Laundry and me is a "Shotgun Wedding".

I don't remember. Maybe 6 months to a year or a little longer.

When I got my Electrolux front loader I would work out in the basement while it was running and observe all its nuances per cycle with different option selections.

Learning detergent dosing with load size. How it balances. What happens when it can't balance. How it deals with suds lock. How much is too much or too little of a load. When it adds bleach to the cycle.

So many things to observe.

One thing I don't like is if you choose the Steam option it deletes an extra rinse so you only get two. This is on the older 70 series (WaveTouch) models.

Laundry is NEVER a chore, I love it.

I just know all my washers cycles and how it's supposed to work.

Well except for those that live to do laundry, how long? lol

When I buy electronics, appliances, cars, etc, I usually know more about the product than the sales people because of all the research I do. This time my one goal was to get a washer that allowed me to use as much water as I wanted...and the placard on top of the machine in the store said "Use as much water as you want". Altho that's not entirely true and it took upgrading to the next larger size (4.5 to 5 cu ft), I'm happy with the water levels that I can get to. I don't do any washes on auto.

PDFs of both are download and is easy to find what I'm looking for.

Grand kids were over for the weekend and I rounded up all their dirty and clean clothes to wash.

I like to lean over the washer to watch it washing. I need more excitement in my life ;)
