Our Samsung WF218 ANW  located no more than 8' from my Pro III has never made a 
peep of rfi. Don't know if its still a current model tho.  Maybe look for 
Canadian/Euro spec models that make less rfi due to tighter spurious emission 
rules?

Am of the thought that Samsung makes their brand, LG, Kenmore and maybe some 
Whirlpool models.

Very ot  here: I cut my internal combustion teeth on a Maytag one cylinder 
washing machine engine,then I learned even more on a  Maytag opposed twin 
industrial laundry engine. Both were two stroke smokers, uh-huh.
