I was just kidding. I actually use the waterproof Xacti. Crappy photos, but I've been very happy with the video and sound quality. Sturdy too, important when you have kids magnetically attracted to playing with the most expensive thing in the room.

Have a good week.

@Paul: I recommended the Xacti because I know two bloggers who use it and are very happy with it. (Tajee and Kevin Cooney). It didn't occur to me that it was made by the same company as our dryer until you pointed it out.

Go right ahead and follow me on Twitter.

Is that why you recommended the Xacti on Twitter? (-; We have a Sanyo too - looks similar. It sure wasn't free, but it's been great. Don't think we've ever used anything other than bat water in it. The drier seems a bit of a waste of energy, but the air wash is great if we forget to wash the kids' school uniform! Friday night and I'm writing about washing machines, surfing too much? I'm trying out Twitter, and just started stalking, I mean following, you. Hope you don't mind.

What amazing service! I guess it pays to be generous. Looks like a little tidbit of good karma came your way.

The hose on the side is to suck the used bathwater out of your tub into the washer to be recycled. But we don't tend to take baths in our house and it's too far away from the washer anyway. If you wan to wash clothes in hot water that's the only way to do it--washers are connected only to a cold water faucet in Japan. It's a Sanyo Sanyo AWD-AQ100, and can wash 9kg or dry 6kg. It has an "air wash" cycle that uses negative ions instead of detergent to kill germs and deodorize, and an "ozone steam" setting to remove stubborn stains. I see on the web page that the model is no longer being manufactured, which means it's probably a leftover model from last year, but hey, so what.

Very good deal for you. If that happened here, we'd probably have been lucky to get a coupon for a discount on a new model.

So that's a washer and drier in one unit? That sounds very cool, and I'm curious how it works. What model is it, I'm curious to dig up more info about it. How big of a load can you run at once? And what is that on the side – a vacuum, or a rinsing hose?
