What I find funny is that everyone on here has to nit pick everything someone says or try to poke holes in their post in attempts to bring them down. Just respond to a post or leave it be. It's ok to be adults sometimes :)

thank you, please pull through.

an oversized queen comforter = a king sized comforter

i have a Whirlpool Duet 3.8 cu. ft. front-load washer and it cleans a king sized comforter just fine.

sure it does. As a matter a fact I just did a few easy google searches that could show you don't know WTF you are talking about yet again and merely try to refute everything I say.

Whatever ratty ass king-sized bedware you have that may fit just fine in your 'Duet' ours would not.

To answer your question prior to your edit (since apparently you found you answer once you read)...I have rather large machines already and plan on upgrading to even larger. However; I just moved in my home about 4 months ago and there are other things I have done/doing like the 30+ gallons of paint I am working with.

I will be putting in natural gas, a tankless water heater, gas dryer and oven/stovetop.

Let me know if you need anymore clarification.

Sorry, if I knew that was your mother I probably would have offered her $20 if she made it worthwhile.

I'd work on putting together a coherent sentence though...I am thinking you meant I have never made a useful thread..share some of yours though.

i do know what i am talking about because i OWN that machine. please stop talking out of your ass yet again. every post you have is you talking out of your ass. i've tired of it as have a lot of other members. YOU know it all. WE know nothing, right? :confused:

you have NO CLUE what my bed linens look like and just ASSume you do because only YOU have nice things, right? :confused:

I don't give a good crap what you are doing to fix your house. I didn't ask, so in the future, don't offer. I am only disputing your authority on everything attitude when it comes to washing machines, and it really is sad you send your wife to a seedy laundromat instead of making it a priority to upgrade your machine at home. (If you do actually have one)

I would have given her a quarter, kneed her in the face, spit on her, taken my quarter, eat a candy bar in front of her and spit the partially chewed substance on her face in case she really was hungry.

Take a picture and start a website called "Laundromat Lurkers".

Ok...read your own words...like I have said even if I had a 4.0 cu ft washer MY comforter would not fit properly.

I know you didn't ask but I figured I may as well hash it all out to cover the next lines of questions you'd have. However; in reality I know a lot about many things here that others just love to google.

My wife chose to go to the laundromat...maybe you get ordered around at home, but she can make her own decisions. If it were me I'd just drop it off to be cleaned. Priority is not a washer that I'd probably not need the size on for quite a while. As much as I'd love to do it today, I am a bit short on the $10k plus the laundry/kitchen remodel is not done to know where to run the new gas lines too.

I have seen some ads for a little device you stick in your throttle body at gets you 100mpg.

Ads aside I did a quick google search seeing if I was somehow wrong that 4.0 cu ft was the top Duet, but I wasn't and it still leaves many people not able to wash their large comforters properly.

Just being able to stuff it inside a basket <> getting it clean.

I thought this thread was going to be a joke about how much of a waste of time it would be to scam people for only a quarter.

Then she wouldn't need a quarter because she'd be rich off of suing you into oblivion. But we all know you're just some punk teenager that has some sort of complex and that you won't actually do anything besides sit on your fat ass and post about beating people up on the internet.

I hate to add fuel to the fire, but of the sake of "Some of you people need a life"...

Perhaps the comforter required two drying cycles. If it's as over-sized as he claims then it probably has a lot of stuffing in it. If a comforter is woven tight to help keep you warm at night, then it doesn't exactly let moisture evaporate through it rapidly, especially once it's entirely soaked. So... as I said, maybe it takes two drying cycles. Hell, maybe more to know for certain that it's entirely dry and the stuffing inside isn't still damp and won't build mildew or something.

If this is true, then by the time she put the dress in the dryer at home, left for the laundromat to dry the comforter, started it, ran two cycles and came back home, then depending on the material of the dress it would likely be wrinkled by the time she got back. A single dress by itself wouldn't require but 20-30 minutes drying time (again, depending on the material) whereas the typical dryer time at a laundromat is 40-60 minutes.


Regardless, who really gives a crap if he's making things up as he goes along or if he just likes things to be complicated? If the only thing better to do in life is to type on the internet about how you think someone ON THE INTERNET is making things up then you REALLY need to find something better and more fulfilling to do because you are a LOSER.

His points were pretty right on though. People are questioning what the fck my wife had in a dryer. I am pretty consistant with my 'story' on things. Shens is good for when you just read about some dude last month that was asking how to meet a girl or how to change his oil filter, then this month he is juggling a stripper, supermodel and rock star or rebuilt his 1.6L Honda and has it blowing the floorboards out of his car due to NAWZ.

It's pretty fun though to keep filling in more blanks for them which they then run down each tangent trying harder and harder to debunk what amounts to what was in the dryers. I can just picture these people all pissed off each time they think "damn I didn't think of that".

The main reason she washed the black outfit at the laundry instead of at home was because she wanted to wear it the next day and would already be waiting on the comforter.
