Hi there.
Any of you have one of those recent models with the air dry/air turbo dry (whatever) whereby it claims to essentially cut down drying time by drawing outdoor air into the machine itself during the spin cycle?

Am just curious as to whether it's a gimmick or it really works?!

Thanks

i'm not sure. that's what I've been hearing and reading. something to do with the washing or spinning i think

Actually, if you understand physics, then you would understand that there are 2 laws of forces acting on a top load machine as it spins. Centrifugal+gravity. And they are perpendicular to each other. So probably this would explain the spoiling of clothes.

Front loading? Both are in the same direction.

But having said that, I have used both and they both have their pros and cons. I would be more worried about clothes going out of fashion than it tearing or breaking or ... whatever.
he he!

Plus good reason to eventually ...er... replace that worn out shirt/pants... unless it's jeans. smile.gif
