washer

The ex-boss of a friend of mine used to clean the toilet brush in the office dish washer.

If you're in a dry climate, it still seems like a bad idea to run a washer.

But in recent years I've seen combo washer/dryer units that reuse the same tumbler for both functions, so they take only the space of a normal washer.

My landlord knows nothing about fixing the washer and dryer in my apartment building, that much is for sure.

Just run a washer and hang your clothes if you're in a dry climate.

No roommates, nice neighborhood, probably even a washer/dryer if you're a little lucky.

Don't forget the standard version has a capacity of 7 kWh, while using a clothes washer and a clothes dryer just once uses up about 5 kwh+ according to Tesla itself.

I keep on hearing about planned obsolescence, but between my fridge, oven and washer, I've had one repair in a total of 36 functional years between the three items.

That's in a place with two kitchens, plus a chest freezer, two washer/dryers, and numerous small appliances, plus most of the items were old when we bought the place.

I was able to rent a place to crash for ~$150 less per day than a hotel would have cost and I had access to a full kitchen, washer/dryer, fast internet etc, which I wouldn't have had with a hotel.

Beyond that, I hope everyone can agree spraying the windshield with washer-fluid and thereby completely obscuring the vision of the driver while he was traveling at 70mph is absolutely a hazard (what if the car in front had stopped for some reason).

We've been in our place for 8 years, and in that time, I can only recall fixing the fridge (bad defrost element-$20 or so), throwing out a slow cooker, replacing the igniter on the gas stove, and replacing a working dishwasher and a not working washer (bad bearing seal on a front loader and the bearing was too seized to remove before I damaged it irreparably).

As comments here note, searches for "dish washer" product pretty good results.

A "typical middle class worker" in the early 1970s lived in a house that was built in the 1950s or earlier, around 1200 square feet, 1 bathroom, 2-3 bedrooms, without air conditioning or a washer/dryer, and had one vehicle available to the household [0].
