Thanks for reading my daughter's story. And Rachel, thank you for doing it, because I have not had anything to talk about lately... until NOW. Also, I love you.
So let me tell you about what a wonderful thing happened a week ago. In 2009 I bought a washer without an agitator and hated the thing from day one. It was a top-loader, which may have been why it didn't work very well, but our clothes came out as if they hadn't even been washed. I bought other products that got them a bit cleaner, but a person shouldn't have to do that. I know many people who love high-efficiency washers, but mine just wasn't much good. However, I made the best of it. Every once in awhile it would put some code up to let me know something was wrong, but I would do one thing and another and get it going again.
Finally, it gave me a code I couldn't figure out how to fix, and the code supposedly wanted me to call a certain phone number. I have had to put up with that lemon for fifteen years, so I had Cliff take me to Home Depot to get a new washing machine with an agitator. Of course, I had to wait a week for them to deliver it, but we had enough clothes to wear until it showed up.
Apparently this machine, a Maytag, is also a high efficiency model, according to the information that came with it. I had assumed that HE meant no agitator. So it still doesn't waste more water than is needed on the clothes, just like the one I got rid of. But I was amazed when some kitchen towels that had stains from long ago came out of the washer without stains. Yes, it was a good day.
It doesn't take much to make my day. Like my young goat, Louise.
I purchased both items a year or so ago. Since I live alone, not on the farm, etc. I didn't need one that had all the options, just me and extra sheets/towels when I have company. Mine are the lower priced GE models. Like you, I was surprised how bright and clean the clothes looked and love, love the precise fill.
ReplyDeleteI don't want bells and whistles either
DeleteI have a washer with no agitator. I’m afraid I’ll die before it quits. I hate it.
ReplyDeleteExactly how I've felt for years.
DeleteI have an ancient machine with an agitator and want to pre-decease it.
ReplyDeleteAt your age, you should get yourself a new washer. You are still YOUNG.
DeleteI hate my no agitator washer. I bought it thinking it could wash comforters. It can, but it doesn't get anything clean. If this washer ever dies, you can bet the next one will have an agitator!
