Must say that I love the old mechanical washing machines that can be easily repaired if you find the right parts. The new electronic ones don't seem to last nearly as well, so we're holding on to our vintage washer as long as we can. We picked it up second hand for $100 and it's been a work horse for 20 years.

I find that washing clothes in a bucket by hand works better than today's new washing machines!

with as much washing that Mom does that's entirely umpossible... me, left to my own devices could get by on washing things in the sink.

however, if you ever get a chance to visit a laundromat and see how much they are charging per load you can rapidly appreciate how much $ you save by having a washer at home.
