Wow you must be really strong picking up both a washer and dryer! And to make $175 doing it, nice job!

Perhaps not though a lot of BIFL stuff costs a lot unfortunately.

I got my washing machine for a steal. FWIW, I also got my tumble dryer on a 0% deal for four months

They may refer to it as "reverse action" Essentially this

I have never noticed any difference in wear to clothes using the old Speed Queen over a modern-day front loader other than the front loader lasted about five years.

I have that same set, been going strong 5 years now.

I have that washer. It's fantastic. You got a steal!

We've had the Miele heat pump dryer for a couple of years now. The ability to plug it into a standard 120v outlet is fantastic.

I love speed queen!!!!!!

Seems like you know what you're doing, but for everyone else here, you will never get your carbon steel as nonstick as Teflon.

You can absolutely get a great seasoning that works for whatever it is you want to cook, but it will never be Teflon.

My mom has the washer. I never had any problems with clothes getting ruined, it's a great washing machine

Amazing how little these have changed over the years. Including the price. I feel like they should be much faster and cost $50 tops

Damn… where’d ya find that STEAL of a deal. Congrats!

Are you guys going after hydro now? Next you'll be complaining about the higher death rates from solar and ecological damage to bird populations from wind.

Now you should go buy a lottery ticket!

>'d make sure your Speed Queen has the ability to reverse the direction of the drum.

why?

Sometimes durability comes not necessarily from ruggedness or from some abnormally high standard of quality, but just from being so damn simple that there's not much to go wrong.

A great Youtube video on these simple no-frills rice cookers, and how they work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSTNhvDGbYI

Hydro power is not as good as you think it is…

Damn that is a serious find. Those units run forever. I’ve never come across one for less than $1k let alone a set for under $200. Great job.

I've recently started doing this with my newer machine. Less lint appears in the dryer's trap.

3d print an enclosure to prevent your clothes from getting wet!

Ha! I still have a TI-85 from 1992 and it still works.

Autocorrect makes me shave my head sometimes

Never wanted to throw something in after the cycle has started?
