How Many Loads A Week??

[pturo]

Probably 5 runs a week on the Maytag A408

2 People household, but I am a very picky lanundrer, so only about 3 loads per week are to top capacity,(sheets) the others are medium capacity depending on color or weight,but winter with more sweat pants and heavier garments probably another 1 load per week. I use the A107 for tighty whities and soaking of bleached things and the A408 for big loads of color things. But I would say 5 loads. If I used to full capactiy would be perhaps 3 loads a week, but I sort like the devil like I was taught by my mother. You just dont wash ecru terry towels with black t-shirts just because they are non whites, and synthics should never be washed or dried with all cotton pilling garments. I think we make too much about capacity in the US: Size is important, but not to the detrement of a quality outcome. Allegedly. Who wants a 20 lb washer that you put everything in, all fabrics, all colors,the king size comforter, the mattress, the living room rug in? Laundry is personal. Get the members of your household to do their own. Send the big things out.

4~6 loads weekly with Duet HT size-4.0

Depending on if we have bed sheets, rugs or dog's bedding to wash. We use our towels twice before putting them in the dirty clothes. Prior to that with the 2 year GE we had we washed 6~8 loads per week. We have been using the Duet HT since November and noticed our city water bill has dropped about $10.00 dollars.

Who wants a 20 lb washer that you put everything in, all fab

I think that was Hoover UK's thinking when they switched from the 11 lb 'Ecologics' to the 10 lb 'New Wave' and 'Classica' models.

I seem to remember reading about "smaller quantities being washed more often." Thus the smaller drum, initially.

Whether or not that line came from Hoover, is a moot point. It might have been magazine blurb.
