The washer/dryer argument will never end, but being on the Splendide side I find
it amusing that the slowness of its dry cycle is ever an argument. I see it this
way.

Laundromat: Dry in 20 minutes
Splendide: Dry in 60 minutes
Laundromat: Wait 20 minutes for it to dry.
Splendide: Wait zero minutes for it to dry.

Same for the wash part, not to mention the time to haul the clothes somewhere.
When the W/D is in your own house, it takes up none of your time to wash and
dry, regardless of the chronological time spent by the machine.
