Your washload in pics!

[robliverpool]

Speaking for myself I actually use less than the recommended amount of powder than it says on the box. I don't use concentrate powders or liquids so maybe it looks more than it is plus the average size washing machine now is around 7-9 kg so one would have to use more powder.

*drool* a HARMONY!

Please Malcolm (mrb627),

if you could just add a few more pics or even one or two videos (is that too much to ask for?).

I LOVE this machine, have loved it from the day it came out to the market.
Always wanted to have one (if I only knew whether it has an internal inverter board to feed the motor its own voltages and currents and a 12 volts (or similar) inner mains adapter to feed the electronics.) -THEN it would be easy to convert it to 230 V 50 Hz Euro juice.

Nevertheless, could you please give me some (non-transatlantic freight costs = read virtual) stainless steel whirling impeller fun, can you? ;-)
Centrifusion! Infusor action! (GE lingo) I MUST have one before I die.
Charcoal body and shiny interior, now can it be any better?
Please!

*so curious here*

Joe

If you ever come near Groningen, give me a call. I have an LG Turbodrum, which is a somewhat smaller variation of the Harmony. And bring laundry!

My Kenmore

I have used SA8 liquid laundry soap for the past 14 years. I never use a full cap, only up to the first line. I also do not use bounce or dryer balls. I did a very small load of darks, and am impressed with the amount of water this machine uses. Prior to this set, I had a Samsung with Diamond drum, and I do miss that feature as it seemed more gentle on my clothes. Looking to purchase a second machine, which will have diamond type of drum for sure.

time

it takes 45 minutes to quick wash with the extra rinse feature.

 

[wrungout]

lots of water

Pretty impressed with the amount of water this machine uses. The clothes get a good warsh.

D Pets Load

Today it was the pets (cats and guinea pigs) wash, this consisted of 3 bath towels, two large hand towels, 4 tea towels, a sweatshirt and two polo tops, these are items that the cats sleep on or are used for the guinea pigs, the guinea pigs beds are washed by hand with liquid soap.

D on my Hoover 1100 is a 60o degree wash and it reaches this (60.9) to be exact it is an absorbant and heavy load when wet, but the hoover handles it with ease with plenty of room for "drop and flop" as Mike puts it

First pic is the dry load

Your garden looks amazing. I'm on my fourth year in a new build house and my soil is rubble under the grass and it's bad enough trying to keep use grass alive let alone anything planted. Any tips?

All hung out

 

[wrungout]

all hung out!

I like the looks of that hotpoint, very nice! and the fact you can hang out clothes already! we got another dump of snow again *smiling thru clenched teeth* yesterday!

I haven't had my clothes line up in about 2 years as we did a back yard changeup. I still miss it, but was not able to use it until about May when all the snow was gone and ground was dry.

 

[wrungout]

Apologies!

sorry, I am unable to edit my posts, I evidently combined my like of that hotpoint, with your clothesline. I now see that I cannot read what kind of warsher you have. Sorry!!

I have a Miele W1613. The outside line space is shared between three apartments although there is only myself and the lady on the ground floor who use it. I love hanging my laundry out whenever there is good weather.

 

[wrungout]

cool clothesline!

I have never seen a clothesline that criss-crossed before, maximum use of space. Pretty neat!

thanks for saying what kind of warsher you have as well. I am thinking of investing in a 3037.

 

[paulc]

If you want a washer that's going to last then I highly recommend a Miele, however if you get bored of your washers after a while it's maybe not for you

Harmony

This is a very old thread. The GE Harmony that I posted years back has been sold and replaced a couple of times over. Since that pair, I have had the following:

1) LG FL set.
2) Miele w3303 set.
3) Speed Queen FL set.

To name just the new machines...

Malcolm,

I've quite enjoyed seeing this thread again, it's been funny seeing friends machines that have long since been moved on elsewhere. I'd forgotten you had a GE Harmony.

 

[mrb627]

Yeah

The Harmony was a fun set. I liked the extended spin option on the washer and the dual motor dryer was super fast.

Drying Space

I am impressed with your drying area aswell...........my line is not long enough at times........

I remember a flat I had some years ago had a drying area with 4 great big rotary lines, it was really good

I haven't a proper picture but Mat in Cardiff has a really high washing line that is probably 20ft and is excellent for getting the washing up into the winds

Is that high level water showing in your miele on a wash or rinse or both
