That washer is the best washer. My mom, my dad, and my grandma have the same one.

Harder on the very same clothes I was washing in the old washer. Some junk, some not.

Now available at local Dollar Trees; =)

Almost had me. Can’t dry your clothes in the rain, dum dum.

we have plenty of water. Sorry about you West Coast drought places. Shouldn't run my life though.
TVA power from rivers. Well water.

Hard on WalMart thin Junk clothes maybe. We have no issues.

WOW NICE!

I get that. The only brands that have those same functions are LG, and Samsung. I'm like screw that. They are half the price but I'm not gonna use LG or Samsung appliances

Funny how different the markets can be because here you'll be hard pressed to find one that is not a heat pump dryer.

Why do appliances need to be aerodynamic, anyway?

Consumer Reports weighs heavily on features and initial quality but it seems to me their ratings care not at all about longevity.

I still have my grandmother's Maytag sitting in a basement somewhere lol still works

I repair appliances for a living and no one in our company works on them. also went out to one by accident and customer said we were the 8th company they called trying to get it repaired. theres simply not enough of them in my market to get trained on them. also cant justify spending 100+ hours of training for a machine you will run into once or twice a year.

Ouch. I was I interested until I saw the price! Half that may have been worth it.

Lucky Ducky!

That's an insane deal, last year we bought a house and I think it was about $2400 our tc5/dc5 plus a multi month wait :/

We shared our results with Speed Queen, and the representatives were not surprised. McDonald even told us that the company coaches dealers to tell customers not to use the Normal Eco cycle and to use the Permanent Press or Heavy Duty cycle instead.

That's in the article you quote.

Why would you want to do this? lol

3d print a little cap for them in the rain so they don’t get rusted! Now we’ve solved it

Not quite. They met the government standard to sell in the US and added a "deep fill" option button that basically overrode it. I can't find anything to support what you said about the perm press override, this NYT article is like the many, many others I read supporting this point and not touching on yours.

Yeah I was just making a joke (but unless you have a thigh gap, which is rare and weird, you have chafing). It's best to wash jeans as little as possible; the washing machine exaggerates any spots of wear and tear. Most dirty spots can be washed out by hand and left to dry, a washing machine is only necessary when the whole garment has been thoroughly soiled

Yeah gas and electric Dryer's that don't have crazy digital screens Are all easy to work on. I would say 80% of the issues you would run into are fixed for less than $100 in an hour of your time. Maybe another hour? Looking up the issues and ordering the parts. Most of the time there's even a local repair shop that has the parts.

I always say get a nice Fancy efficient front loader washer. Then get a bog standard big ass dryer with auto sense and without digital screens. A dryer unless it's a heat pump. One can't really be efficient. Besides, the ability to turn itself off when it detects the clothes are dry. It gets its efficiency by your washer. Ringing out all the water to where it doesn't have to do much work. So spend the money on the washer. I personally prefer LG washers with direct drives as they are actually pretty easy to work on and generally reliable and come with a 10-year warranty on the drive

I'm not fat and no it's not when I cut the washing on the jeans it took way longer to appear. There's so much pulling on the machines that it messes pants.

That is so awesome!
