The usage pattern with a Splendide is definitely different than when you have
high-capacity W/Ds available, but it is not hard to get in a habit of one or two
loads per day that don't interfere with anything else you might be doing
(except driving!). The zero minutes waiting for wash and zero minutes waiting
for dry are concurrent, since the machine does both automatically.
