Now you know how I felt with my mom. She saw me use what was the equivalent to a GSD940 when I built my house in 1985. She said none of what I was putting it would get clean. Potscrubbered and she was impressed. Then after moving here and knowing the Hotpoint Potwasher just a wimpy imitation of a real GE, I got the GSD1200 May 1987. She was amazed and impressed everything I threw at it. She was chomping at the bit to replace the 1974 Rotorack. So they went in got a GSD1200 just because I had one. All she every used on it was Energy Saver or China Chrystal from the time it was installed until they moved out of the house in 2002. This is the same woman who went from a 1954 TimeLine gas dryer and 1956 GE 9-10 pound top loader to a Norge15 washer December 1963/1964. Of course I was obligated to do full loads and had to dry 2 loads in the dryer. Rule was no more than 45 minutes dry. February 1964/1965 the match to the DispesoMat washer arrived--The Wrinkle Out dryer with what I now know had the modulating gas burner. So now we had a dryer that could handle washer size loads. Same rule, no more than 45 minutes dry. (Mind you the dryer has automatic regular and automatic wash'n'wear dry cycles). She never used those all the way through. With thatmuch bigger load, it didn't dry fully after 45 minutes. Laundry would be strewn over lamps, chairs, you name it for it to finish drying. When I did laundry, I'd always used the auto dry cycles. Regular full loads took about 55 to 60 minutes to dry. She'd use the Wash'n'Wear dry cycle part way through to dry and then switch over to the end of timed dry. She didn't use auto dry cycles on that dryer nor the BigLoad GE dryer acquired in 1978. And I kept extoling auto dry. It wasn't until she got basically the same Maytag Dependable Care dryer with electronic control dry that she began using auto dry. Either her friends heard they used those cycles or she heard it on tv or radio it was more efficient to use auto dry cycles.
