Washer is being delivered!

[Daniel]

So excited! Except for one glorious month, I've been doing my laundry by hand, all of it, always, at my last place and here.

This GE Hotpoint (with Hotpoint written in orange- I'm easy to please) will be the in the same category of "not reliable, not durable", as the Amana...

BUT

This one can actually be set to fill to the top.

This one has a lid lock that only turns on during the final spin.

I bought a 5 year H.D. warranty for $150. Why not?

I got my shop vac. I got my air filters.

I'll unbox the shop vac, read the instructions, vacuum out the area under the grate, wash the floor air intake grate and the metal grate that leans on the air filter keeping it in place, outside with the garden hose, and vacuum the water out of the Amana this weekend.

Phone delivery same day.

Yeah!!! ️

What a relief this will be. Washing by hand would be very tiring.

Although we have moved away from dishwashers and wash each piece as we use it instead. So much easier and faster.

Give AI some time. Maybe you'll hear "thinking by brain would be very tiring" in the future.

I did that for a month when my dishwasher broke. Seems easy except after dinner. Then it doesn’t feel like ‘wash it as you use it’. It feels like cleaning up after dinner but with no dishwasher.

Left to her own devices, like when I travel, Mayla hand washes everything like that despite the working dishwasher.

If my washer dryer didn’t work I’d probably just keep buying new clothes.

Just kidding. But I’d save it up and go to a laundromat once a week or so.

Daniel, your life just keeps getting better. That’s great.

Fluff n fold is what I use traveling. The ones in NYC are great.

My dishwasher broke the second week I lived here. All the major appliances were the lowest price point machines the owners could buy at Lowe's. They had bought all of them 4 months previous. They left a folder with the receipts.

These people left a burning lightbulb that was broken in half and an air filter that hadn't been replaced in at least 2 years.

They clearly bought the appliances because they needed all them for their final 3 month vacation.Theynhad more money than sense.

I decided I didn't want to replace the dishwasher.

I'm only one person and don't host holidays and don't have dinner parties.

I'll probably let it just sit there forever.

I would upgrade my new clothes washer and buy a matching dryer in the future.

I'm like to have a flat top electric range.

Much easier to clean.

I won't but one.

No need.

What I did is spring clean the stove top, and order replacement heating elements and drip pans.nThey should be delivered any day now.

The range is a GE and its fine.

The refrigerator is a Whirlpool and it's fine too.

So 2/5 major appliances broke on me, 4 months after they were bought.

But yes. Washing clothes by hand is physical labor. No doubt.

Mik, Thanks.

I used to use a Chinese Laundromat in New Orleans that picked up and delivered. Sometimes.

Amazing service.

Of course I should have been taking my laundry to a Laundromat every time, but I admit it. There were many times in my youth when I chose adventure over practicality.

Not anymore.
