Tom, I agree with Steve. See if the Fridgemore would fit. Now for the top loader, remember my experience with Shredmore--and Jason's too. Heavy Duty is 180 strokes/minute, normal is 120 strokes/minute (gentle on my 1st edition LK DD machine) and delicate is 90 strokes/minute. The warm atc is 90 degrees--bleh. Fortunately the machine offers non-atc temps for a good warm (104) and true hot. If she gets this one, mu suggestion is wash most everything at gentle wash/fast spin and make sure to tell her not to fill completely full, about 7/8ths fuul on that setting for good rollover. And if she has to use 180 strokes/minute (heavy duty) tell her to not wash anything more than 8 minutes max on that setting, it's just tooo harsh. A co-worker (who I WARNED) complained all her new towels purchased a year ago were all threadbare. found out she was washing them the furll 14 minutes on Heavy Duty speed combo. I gave her a dirty look and she said, I know I know, you warned me aobut that machine, I jsut didn't think it was gonna be that rough. As gansky1 says, a DD Whirlken only need to wash for 6 to 8 minuutes max. If my stuff has lots of stains, I soak the load during the wash phase of the cycle.

Steve, I don't know what exactly you are copying into the URL window, but the links you post don't work. You can test them already in the Preview Message before you post the message finally. I assume you are using the AOL browser? I don't have it, but from what I understand you can't copy links from them. Perhaps somebody else can tell you more about this. BTW, here's the link to the frontloader you are referring to. Louis CLICK HERE TO GO TO foraloysius's LINK | ||
