Yes, loves it. If you have one, you should try it on most everything--it reveals an amazing world heretofore only available to people with super high-speed film cameras.
Even the little suds-kill spray-rinse that happens after the first spin is epic in slow-motion. Next logical step? Stick it in the dishwasher, of course! :-) This was a load of queen-sized sheets and pillowcases with Persil FreshStartPearls, and I always keep the water level on "high," so it's probably fairly underloaded. But I figured it was good, neutral content--no need to see a pair of undies cartwheeling across the field of view. ;-) After eight years of "getting around to it," I finally got there. I'll post a separate thread this week on what "getting there" looked like. It had sat disused since the 2007 wash-in, and was not--shall we say--"plug-'n-play." :-) I also repainted it, so that unlike the Westinghouse-original unit, it actually has PAINT on it. :-) Yes, I still have it, because it weighs too much to push to the curb when I get caught in a fit of pique. ;-) |

You don't happen to have that "Godly" sort of music (suggesting true bliss/enlightenment) that could go with the clothes gently flowing through the machine, in slow-motion? That would be the deal-topper for me ;) |
