Considering selling my Whirlpool Duet HT

I just went thru the ATL craigslist, searching for "Maytag washer"... There are a TON of machines out there. You should have no trouble at all finding a good machine. Let us know what you do...

Those are the same Duet's I have. The water level can be adjusted on those machines. My Duet uses about as much water as pictured in your Neptune. The clothes are dry in about 45 to 50 min's. Depending on how large the load is. The bleach thing is a pain if you don't use a measuring cup to pour. I have no problem at all with the lint screen.

I do like the way your Neptunes look, if ONLY it had a window

Mark,
Is your dryer gas or electric?

David---The detergent you use makes a big difference in cleaning. Both Fab and Arm & Hammer detergents are mediocre at best.

I tried liquid Gain with Bleach Alternative because I liked the scent. Unfortunately, there was a noticeable difference cleaning ability when compared to my usual detergent, Tide 2X With Color Clean Bleach Alternative. Gain didn't remove stains the way TIde does.

You'll be hard-pressed to find a detergent that cleans better than Tide 2X With Color Clean Bleach Alternative HE. Buy some and stick with it; your Duet will do a great job.

It's electric and it vents through the roof about 15 feet with one 45 degree turn. I'm sure it would dry more quickly if not for that but even with that, it's still very good I think. I have to use an electric leaf blower every few months to blow out the venting so it doesn't end up clogged up.

Oh Jim

I forgot to mention. I can't believe how pristine that dryer drum looks for that unit to be that old. Mine is stained faded blue in parts of the drum from jeans. Every dryer I have ever had has done that if it's white inside.

David,

If you ever want to drive down to the Hamilton Mill exit and see the Speed Queen FL washer in action, let me know.
