We use our Splendide all the time, but is does have it's quirks. Once you get used to them and the bast way to operate it, you'll love it!
1. SMALL LOADS are a must. Keep up with the laundry and you'll be fine.
2. Fold the clothes WET, then put them back in folded and dry them. You'll be amazed at the difference!
3. 1-2 tablespoons of detergent only.
4. Use the shortest wash cycle.
Lastly, if the laundry does get ahead of you, you can jam the washer full of clothes and wash them, then take them to the CG or local laundromat to dry them, or dry in smaller batches, in the Splendide.
