I’m using a 20+ year old washer & dryer set. The advice I get is to keep using until they fail because the new ones are governed by wash/dry cycles set by enviro lawyers & politicians so that cleaning what I want, how I want is damn near impossible.
The enviro group also redid toilets so there’s no water in them.
So you have to flush them 2 or 3 times to get your crap and toilet paper out to sea - in separate flushes.
Morons running the government. Need a purge of the toilet rules folks.
