I'll take the old fashioned one with the mannual wringer. The place country club I used to work at back in the day had one of those old dinosaurs and they used to to wash the golf balls because those machines NEVER quit.

I'd be looking for a little elephant / pelican in the meantime a la Flintstones.

I would consider using the inventor of this machine, as a counter balance to a off balance machine. No problem with that. I'm sure he could fully appreciate his child lock that wont let him escape.

I'll be looking for Nancy Grace to announce the results of the experiment.
| | | spapad wrote: | | It's insane. OK, so it's off balance, I put in on pause open it, and adjust the clothes, instead of attempting to spin again, it starts to fill up again! First time, I've been truly disapointed with this machine. Washing machines are not rocket science! Why do they screw up the one invention that was pretty much straight forward.

I bet they spent the $ used for an "off balance" alarm on the oh-so-useful child lock. 
| | | spapad wrote: | | Wonder if it's voodoo would work on my new washer?? I just spent and hour and a half attempting to get the damn thing to spin out the load in it. I finally figured out that you can't put any kind of blanket in that absorbs lots of water along with other items. It's autobalance system won't spin it out, you don't get one of those off balance alarms, that would be too convienent. NO, it just quits spining and starts to fill up again to start the whole rinse cycle over again. Dumb! I finally had to remove the offending blanket and spin out the two loads separately, which also means I had to use the only existing spin cycle that I can dial in which is some sort of drain/spin cycle which takes about 15 minutes to complete. So, when I'm finally done, I'll have spent two hours on this and learned something I would rather have not. I knew I should have gotten the Wilma Flintstone edition washing machine.

HRMG - Double the pendant, double the luck! I flew in when a snow/ice storm hit home and came back when the rain / ice was hitting the island!
Bud - I'll post a couple of more but it is hard if you know me. I am both a big shutterbug and into doing major hikes / running. Every other corner is majestic and the whole island is basically volcanic rock. Goes from tropical jungle to the north to urban sprawl around Honolulu / Pearl Harbor / Waikiki to the rock / cactus (no joke...look below) to the south. Ran the route where they filmed Jurassic Park, King Kong, etc., then HAD to stop by the calm bay where they filmed the intro to Fantasy Island. Da plane! Da plane! I'll take a look and put up a few more ASAP, Bud.
