I decided to wash Canyon's car blankets on Saturday morning (I needed to play with the vintage machines in Ogden, what can I say...) so I figured this would be a good test for a certain 63 V-12 Filter Flo.

The load was one old double sheet, a thermal-style blanket, and an old bedspread. All of which are used in the car in a vain attempt to keep the dog hair at bay...

Even minutes after the wash started, the lint ball is building...

Almost fully-grown at the beginning of the rinse cycle.

Full enough?? I'm used to it now, but that water level looks awful high...

Of course this HAD to be the moment Hubby got up and was wondering what the hell I was doing in the basement. His observations: "It's broken. It's going to flood the basement. Get rid of it." I think my work for trying to convince him that this washer and its matching dryer should be installed in town is going to be a challenge... LOL

The lint ball at the end of the rinse cycle. Mostly red fuzz from the bedspread, well entwined with the 'hair of the dog'...

The old sheet looks good - free of red lint.

But that red bedspread now has a good coating of Canyon's fine white hair... Well, I STILL stand by my Filter-Flo...

Perhaps I should try the same three blankets as a test load in one of the solid-tubs next....

Don't let hubby dissuade you.  Some animal hairs are almost unfazed by washing.  Just the nature of the beast. lol

some hairs will get intertwined....but usually a run thru the dryer and most all is removed...your good to go.....

take it from someone who washes Yogi's blanket every other day....and right now he is shedding his undercoat, seems like the wrong time for it, but its comming off like cotton...could be the warm weather, and he's inside now more than ever...

With that much water...

That's so fun, dog laundry is always a good test of a washer. GEs always pass my tests, the solid tub is actually as good as the perf tub models.

Nice shots Paul,

First pic, especially fetching, the colors, the filter flo water coming down.

Has the irony ever struck you that these beautiful vintage machines with their small tubs fill to the very brim, threatening overflow to the extent that Hubby pronounces yours broken, while the new machines have enormous tubs and can't get the level up even a few inches, if any ???!!! The world has indeed gone mad.
