Gansky, great picture! Unfortunately, I doubt she would have neither the patience nor the time to appreciate a beauty like that. She's more of a 'get it in and get it goin' now' kinda girl'...think thats why my brother married her !! ;-) | ||

rinsing thoroughly
More important than the cleaning ability - much more important - is the rinsing factor. And that is where the a real Frigidaire (a thumper that is, not the TL trash White calls Frigidaire) would certainly be preferable. Horses have surprisingly sensitive skin, a machine which does not rinse completely would be a very bad idea. Her cheap-ass husband should put the horse's health ahead of his wallet and go with either the Miele or something vintage. If she does have to compromise, than she needs to run the rinse cycle a few times...and ask their vet which brands she recommends. A Frigemore FL with extra rinse should have both the capacity and the rinsing ability if a compromise is inevitable. But the stable where I ride uses a 1960's Miele...I daresay it has paid for itself, no? | ||

Whatever front loader she ends up with....and that is the way to go to clean blankets...she should use one of the "free&clear" HE detergents and not too much. I believe Tide and All have those versions....may be some others. Her horses should not experience any skin irritation of she uses a detergent free of dyes and perfumes, an extra rinse, and has the high extraction of a front loader.

I think you are going to have hair problems
And other interesting clumps, true. That Miele I mentioned has an easy access filter which gets cleaned out after every wash. I agree with the high water temperature. 60°C minimum...140°F. Hypo-Allergenic detergent, extra rinses and (of course) absolutely no fabric softener. I hesitate to recommend my current washer, given the horror stories everyone tells about LG service in the US, but I bought mine seven years ago because it was given such a good rating at getting rid of animal hair and sand. They have models with big enough drums, too. Never broke, always cleaned very well, got rid of the hair and sand perfectly...But, gosh...after reading all the problems with their service and then listening to that idiot salesman at homo-depot explain they had the best service in the world, no customers ever had any problems...I am really, really unsure making this recommendation. | ||
