The newer sibling of the first Equator introduction - the EZ 1000 - this unit carries on the award winning pride of the original. Whatever your situation, the convenience of having your own clothes processor is always a good thing. Especially because you save space horizontally (unlike the bulky duo of a separate washer and separate dryer), you save space vertically (unlike the crammed stacked washer/dryer setup). If you have existing machines you are looking to replace, the Equator Clothes Processors are a boon. They go a long way in reducing your electricity bill as well as your water bill.
