“While the two words are visually very similar, the word ‘tortuous’ is an entirely different word that means ‘twisted or windy’”
I’m a great believer in using machines to do the work of man (or woman), and appliances, big and small, certainly help to streamline life.
In my household, we run two washing machines and two dryers. Though guests might flippantly comment, “Do you run a laundromat here?” or “Fleishig and milchig?” the convenience and time-saving we gain by running two machines is invaluable.
From the time we installed our first duo, 20 years ago, I’ve had to replace both washers. When I replaced machine number one, Town Appliance offered me one with a steam function, but I dismissed it as unnecessary. When we had to replace machine number two, a year later, the only machine available with no wait was the machine with steam, so we bought it.
We regret having passed up the steam on the machine we bought the previous year. We use the machine with the steam function at a three-to-one compared with the other machine. The freshness of the wash is incomparable when using the steam function, and that’s great when washing towels or clothing that has been sitting for a while — think kids coming home from yeshivah or camp, or laundry after Yom Tov.
