Just have to laugh at myself...

Inform her your vacuum cleaner is outdated and inefficient as well.

Hellooooo Dyson futuristic vacuum cleaner

:ventura:

Only vacuum I like is the central vac.

It's Friday the full moon 13th and GLP is competing with washing machines.

Oh.. that would just be cruel :) LOL Honestly, I cringe every time my mother looks at my things. She thinks I'm doing without. I had to talk her out of buying me a $70 saucepan this morning by convincing her I simply didn't have the skills to NOT destroy it. My mom "buys" things to show her affection and while my siblings have always used this to their advantage, I would rather spend the time talking her out of things and enjoy the conversation. God love her, she really is easy to take advantage of. Maybe that's where I got it?

But it makes her feel good to know I'm not using a washer with a leaking transmission. That washer really needed replaced, but I was just going to get a used one. My folks talked me into getting one of these new ones because they use less water and soap and less electricity. I'm all for saving on water! This machine hardly uses any and the clothes are spotless!

Right? LOL!

I like whichever ones don't get clogged/jammed with pet hair....

I'll have to google that. I have a dirt devil canister vac. It's super light, and super great at sucking up dirt. I don't have carpet so all I needed was a long hose, some brushes, and super sucking power to keep up with Kricket's hair attacks. I swear that cat can just poof off a fluff of hair and regrow before the bald spot shows. And it's super fine and hard to get up with a brush, although I brush her every day simply because she likes it. She's so spoiled...and she should be :)

I am on a well, and don't pay attention to how much water I use most of the time. (but I really don't use a lot to begin with)

I mean, it isn't like there is a lack of water on a planet that has 71% of it's surface covered by it!

I only conserve water during a local/regional drought.
(even during the bad drought we had here a couple years ago, the well only went down 8 inches. The pump is 30 feet down.)

Happy wash-watching Eire!

Awww.. thank you, Rabid. *tosses him some bacon*

City water here. I pay a flat rate, but that's 60 bucks which also includes trash and sewer. I've never gone over the minimum amount of gallons, but I don't think I could afford a higher water bill.

I miss having a well :) The water washed SO great and tasted SO good!

shh washing machine the wife is wringing out laundry at the lake .

Bwahahahahahah!



AR... you're a riot!

I have a washing machine like that...It weighs the load of clothing and dispenses the amount of water needed...Love it!...My water bill has actually dropped $10.00 a month after I started using it!...And the dryer is also set up to sense when the clothing is dry...No more guess work on time...

:kipyes:

...And it is all push button!...With indicator lights that tell you when everything is done!

It's totally cool, but kind of embarrassing. The appliances in my house are now officially smarter than I am.

LOL!...I love all the new appliances they have out now...Things are really so much simpler and the guess work is gone!

If only it had built-in speakers to play some lovely music and a little automated spray nozzle to dispense sweet fragrances in the air... Then it would truly be a woman's best friend. : )

If they invent that, I'm there!

Oh I know Right!...My life would be so relaxing!! LOL

don't buy dirt devil cyclone or whatever their called. I have a brand new one and it clogs bad. I put my dyson out to pasture because I removed all my carpet. can't beat a dyson if you have carpet

Nope. I'm really happy with my purchase. Mom and researched low cost vacs for weeks and read comments good and bad before I bought it. This is what I purchased. I have had it for over a year. I wash it out after I use it and let it dry. It's a great little canister vac.

ooh I'll be moving soon, so when I go appliance shopping, I gotta hit you up for advice! it's all so overwhelming.

The music would be limited to the laundry room.

Spotify + smart phone + Bluetooth adapter + sound system + ue boom = music anywhere, anytime, courtesy of the universe's DJ.

I love technology.

Well, we recently replaced the washer and dryer with something that sounds similar to your new apparatus. They offered the washer with or without the see through lid.

I immediately talked Mrs. Tesla out of the clear lid. Citing the fact that it would get scratched and dirty.

She bought my sales pitch and we got the solid metal lid so there is nothing to watch.

Now she is annoyed because there are locking pins on the lid so it cannot be lifted to peek inside while the washer is operating!

See?? If the wash is in the washer, and no one can see it, did it get washed?

LOL

Mom told me that when she was little, she and my Aunt Linda would ask permission to stand on the step stool and watch the laundry go through the whole cycle. Back then (1950), there weren't any safety latches or locks so it went from filling, to churning to spin. They would stand there for hours entertaining themselves by watching the laundry go round. LOL. I love it when mom tells me the little things she did as a young girl. Those stories are priceless to me.

Well if I can't help you, Eekers, I know my mom can. So ask away. If I don't know, she will. She's the shopper in our family. I abhor spending money. No clue why I'm so tight with my pennies. I just hate spending money unless I absolutely MUST. Mom, on the other hand, could use a good dose of my stubborn spending habits. She's far too quick to buy stuff :D

My grandmother had one of those old washing machines that had no lid and the rollers on the top to wring the water out of the clothes. My grandfather offered to buy her a new washer and dryer set, but she didn't want one. She was an old-fashioned country girl and preferred her old washer and hanging the clothes out to dry. Those old washers were dangerous. All 4 of grandchildren got out fingers pinched in the roller at one time or another. LOL

To vary your viewing pleasure you could try washing clothes of different colours....or maybe clothes all of one colour. Why....the possibilities are practically endless.

I think we've all been there

So, what is in today's Episode of, "As the Wash Agitates".

Is it whites, or perhaps, colors, or maybe, just maybe, we have reached the climactic season finale of the dreaded king-size bed comforter! *cue dramatic music* dun-dun-duuuuuuuun!
