Splendide,

[Bob Lawrence]

Wife loves hers.
We run a load (with the genset) while going down the road. When we
get somewhere, it's done.

> I don't know if it is only because we've never had a used
Splendide, or something else, but we don't find them nearly as bad as
they are made out to be by those that don't like them.

> My wife would submit to flaming matchsticks under her fingernails
in preference to spending 60-90 minutes in a laundromat. Yes, she
does lots of small loads in the Splendide, but they occupy little of
her time, and generally what is washed is also dried in the same load
amount.

> One of her requirements in searching for a Bird was either that it
had a washer/dryer, or I installed one. While installation on a unit
not pre-plumbed for a washer/dryer was not easy, we are probably
lucky that it did not have one, since again we started with new. I
first installed one 2 SOBs back, although that one was pre-plumbed,
and the last SOB was purchased new with the washer/dryer standard.

have a few minutes of safety lockout after stopping - she would
rather not be protected and be able to open it at will.
