One of these days I hope to eventually own a home. When I do, I want to buy one of the industrial-ass washing machines and dryers they use in laundromat and hotels. I'm sure it will be very expensive, but I firmly believe in "buy once, cry once". I want a laundry machine that is built to run 24/7 for 10+ years. Used at a personal pace, it should last forever.

Monkey's paw: It is made to run 24/7 for 10 years, but you run it every 3 days, which makes it degrade faster.

For real now, probably not like that, but found it funny. Anyone knows how the phenomenon is called?

Inkjet printer disease.

I'd just buy a good solid brand, a hotel one might also not have the few programs/temperature you'll need but blast everything at 60° or 90°.

It will also use much more energy and water, because they're built to wash extremely quickly, efficiency be damned.

This isn't true at all. Laundromats have to pay for water and electricity, that eats into their profits.

[–] jenesaisquoi@feddit.org 1 points 6 months ago

Water and electricity is cheap compared to other cost (location, wages). It is more profitable to have more customers per machine per day.

Honestly buy something that is good quality but doesn't have stupid shit, do I need my washing machine and my toaster talking to each other? No but the stripped down no frills ones are normally built to be as absolutely cheap as possible.
