When Wonder Boy and I were shopping for our new washer every sales person gasped at the mere thought that we would choose a smaller than standard washer. We were talked into a larger one, which didn’t fit into our basement. So we went back to the original plan of the smaller washer.

Today I did laundry for the first time in our new washer. Although still small, this washer, at 2.2 cubic feet, is larger than our old washer. (New, supersized washers are anywhere from 3 to 5 cubic feet.) So loading it up was awesome.

To all of the people who wrote reviews about how this washer was good but way too small? Get over yourself. To the people at Home Depot and Lowe’s? You were wrong. I do not regret this new washer.
