One thing I was very down about was leaving my washer and dryer. I love them. When our old washer died, I did the research and bought the best new set that could fit in our laundry closet.

I love my Maytag Bravos. LOVE.THEM!!!!!

When I saw the washer and dryer that we have now I got sad.

I mean...look at these lack of options on this control panel:

I was so depressed. I immediately threw in the duvet that Robby used as a buffer between two pieces of furniture and which had become ridiculously dirty in the process. When I got it out...I noticed how white and gleamy it was. Yes...I said GLEAMY.

Then I tossed in Jaru's feet cleaning towels.

Um...GLEAMY-ER!

I started tossing ish in left and right. Towels, pillowcases, PILLOWS!

Dudes...I MISSED A WASHING MACHINE THAT USED A FULL BASIN OF WATER!!!!!!!!! HOT WATER! COLD WATER! IN-BETWEEN WATER!

Yesterday I was on the phone with an Elder and mentioned the washing machine. That started a 20 minute rant from him about these, BULLSHIT AZZ LOW FLOW ENERGY EFFICIENT BULLSHIT AZZ NEWFANGLED SHIT THEY FORCE US TO BUY! I SWEAR I'VE BEEN MEANING TO GO DOWN TO THE SALVATION ARMY AND BUYING AN OLD SET OR TAKING A SET OUT OF ONE OF MY RENT HOUSES ONCE SOMEONE MOVES AND PUTTING THESE BULLSHIT AZZ ONES IN THERE! I WASH MY JEANS AND THEY LOOK THE EXACT SAME! THEY AREN'T EVEN WET! JUST DAMP BEFORE I PUT THEM IN THE DRYER! I GOT SO GOTDAMN MAD ONE TIME I TOOK MY JEANS DOWN TO THE LAUNDRY HOUSE AND PAID $50 TO USE THEIR DAMN MACHINE AND THEN BROUGHT MY JEANS BACK HOME SOAKING WET AND DRIED THEM! I HATE MY DAMN MACHINES!

Um...okay. I wasn't quite on THAT level but yeah...totally loving this non-energy efficient set.

Do you have a non-energy efficient set? If you have an energy efficient set...any complaints? Have you ever used a non-energy efficient set after getting used to using energy efficient ones? Noticed any differences?
