Oh, let me tell you, our old washing machine was on its last legs
0:07
It was making these awful grinding noises, and I swear it was eating our socks
0:12
But seriously, with three kids and a husband who's into sports, our laundry needs are pretty intense
0:19
I knew we needed something reliable and efficient. I spent weeks researching different models online, reading reviews, and even chatting with other moms in my neighborhood
0:28
I was looking for something energy efficient, with a large capacity, and good stain removal features
0:35
Eventually, I narrowed it down to a few models and visited a local appliance store to see them in person
0:41
The sales rep was really helpful, and I ended up choosing a front loader with great energy ratings and a steam function
0:48
It wasn't the cheapest option, but I figured it would be worth it in the long run
0:54
Oh my gosh, night and day difference. before, I felt like I was constantly doing laundry
1:01
The old machine could only handle small loads, so I was running it three or four times a day
1:06
And don even get me started on the drying time it was taking forever because the clothes came out so wet Now with the new machine I can do larger loads which means fewer cycles overall The spin cycle is much more effective so clothes come out less wet
1:22
cutting down on drying time. I've gone from feeling like a laundry slave to actually having time
1:28
to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee while the machine does its thing. It's been a game changer
1:33
especially with my busy work schedule and the kids' activities. There are so many great
1:39
features, but I'd say the top ones for us are the large capacity, the different wash cycles
1:45
and the steam function. The large capacity means I can wash bulky items like comforters or do
1:50
all the towels in one go. It's a real time saver. The variety of wash cycles has been fantastic
1:57
for dealing with different types of laundry. There's a quick wash for lightly soiled clothes
2:02
a heavy-duty cycle for my husband's workout gear, and even a sanitized cycle which is great for
2:07
when the kids have been sick. But the steam function? That's my secret weapon. It's amazing for
2:14
refreshing clothes that aren't quite dirty but need a bit of freshening up. It's also great for
2:19
tackling stubborn stains on the kids clothes You know I was a bit skeptical about the whole energy efficient claim at first These appliances often cost more up front so I was really hoping to see some savings on our utility bills I happy to report that we
2:36
definitely seen a decrease in both our water and electricity bills. It's not a dramatic drop
2:42
We're not talking hundreds of dollars or anything, but it's noticeable. I'd say we're saving about
2:47
15 to 20 percent on our utility bills compared to before. The machine uses less water per cycle
2:53
and because it's more efficient, we're running fewer loads overall. The energy-efficient motor also seems to be making a difference in our electricity usage
3:03
It's nice to know we're saving money and being a bit more environmentally friendly at the same time
3:09
One small downside, though, because it's a high-efficiency machine, we had to switch to H.C. detergent
3:14
which is a bit more expensive. But overall, I'd say the savings outweigh that extra cost
3:22
Oh, don't get me started on the first. the stains. With three active kids, it feels like I'm constantly battling grass stains, mud, food spills
3:30
you name it. Before getting this new washing machine, I felt like I was losing that battle more
3:36
often than not The new machine has definitely up my stain fighting game The steam function I mentioned earlier is a real lifesaver It helps to loosen tough stains before the wash cycle even begins There also a pretreat option where you can soak
3:51
heavily sold items before the main wash. I've been particularly impressed with how it handles
3:57
my son's soccer uniforms. Those grass and mud stains used to be the bane of my existence
4:03
but now they come out looking almost new. The machine also has a specific stain cycle that
4:08
adjusts the water temperature and tumbling action to tackle different types of stains
4:13
That being said, it's not perfect. Some really set in stains still require pre-treatment or even
4:19
hand scrubbing. And I've found that some delicate fabrics don't always fare well in the heavy-duty
4:24
cycles needed for tough stains. But overall, I'd say it's been a massive improvement
4:31
The biggest challenge for me was definitely information overload. There are so many brands
4:37
models, features, and technical specifications to consider. It felt like I needed an engineering degree
4:43
just to understand all the options. I was torn between getting a top loader, which is what I was
4:49
used to, or switching to a front loader, which seemed more efficient but also more expensive
4:54
Then there were all these fancy features to consider, did I really need a machine that could be controlled
