I've just checked out the specs. Says it washes 15 lbs but dries 11 lbs. So you remove 4 lbs of wet clothes before it starts drying?
I'm being facetious here, but have been looking long and hard at the different options, and just CAN'T come to a decision yet as to what to buy, or if we even will. I've done lots of research online about what people do to help with the wrinkling, and there are many ideas, all mostly sound like a great big pain in the butt and like they don't really do the trick anyway. Guess it depends on how much time you want to spend tending your laundry. And how much you hate
ironing!
I have too much to say on this subject, and won't bore you all with it. BUT I would like some input from people who do own one of these combo units. I think the wrinkles result from the high-speed spin cycle. That, and the lack of room when tumbling dry. So, question: do some of the cycles spin at a lower rate, not squashing the clothes against the drum so much? Or would that then leave the clothes so damp that they'd take forever to dry?
I'm looking forward to reading what people have to say. I know this whole matter has been addressed quite a bit already on these forums, but ... maybe some new light?
I'm wondering how many have bought their machines but kinda regret the money they spent and still find themselves going to the laundromats some or much of the time. I'm on a permanent site and the park laundromat is just a few yards down the way.
I know I'm having a difficult time deciding, but if money were no object, I'd sure go for it. But it's very costly for our budget, and then after the cost of the machines, there's the additional hydro bill for the hot water and running the machines. If money were no object (oh, wait, have I already said that?) I'd get the washer/dryer and use it for lighter and smaller loads, and go over to the laundromat for jeans, sheets & towels.
Pardon my rambling, please. If anyone has anything to offer, I'd love to hear it.
Does anyone know of a product that would be good to use to clean the drums of the public washers & dryers before I use them? Something that would quickly clean and sanitize them? Does anyone here bother doing that?
Thanks again! and take good care! Lorna
