Washer Dryer ??

[supercub]

What's the difference between the 2000 and 2100 Splendide Washer Dryer units? Is the 2000 an older unit? If so when did they stop making them. Thanks

We use the balls, both types, in our home dryer. They seem to work, But OH, are they ever NOISY!!!
If you use them in a Splendide, I think maybe 4 to 6 of them would be about right.
When we were using a Splendide, we found that being very careful about the amount of clothes put in it was the best way to control wrinkles. We would wash one suit of clothes (socks, underwear, pants, shirt) at a time. The only time we worried about mixing whites and coloreds was when we had new jeans. After they were washed a couple times, everything got thrown in together.

We just installed a Splendide 2100XC last week and still ironing out the kinks. We have tried fabric softener to reduce wrinkles and we know about using lower dryer setting and removing items to finish drying. But I am reading that the dryer balls can be useful. Would like some feedback on if they work and, if so, which kind - the smooth ones like a tennis ball or the ones that have "spikes" and look like a dog toy?

OK, now you have heard of one more. We spent nearly three years full timing in a fifth wheel that had a Splendide installed, the vented model.
We thought it was the greatest thing since pockets in trousers! We found that one suit of clothes made a perfect load. Shirt, pants, socks, underwear. Turn it on and forget it. No spending the day sitting in a laundromat waiting for machines to get done, just go about the day, doing whatever we wanted.
It was GREAT!

We must be different love ours no problems. Always hated the washeteria thing never again. Small loads 2-3 times a week works great. We always stay or volunteer at state parks that have washer dryers but we still use our own.

We gave away our practically new 2000 (10 lb load) and replaced it with the 2100 (12 pound load). The 20% increase in capacity and other features is well worth it.

Thanks for the replies. I had already decided on a vented model. After the replies on here and a little research, I think I'll elect for the 2100 model. Thanks

Yes, apparently vented works a lot better.

We traveled for 6 yrs. in 2 different MH's and loved or WD. Get a vented one as I have heard they dry much better than the non-vented.

Heh, to each their own.... I guess we never went to a laundramat for a day, more like 1.5 hours and used 4-5 machines at a time between stops. Of course most camp different ways too.

We've only used the older models but no complaints. Sure beats having a hamper full of dirty stuff than going to a Laundromat for a day. Did that for too many years. Just toss stuff in and when full start so it does double duty first storing than cleaning, what could be easier.

So what if it runs every day or so.

We've had both, both worked fine.
