If this is so you have hot water instantly, I can recommend using a hot water recirculator instead - I have 2 80 gallon water heaters, a little pump runs 24/7 (uses ~50 watts, I measured) and you got hot water instantly at every single faucet in the house.

I replaced the pump when I replaced my water heaters last, has been trouble-free.

I hate how every analog device is now being converted to a digitized log in service.

I use the local laundromat like a Pleb. At least the machines have a large capacity, its open 24/7 and there are wall to wall machines. I can start my shit early and get on with other errands... Right?

Fast forward 6 years. My favorite laundromat has been bought out and renovated by a chain. Everything that made this place convenient has been stripped away.

Auto locking doors from 9AM to 10PM. Half the amount of machines and of a smaller size. They all have digital interfaces too, which will in time shit the bed before a classic button. The worst strike of all is the need to LOG IN TO USE A FUCKING WASHER.

"Servers are down and cant log in? Oh well, fuck you and the dirty socks you rode in on."

"Firmware update needs to be installed? Sorry go Kick rocks buddy."

BRING BACK CLASSIC LAUNDRY!

I should have mentioned earlier, my apartment is an old New England house divided into 2 units. Because the design is archaic, the hookup in my apartment is set inside of a small alcove that probably served an entirely different purpose back when people had bed pans and washed clothes in a basin. Every New England house I have ever lived in has had some weird design quirk, vaulted ceilings, stairwells added after the fact that are too narrow with sharp angles, etc...

Maybe my real gripe should be with the house's design...

If I were to buy a conventional style washer and dryer with longer tubes and pull them away from the alcove so they could actually fit, I would be blocking the bottom of the stairwell. I've looked into the vertical efficiency washers just to play around with the dimensions before and it might work if its not too tall.

If anyone uses and can vouch for the vertical style hit me up.
