Talk, laundry equipment?
Looks like we are in the market for a new set… Our washing machine is on its last leg…. It’s damn old, as I’ve repaired it too many times….drive belts, filters, pump, door seals x3, etc. My mechanic son used to bring home his greasy clothes that clogged the drain….The Kenmore was a good machine!
I’m a huge fan of Meile products. Quality along with incredible customer service! The BUT…..These new Meile sets are a smaller capacity and will not fit a king sized comforter. Pricey but to me worth the money, not sure if we can drop down to these smaller loads…? What’s your thoughts? |

Some of the new machines have a removable agitator. So you can leave it out when washing lightly soiled stuff like comforters and sheets, and put it back in when you have to clean your nasty elderly underwear.
Not sure if Brandon has mandated back the water saving regulations that Trump eliminated during his four years. If so, you'll need a garden hose to fill it. I was lucky to buy during those years of freedom. |

Wife bought herself an LG set. No agitator.
Top load washer, front load dryer(electric). $900/ea, on sale (aren't they always?) Nice units. They auto-adjust everything for weight, no need to select size. Both can be controlled by wifi/cell phone (I don't use it) Can even add steam to the drying process (I never use it). |

I’m only really concerned about the downsizing. This is the last time we hope to need to replace them so money isn’t an issue. Shit, my Meile vacuum was 2k. It’ll suck the hair off your head!
Bought her a Wolf Range and hood combo (13k), and a SubZero fridge (10k). Look at me I’m bragging!!! |

Has to be front loading both washer and dryer to fit the space properly. I think the two are priced just over 4K. Washers are comparable in size it’s the dryer that will drop from 7.5 to 4 cu |

I like my speed queen. It will not hold my thick, king size comforter.

Baby Doll has a PhD in laundry, has had two front loaders and has sworn off of them. She has determined that it takes lots of water to clean clothes.

Interestingly the Meile dryer is 120v and has no need for venting, as it's a heat pump system. Should help reduce operational costs. |

My king size quilt fits. I take my comforter off the bed at night. I take it 1-2 times a year to the laundry. They now charge $25 to wash and dry it. It used to be $15. I don’t know how much it cost if I stay and use their large washer and dryer. I never buy comforters or spreads that have to be dry cleaned. My speedqueen is mechanical.

The all-in-one now has more manufacturers, saves space, it will be my next purchase when our 2-year old washer and dryer die out.

Bought a Samsung front loader a few months back, to replace our LG front loader (which was a POS).
So far, quite happy with the new one in all regards |

Whatever you do, make sure they're Kosher units. That way, if you leave money in your pockets, you won't have to fish it out of the machine. It'll simply be absorbed into it and disappear.

Top load only. I don't care if it means ripping out countertops. Take apart a front load washer that has been used for a year or more.
After the vomit stops, you'll never buy 1 again. |
