And I'm not just being facetious; I really do! But I especially love the comments that are written by someone seeming to be on the edge of the cliff. We all know someone on the verge of spiraling out of control. Found one today!
The comment I am referring to is on one of the older posts in my blog regarding the Whirlpool Duet Steam Dryer. You can read the post here.
And now for the comment:
"I just want to know who the ignorant person who made this blog was? First of all this IS the first EFFICIENT dryer to come out with the steaming option. You mention two other products which use steam, but most definitely in a different way. All three products function differently. One is a massive space eating monster in which you can dry as well as refresh your clothes. It's economically and efficiently ignorant in itself. The other is a WASHER, that utilizes steam to help "penetrate the fabric." We're talking about a dryer that can steam the wrinkles and odors out of your clothes if you don't have time to wash something and need to wear it out now. This must have been written by a man, obviously with your "wet sock" idea, Sure that would work if you had 10 minutes to wait while the wet spots that you made yourself on your shirt dry. But this dryer DOES actually work. Try taking a physics class. vapor is a state of matter and mist is just another word for that. Just because you don't agree with their marketing strategies, doesn't mean it's not an effective product. I would buy it because it satisfies the needs of the customer. You don't like it, DON'T BUY IT. It's that simple you whiner!"
Now this oughta be fun.
"I just want to know who the ignorant person who made this blog was?"
My name is Brad. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my blog!
"First of all this IS the first EFFICIENT dryer to come out with the steaming option."
Okay, niceties are out of the way, so I am going to call "bullshit" on this one. There is no standard for measuring efficiency in a dryer. All dryers are energy pigs anyway, and there is nothing that makes this dryer more efficient than any other on the market.
"You mention two other products which use steam, but most definitely in a different way. All three products function differently. One is a massive space eating monster in which you can dry as well as refresh your clothes. It's economically and efficiently ignorant in itself."
I don't even know what the hell she means by that.
"The other is a WASHER, that utilizes steam to help "penetrate the fabric."
Well yeah, but isn't that what the Whirlpool dryer does? Someone help me out here...
"We're talking about a dryer that can steam the wrinkles and odors out of your clothes if you don't have time to wash something and need to wear it out now."
Uhm... yeah, kinda like the LG Steam washer. What the hell is your point?
"This must have been written by a man..."
And there it begins...
"...obviously with your "wet sock" idea, Sure that would work if you had 10 minutes to wait while the wet spots that you made yourself on your shirt dry."
Yeah, that's about what it takes. Throw the sock in, start it up, ready to rock in about 10 minutes. Of course, that's still better than the Duet Steam Dryer. According to the use and care guide, the two "steam" cycles take 15 and 20 minutes. So there.
On a side note, I say "steam" (in quotations, I mean), because the use and care guide says the dryer sprays water into the drum. So... does it use steam or not? Anyone know?
And I know some people who actually keep a spray bottle of water handy for just this purpose. Maybe a buck at Dollar General?
"But this dryer DOES actually work. Try taking a physics blah blah blah..."
I am wondering if perhaps this wasn't written by the engineer at Whirlpool that came up with this idea. I mean, how can a person be so emotionally invested in a freakin dryer? Or perhaps she just dropped a grand on this thing and is feeling very defensive about that decision.

Hello, Brad,
I am myself in the market for the new steam thing... between LG and Whirlpool. I did some "Googling" and just found out about this whole lawsuit thing, which seems really silly if you ask me.
What does it take to make steam? Water and heat right? So if you mist water into a heated area... steam. So Lg uses a steam generator. They're just mad because they spent more money making their steam dryer than Whirlpool did, and Whirlpool might sell more because they are a better known brand, and they just want some money too. So a steam generator, it's not inside the actual dryer drum right? The Steam has to get into the dryer drum, so it will cool a bit first.. ( they have a nozzle in the back) so how is that SO different than the Whirlpool steam? They just make the steam in the dryer drum instead of in a seperate generator... Not rocket science I don't think.
I think what this previous comment meant by Efficient, was that the dryer does an effective job getting the wrinkles out, not energy efficient. (By the way, you are super quick to bash people who comments that disagree with your opinions).
Anyway- All I care about is results, will this thing get rid of wrinkles and odors or not? Yes. Except LG has this thing that makes garments "easier to iron." I don't want to have to put something in the dryer for 20+ minutes then have to iron it! A normal ironing may only take 5-10 minutes, so now it will be 20+ 5 min to be ready to wear? What the heck. I want my clothes to be ready to wear when I take them out of the steam cycle, and that's what Whirlpoool's will do.
I am leaning towards Whirlpool honestly, it's a bit cheaper and it's made in the US for goodness sake. Blah blah blah, yeah not all of the parts are from here, but at least Whirlpool's headquarters are in the US and it's major manufacturing is here as well, instead of Korea.
Thank you and have a nice day.
