After J came home from his "trip" we decided to upgrade to a washer that I don't have to run only on Gentle cycle...which in the old one if you let it spin on any faster speeds I thought it was going to break through the wall. Along with the noise, I felt like I was washing all the time to keep up with the piles in the laundry room. So after ordering one and canceling it (after I did a little bargain shopping) we brought home the Darth Vador of washing machines. I got a REALLY good deal at the AAFES on this one since it was a floor model (10%) off, a coupon (10%) that could be used with any special going on, no tax since it was AAFES and AAFES prices are lower to begin with. I love getting a good deal!So Darth is a Whirlpool Cabrio which has an enormous top loading 4.5 cubic capacity (partly due to the mini agitator on the bottom) which makes it big enough to fit a king size comforter in...which I have tried a couple times already...and I can get about 3 of the old loads into one washing. It has the same external size as my old washer so it fits nicely in the same tight spot we have in our utility room.
It has a countdown time which is super nice and a bunch of really neat features that I am sure will all be used. The boys really like to stand on their benches and watch it clean our clothes, thanks to the the glass window top that it has...it is kinda neat to see what it is doing to our clothes. Luckily our old dryer can handle the larger loads as it was a better dryer, rated good enough for commercial use. The best part....one load a day and NO PILES on the laundry room floor!!
