I bought my wife a new washing machine

She blew up the old one a week ago and we spent the last few days shopping. We settled on an all in one washer dryer. The washer and dryer are in the same drum so no need to change the clothes from one machine to another. It is also a smart device and as such she can control it from her phone. We brought it home ourselves and wrestled all 350 lbs of it into the basement hooked it up and to our surprise - IT WORKS!

The reason for automatically opening the door? It may be to give remnant water vapour a chance to escape rather than stay trapped in the clothes.

@ArishMell That and it airs out the drum and seal so the mould doesn't grow.

@hippyjoe1955 I leave my washing-machine slightly open for the same reason.

I never connect any device to my phone. Don't fall for the internet of things scam. Make no mistake eventually they will control your appliances with that phone. Theyll monitor everything and decide what you get to use and for how long.

@smileylovesgaming Seems kind of funny that someone would warn me about the internet on the internet. Not to mention if someone were to take over the washing machine I could simply unplug the modem and do the laundry.

@hippyjoe1955 it is kind of odd. Why the world would someone take control of your washer and keep u from using it.

@smileylovesgaming That too. Some people are paranoid I guess.

I’ve seen videos of tiny homes with those in them since they don’t have much room for both a washer and dryer.

@cherokeepatti It depends on the size etc etc etc. They say that a 10 lbs load takes about 2 hours. We did a huge load of towels and it took 4 hours but it is so quiet you don't even know it is running. My wife gets a notification on her phone saying that the wash cycle is over or the drying cycle is over. She wanted to wash some clothes late last night so she started it about 10 PM. We woke up this morning and the clothes were clean and dry and the door to the machine was open.

@hippyjoe1955 why would the door be open?

hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M

@cherokeepatti The machine does that automatically. It keeps the machine clean? I am not sure what the reason is.
