The Project: Making laundry time easier and cheaper
The why
We want to be as self-sufficient as possible and to avoid spending lots of $$$ for laundry. In 2022, it cost us $1.75 USD for a wash load and $1.75 USD for a dryer load (which usually needed two runs).
The cost
We bought our machine from Amazon for $289.
The result
Happiness! Our laundry machine is perfect for washing our small and lightweight clothes. The wash takes 6 minutes a load and the spin takes 3 minutes. The clothes come out almost dry from spinning so air drying only takes a few hours. We haven't tried to wash our bigger items like cotton towels, jeans and sheets in the machine yet. Those are still taken to a laundry room to get done. Still, the convenience of having fresh undergarments and t-shirts whenever we want is what makes the washing machine on board a true treasure.
