Laundry

Well, one of our first priorities after getting into the house was to get a washer and dryer. After doing some comparison shopping - not easy to do with the features in Hungarian, we decided on a Whirlpool set. Vito purchased on Tuesday and asked for delivery on Wednesday. He also got an adapter to stack the units - because he thought they would not fit side by side - he was still applying American dimensions - they fit just fine.

Now, Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, he tries to contact the delivery guys to confirm the time. Vito cannot get through until Wednesday morning, at which time he realizes the guy doesn't speak English.

So, Vito calls me and asks if I can have my admin call the delivery guy to see what time they are coming. Luckily, my admin is great and she gets confirms it will be delivered between 11 -12. Perfect.

Then, Vito tries to read the instructions and again is challenged. I try to find English manuals on-line, but no luck. But, luckily, when I get home, we find the English section - hidden in the back.

Then, I find the program guide and holy cow. A standard load of wash will take about 2 hours to run and clean about 1/2 the amount of clothes. Then, the dryer is a condensing dryer. Which means we have to empty the water that is extracted after every load.

Needless to say, we do laundry all the time.
