The appliance that elicits anger and frustrated at it’s mere sight. The treacherous device that never worked right.

    Washing machines.

    My washing machine 15 years ago would wash my clothes with…uhhhh…fucking water.

    Now you can’t buy washing machines that actually wash your clothes in water. They all spritz your clothes with a little water then jiggle around your damp clothes for a bit.

    I don’t live in a desert. I live in a place with access to plenty of water. I should be allowed to buy a washing machine that actually fills up with soapy water and washes my damn clothes.

    I could buy a Speed Queen washer for $2,000 from a specialty store, but that’s ridiculous. Why can’t I just buy a washing machine that washes my clothes? They’re ALL terrible now. All the washers in all the big box stores are just…bad.

      Get your washers used from thrift stores, the older the better

      Don’t fall into the aesthetics trap, you don’t need to swap your appliances out every five years for new
