My new laundress. She started today. So much fun to watch. So cool... she never fills with water, just a gentle waterfall and tumble every couple of seconds. Very little sudsing. At first, I was sure something was wrong with her, because the clothes didn't seem to be getting wet enough. But after a time, she obviously knew what she was doing. I don't know how she does it with so little water (and 2/3 the amount of detergent, which was highly concentrated to begin with) but she did a great job. Clean as a whistle. Pictured below... running during the initial empty machine wash...
Her fancy dashboard. Good for playing Star Trek.
Here is where the detergent goes. A little drawer located on the control panel, up there on the
left, where "Whirlpool" is stamped. She has her own cute little feed
drawer. I just pour it in, put the clothes in (almost twice the amount of clothes as my old washer), turn it on. She sucks down the soap, sprays a little water, then gets busy. Love. Her.
Below her skirts lies this nifty drawer. That half-lid lifts off entirely, and I can store more underneath.
The dryer. He's a beauty.
And yeah, I just ripped that piece of plastic off the dial. He's drying the first load now.
Tomorrow, I may wash every large blanket we own. Twice. Is it sick that this excites me? Good night.
Almost exactly like my washer and dryer! Also, Seventh Generation is the only detergent and softener that I will use. I like the eucalyptus/lavender scent the best. I'm glad that you're happy with your new stuff.
I just had to close my mouth to keep from drooling. haha. It's good to see that you're enjoying your new appliances!
@soNOTcool - I have to use "no fragrance" because otherwise it irritates Ed's skin. I'm almost finished my bottle of softener and then I'll be switching to Seventh Generation for that as well. Slowly switching my cleansers too.
I'm jealous!
If you haven't tried them already, I totally recommend the EcoVer dishwasher tabs. THEY ROCK. Also, I list lots of recommendations for various green and eco-friendly items on my other site ... cleaners, food, make-up, etc. I hate it when I try something healthier or greener, and it sucks.
I've used the "no fragrance" SG too, and it's allll gooood.
You Make Me Melt
Oh my God, I am soooooooooooo jealous.
It's fun to get new gadgets
Wanted to add that some of the reviews are under linkage, and some are under kibitz.
