How Long Can You Do Without Your Washer?

Can we live without the washer? Of course, we can. We can still hand-wash. And we can still visit the nearest Laundromat, throw a few coins in the slot, and have our job done. This is actually what many people still do today – in an age where there’s a plethora of washing machine options, for all budgets, styles, space limits, and needs. It’s fair to say though that most of these people are young in age or live in apartment buildings with common laundry rooms. Because if you ask ten different 4-, 6-, or 8-member families, they will all tell you one thing: they cannot live without their washer. Do you know why? Because they will spend most of the day in the Laundromat, every day.

Washing machines are must-have home appliances these days. Even if you could find other ways to wash clothing, isn’t it better to have the washer in your own laundry room or in your bathroom instead of having to exit the house with the dirty clothes in a basket?

The advantage of having a washing machine at home

The advantages of having a washer at home are plenty. Should we take a look at the most important ones?

· You don’t have to leave your home to do laundry. Whether it’s pouring outside or there’s a heat wave, you can wash your clothes in the comfort of your own home without stepping outside and so without hassle. Having a washer at home means saving time and making life a lot easier. Plus, you can do your laundry at three in the morning, if you choose to.

· The counter-argument would be that you must spend a considerable amount of money to buy the washer and keep it running well for years. Well, you still have to pay to wash and dry clothes in a Laundromat. And you will waste your time by doing so when you could earn money instead. Then, you can look at it from a different angle. Today, the options among washers are innumerable. And so, there are options for all budgets. You don’t have to pay a fortune to get a washer. Will you need a washing machine technician at one point to fix it? You might. But washers don’t break down so easily unless there’s something wrong with them from the start. Simply put, you may need some washer repairs here and there, but it won’t be the norm.

· Today, most washers have many programmes and often involve short cycles. And so, you can throw a couple of pieces of clothing in the washer and have them all cleaned and refreshed in half an hour or less. Who doesn’t want this convenience? And don’t forget that most households that have a washer also have a dryer, and so clothes can be easily washed and dried.

Why shouldn’t we admit it? We can’t do without washers

It’s hard to say how many days a family can do without the washer. It depends on the size of the family, their habits, how often they do laundry, et cetera. The sure thing is that a broken washer will be missed from day one. And the pile of dirty clothes will become a mountain in just a couple of days. It’s fair to say that people, who own a washer and use the washer will miss the washer if it fails. That’s because washing clothes at home becomes a habit – a task we so hate but whose results we love. Those who are habituated to visiting Laundromats have nothing to miss – since they don’t have a washer at home. If they want to do laundry, they just go and do laundry. But they will do so for as long as doing laundry outside of the house is convenient or if they have the time. Because if they don’t have the time all of a sudden or if they suddenly have a big family or the laundry shop of their neighborhood shuts down, they will too wish they had a laundry machine at home and won’t rest until they get one. Whether we like it or not, we can’t live without our washers. But so, what? Is there anything wrong with that?
