laundry

Would wipe

I own one other person and we have quite a small apartment and it's a combo of dryer (proper dryer not a washing machine with a "would you like your clothes superheated, creased and smelling of rubbershit?” option) and clothes horse and must admit the latter is tbf pretty much a constant fixture

"I own one other person"

I'm glad you let your slave wear clean clothes.

Rumbled

Is it possible the author is confusing the spin cycle for a dryer function?

Nah, those new combo dealies are apparently dreadful at properly drying (and washing, I hear) yr shit.

As to our machines being smaller - i'd never wash a blanket at home anyway, that sort of thing's for the drycleaners surely?

Not in my land.

Also, Trayce? Some of us machine wash our pillows.

Oh god, I had forgot all about that horror ... I posted on facebook or something right?

Yeh I remember seeing that and chuckling.

(But I do do it)

Y'alls water and power bills must be massive.

Recently moved into a new apartment and was really excited about having laundry on premises for the first time in many years. My mood was deflated when I realized the machines are small, the washer loads from the top, and with the dryer you can't independently set heat level and drying time (like if you want medium heat you have to have a 40 minute cycle). Now I miss my old laundromat with its spacious machines, front-loading washers etc. where I could do more than one load at a time.

Fwiw I grew up in a pretty nice American neighborhood and still line-dried all my clothes until about 1980. So did the next-door neighbors.

If I line-dried where I live right now everything'd end up covered in bird shit, so.

tumble dryers are pure decadence, first thing to get banned in the new world order

respect Lee626, truth bombs

Also, getting back to the original article.. I have lived in London for about 10 years and have literally never seen a combo washer dryer. Is it possible the author is confusing the spin cycle for a dryer function? Its purpose IS drying... but only to the extent that you can hang your clothes up without them dripping all over the floor.

I had one in Ireland until the last one broke and i had it replaced with a straight washing machine. I think we're in the same market at least at the moment as the U.K. I think I saw them over there too.
