Washing Machines
The only thing more important than your laundry being clean is you being clean.
Not all washers are true washing machines.
What is the difference between a true washing machine and a clothes washer? The simple answer is that one is built to handle a wide variety of objects that are made of fabric-like material. Clothes, sheets, blankets, rugs, jackets, comforters, stuffed animals, pillows, shoes, and other such items are made using threads of fabric.
By contrast, the clothes washer hits its limit at sheets and some light blankets. Trying to make them do anything more is a quick way to need a visit from me when the washer gets sick from you feeding it something it couldn't handle.
Now the easiest way for you to tell the difference between the two is to check if the post-2007 high-efficiency washer is a front loader or not. Simply put, the front load washer design is built from the ground up to be a high-efficiency washing machine, while a modern top load washer is an old-school washing machine frame that has been converted over to high efficiency.
Top-load washers worked just fine for all kinds of laundry above and beyond just clothing and the occasional blanket, but that was because they could completely submerge whatever you put in them due to how much more water they used. With today's high efficiency standards, top load washers just don't have the kind of water volume needed for that method of washer to be practical anymore.
There are and have been exceptions to this rule, but such machines are always either unique or expensive. Something else which we went over in the Untold Facts about Modern Appliances: the actual price of high-end residential in your laundry room, washers start at $1,100.00 and go up to $2,699.00. Try to keep that in mind the next time your intrusive thoughts tell you it’s okay to go with a three-to-four-hundred-dollar P.O.S. washer on sale.
