Crazy Weekend: AEG LaundryFriday was the day of the delivery of our new AEG laundry equipment. I planned to work at home that day while waiting for the truck. Partway through the morning it occurred to me that I should clear a path from the front door to the basement stairs. I did that. It then occurred to me that I should have one more measurement of the basement door, which lead to the realization (by reference to the dimensions on the AEG website) that the door needed to be a bit wider to accomodate the equipment. I then spent a while removing pieces of wood from the doorframe and tearing hooks off the wall. I even removed some moulding from the bottom of the wall in the stairwell. Huge quantities of plaster chunks and dust were generated by this procedure. Think this was overkill on my part? Think again! If you, gentle reader, have moved house recently, you may remember that the movers sometimes put straps under very heavy items to move them up and down stairs. Here’s how tight the doorframe was: The washer went through the door, but the strap would not fit. It was a 40” washer going through a 40.4” doorway. That’s close. Anyway, we now have an exciting new 6 kg (13.2 lb) washer. Our old washer probably could handle 2 to 2.5 kg, and so as you can imagine we now expect to put a rather large dent in the fabrics that have piled up awaiting cleaning. So far so good, this equipment is performing admirably. It has a great capacity, excellent power consumption characteristics and it’s unimaginably great on water utilisation. And the dryer is good too… it does not roast the clothes which may mean that we can use the dryer more and the racks less! What’s great about this equipment is that the motors don’t spin the clothes all the time. This makes perfect sense: sometimes it’s OK for the clothes to just soak a bit… why agitate them constantly? Sometimes it’s OK for the dryer to just turn the pile over… not tumble things without cease. These machines seem to do work when required and not otherwise. Smart. Go AEG laundry Go!
