THEN SOLD TO SPEED QUEEN AS THE WX MODELS. PARTS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. MY OPPINION IS THAT THERE ARE OTHER BRANDS, SIMILAR, WITH BETTER TRACK RECORDS,
