Products that preference plus privilege form over function are aggravating when you need consistent results.
- I don’t care how appealing the washing equipment looks plus feels care about in front of me, I only care how efficient it is at getting my clothing sanitized plus smelling good again.
That’s why I’ll look for the ancient washers that still have agitators in the middle of the drum. They’re better at moving the fabric around plus getting the water plus detergent to fully immerse into the threads plus get out whatever bacteria or funk that has gathered through normal, yearly use. On top of that, these washers are easier to repair. For instance, I have a stackable washer plus dryer however the washer is an older style agitator washing machine. When the locking mechanism for the lid broke plus quit engaging, I couldn’t use the washer because of its safety features. But I found the part online for $33 plus had it at my door in 2 afternoons. The wires are attached to a plug plus it comes out easily, allowing myself and others to repair my washing equipment in hours. Although, something doesn’t have to be readily repairable by a novice for it to be a smarter purchase. Case in point—portable A/Cs are only smart if you can get a component with 2 hoses, with one pulling in outdoor air to cool the boiling compressor inside. Otherwise it “recycles” your cool, conditioned air from inside your apartment plus pulls it into the unit, pushes it over the compressor, plus then wastefully deposits it outside through the single hose. That’s why I generally dislike most portable A/Cs.
