Sanitary Cycle
When I upgraded from the Kenmore 'apartment size' washer/ 120v dryer I got the Duet HT washer and matching gas dryer. They fit in exactly the same footprint at the Kenmore 'apartment size' units they replaced but have so much more capacity. No more 4 towels at a time. I got the Duet because of the hi temp sanitary cycle and the heavy duty cycle that also uses the built in heater. Towels, whites, and bed linens get either the heavy duty or more frequently the sanitary cycle. Yes, the cycles take a while but I just start it and let it run over night. Not too sure that I like the idea of using cold water for those items. In fact I have never used a cold water wash in the over 5 years that I have had the Duet Twins.
