Looks cool, but too pricey! I'll stick to letting the wife scrub the clothes.

I bought one and it has saved me around 350.00 dollars in the last year and 3 months . And actually this is the only appliance that pays me back money.

are you by any chance selling these? Or just the licenses to sell them. That's where the real money is at.

Actually what i did was purchase a license to sell them so i could get mine for 499.00..as far a really trying to sell them i haven't till recently but i figured with rising fuel and grocery prices it might be of some help to individuals.
And it also helped that the company is run by a Christian C.E.O and 30 % of the licence holders are either pastors or christian lay workers.

I didn't watch the youtube video because it's blocked, but where does $24/month worth of savings come in? From not using hot water? because that seems a bit absurd.

well i guess off of hot water usage (we rarely ever use hot water to wash clothes, usually set to (warm/cold) which doesn't use much hot water) and the cost of detergent is where the cost savings is?

we do approx 100 loads of laundry a year with us and our 2 kids and buy detergent twice a year?....

what kind of energy consumption are we talking about here?

the website gives none of that info.

its not magic stain getter outer either, it says on the website it should clean better (the clip kind of proved it right but then as i said, it used an old commercial washing machine as the "regular detergent washer")and also get rid of more bacteria (which the clip proved wrong)

its basically an attachement that you add to your washer that allows you to not use hot water and detergent.

You save money by not having to buy detergent ..fabric softner ...bleach ....now the money saved depends on how much of these products of course you buy and what they cost . And without having to use hotwater that saves on electric as well.and you get a break on your utility bill also lets say those three products cost 24.00 for a month ..and since you don't have to spend that 24.00 dollars that goes right back into your pocket.

I don't think I've ever used hot water to wash so there's no savings there. I love bacteria because it makes me superhuman during flu season so I don't need it there. you don't have to use detergent? Well that's interesting, but detergent is not that expensive. http://www.shoplet.com//office/db/PAG92 ... =SRTESTSID There's what amounts to 128 loads worth for $53.73. If I use that in a year, which is excessive I think it'd take me ~10 years to pay this gadget off. Does it even last that long?

The unit is like turning on a 100 watt light bulb and it does shut itself off after the wash is done ...you can also let your clothes completely dry in the washer and then finish them off in the dryer saving you more money...
It takes about 10-20 minutes to install depending on the size of your laundry room ...and you can install it yourself if your a handyman ...

What about scent. How do they smell? - I like to put a nice white short on and have it smell nice. What do your clothes smell like?

or it goes back into your savings to recoup the 700+ bucks you've spent on the thing...

ok so i've ran some numbers...

with a normal everyday washing machine here is what the costs work out too

hot/cold cycle - .36 cents per cycle - 200 cycles (4 per week) - $72 per yr
cold/cold cycle - .04 cents per cycle - 200 cycles(4 per week) - $ 8 per yr

difference of 64 bucks.

200 loads worth of fabric softener - $40
200 loads worth of Detergent - $67
bleach (who uses more than one jug a year) - $10

thats a total of $181 bucks worth of savings (around 15 bucks a month)

so it would essentially take someone who does 200 loads of laundry a year...almost 4 years to recoup the money spent....if you've bought it for 500 bucks it would take 2 and 3/4 years to recoup...

NEVERMIND this from their website :


Detergent and Fabric Softener
LaundryPure should reduce, and in most cases eliminate, the need for additives such as detergent and fabric softener. However, you may find that in some cases you may still want to add a reduced amount of these items, depending on the degree of soil.
Bleach
Before LaundryPure, your white cotton laundry needed bleaching. You may still want to occasionally add a small amount bleach with LaundryPure.

huh?

and they only give a 90 day warranty on the bulbs....which are 30 bucks for each bulb...how many loads do you get out of a bulb?

given that it doesn't wash any better than normal washing machines i just can't see why i would invest in this other than to drive my wife nuts.....
