The Washer & Dryer

Greg also bought me a new washer and dryer. Apparently our "laundry fairy" keeps complaining about the Montgomery Ward Washer & Dryer that the previous owners had left. I had to wash the clothes 2 or 3 times to get them cleaned and the dryer...forget about it. It would be more efficient to use a hair dryer.

These are AWESOME! We have a very narrow laundry room, so I couldn't get a front loader. These 2 are just as efficient as the front loaders. You have to buy special laundry detergent for them! I went out to Albertson's and spent $18 on detergent, where I usually spend about $10. I'll be going to the commissary from now on for that. If you use regular detergent, you will have so many suds and the soap won't wash out becuase you use only 20 gallons or so of water, whereas your standard washer uses 40. This washer will do a king size blanket or queen comforter!!! That was my main thing. I had to be able to wash my own comforters. You know how it is with dogs. They seem to mess up the bedding 1 hour after you get it back from the cleaners.


Yeah! I love my new appliances!!

Those are really nice. Can I bring my laundry over? Why the special detergent? I wonder what condition mine will be in? I have only used them for 4 years, but have had them for, hmmm........since 1998. They have spend most of their life in storage.

You will save so much money in detergent. I can go months now without buying detergent! It is amazing the difference...the clothes smell better too!
