My husband and I recently found ourselves in need of replacing our ancient washing machine. Because my husband is a do-it-yourself'er we asked the salesguy for something on the low-tech end, so that my also ancient fix it guy could keep up with it. (which is why our first washer got so ancient to begin with! he just kept repairing it!)
but I digress...
We ended up purchasing a new high efficiency washer. Not one with all the bells and whistles, just a basic one. It seems they are all sensor driven now. But it is nice to know that I'm saving a little money on water, gas, and electricity with it.
This machine is a GIGANTIC learning curve for me, having been so out of touch with modern trends. It makes the weirdest noises, for one! And, I don't know which products would be best to use with it. Something environmentally friendly would be best, and it seems fitting/appropriate.
Does anyone else here have a HE washer? Do you like yours? Can you recommend go-with products, please? THANK YOU!
