Gordon, thanks for helping push me into getting that machine! Even though we still haven't closed on the new house (probably next week), we've managed to "break in" and we just dropped it off in the garage today since we don't have any room here at our vacation house to store it. Of course I had to plug it in for a "spin" and it purrs like a kitten! Hope to have a formal wash-in next year. Will keep everyone posted.
