In the Sears folder of the newpaper today, they feature a Maytag 4.5 cu ft. high efficiency front load washer with fresh hold dynamic venting technology. Their claim: Keep laundry smelling fresh with the built-in washer fan. The fan circulates fresh air at cycle's end. Intermittent tumbling keeps clothes moving. Combination of fresh air and tumbling continues for up to 10 hours. CLICK HERE TO GO TO gadgetgary's LINK | ||

Gary, Whirlpool had instituted this feature on their TOL 9750 model a few months back. I think Frigilux was who brought it to our attention. Just wondering when Kenmo will offer it. I disagree with Favorit's comment. I know several families who will leave laundry in washer overnight, if not longer, especially when machines are in a laundry closet rather than a laundry room (especiallly if ya have to pass through the laundry room to get outside or to the garage lol). They'll start laundry as they're getting ready to go to bed. It's rare I leave a load in the washer for any length of time. However, the dryer is another story. More than likely, the last load I do for the day or evening will be towels, whites, or even jeans that will be left there for a day (or several). Not sure how I'd deal with that if I had a dryer with a window on it--whether it would bug me enought to get the load out of there or if I'd just ignore it lol. | ||

I'm with....
....favorit and Bertrum I can't speak for all Aussies, but I can for the ones I know. We tend to wash when a load ready or several at a time. Wash it and then hang it out or dry it immediately....or set the delay timer so that it is ready when we get up in the morning or home from work.... My mother and I will quite happily stand hanging washing up at 11.30pm so it doesn't sit in the machine or in a basket. Now, does the drum tumble intermittently with the fan going on these machines or does it remain static? I ask because if it doesn't tumble, how on earth is it going to touch developing odours and 'mankyness' in the centre of the wash load???? | ||

Good god! Everyone I know leaves washing in the machine until they are ready to remove it and I feel not so guilty of doing it myself. If the machine is clean and used properly nobody has any side effects of foul smelling laundry or mould. Can go from switching the machine on at 8.30 before I go to work and not removing the washing until gone 6/7 in the evening. Similarly I may do a wash on a saturday morning and go out for the day not returning until late evening and still forget its there until the following morning. Nothing happens to my wash! Im not slave to my laundry. I have more interesting things and more important things to do while the machine is on half the time. Yet more marketig rubbish and nothing detrimental to the laundry process itself. | ||

Strange... I never had any problems with leaving a load in the washer overnight. What I do mostly is just put the rinsehold button on... When I want to unload, simple deselect the rinse hold. The machine tumbles drains and spins. Never had any problem with that... | ||

When it was just me alone, and nothing to do, yeah it's easy to keep your mind on things, and never forget a load in a machine......... Now...ADD a big house, with a husband and 5 children, I get distracted, and there are times I forget if I started a machine and which laundry room I have machines running...most times I'm there or nearby the whole time thru the process....but there are times when I have to run errands and such and time slips away...it happens...so sometimes I have to rewash a forgotten load.... but this would not be an option I would select.....would rather have a combo washer/dryer.....if I was to forget, at least it would go into DRY mode and finish the load with out the worry of mold/mildew issues, maybe a few wrinkles, but nothing a de-wrinkle or an iron can't fix were just looking for useful options for real life scenarios | ||
