That is what I hate about my fairly new washer. Takes forever to stop. Especially if it started sensing mode and the drum turned a little bit. I just want to toss in a sock I missed.

1000+ thread count isn’t real, and thread count is a marketing scheme, don’t buy into the hype.

Also, pretty well known that Egyptian Cotton is a scam. There have been tons of lawsuits over it being mislabeled and in fact, a vast majority of it isn’t even from Egypt. It isn’t better than Pima, Supima, or upland Cotton.

Are there any goose-down comforters that are actually like the picture and not deflated?

Yeah funny thing about brands. Someone, somewhere has already had a bad experience. It can be very hard to judge exactly how reliable a brand or specific model is using only hearsay. The key is the actual service rates and statistics by companies that actually do testing of appliances, as well as the people who service them regularly. Otherwise, you'll find it impossible to navigate the sea of complaints and horror stories.

I would try using less, even on a large load I only fill the cap to the 3rd line out of 5. If that doesn’t work try switching detergents, I’ve used All and tide ultra with excellent results

Great find!

Ours handles fake costume princess dresses by the busload without issue.

I recommend a trip to /r/appliances, where you will find everyone from consumers to seasoned repair people telling you expect the problems to start any day now, followed by terrible customer service and stupidly unattainable parts. Sansung is likewise despised for the same reasons.

Never heard of it, I'm in EU so probably that promo is not available here, can you give me a link?

I put in the recommended amount per the cap on the detergent. The brand is "Xtra"

Oh yes. I shop worn ware weekly.

I have a Patogonia Farmer John fleece, resplendent with back flap and stirrups for your feet.

It is the last word in warmth skiing at zero or riding la motos at sub 30.

Walking the lunatic chocolate lab this evening I had the thought "I've been using Patagonia gear since the early 80's... " I'm 60 now, and have most of the gear from the way back...and the Patagonia gear just flat lasts and serves well, year in, year out.

I have a TR7. I put the detergent in first. I haven’t had a issue with the clothes staining and I don’t dilute it either. What brand detergent are you using and how much?

I have some Patagonia from their wornwear site and you wouldn't know it was used. Lasts a long time if you take care of it.

thank you

ah

Don’t know if you’re a fan of Starbucks, but they have a gorgeous and well designed glass water bottle that I’m saving up points to get for free right now. Just thought I’d mention it.

What type of detergent are you using? Try liquid detergent, pour it in the empty wash tub (do NOT use too much — very common to use too much detergent), and then start the water fill. After the tub is approx 1/4 full of water and dissolved the detergent, then add the clothes.

If it is “steel” for $15 I can guarantee you it is either aluminum or tin.

That’s because speed queen uses designs from 30 years ago when you had to basically pre- dissolve your detergent.

They are kind of like Toyotas. Reliable by virtue of using old technology for a million years without any changes, after the rest of the industry has moved on. That’s why the 2023 4Runner has a 5 speed transmission and gets 18mpg and the tr7 can’t handle regular detergent lol.

Few years back the pump literally fell off of my family’s Samsung washing machine. Flooded the laundry room, and took us hours upon hours to clean up. Water even got into the bathroom, which was the next room over. Samsung refused to repair it for free. We ended up junking the thing, and telling Samsung we would never buy another one of there products. We had an LG washer next, and towards the end of its life, it had similar issues, but no pump falling off, and causing a flood. It did however reek of mildew and dankness.

> Have you tried titanium?

this was my first thought as well. however titanium does have a taste, you can go to a camping store and lick a spoon if you've not tried anything titanium before.
