Eve Launches New 'Eve Extend' Bluetooth Range Extender

[Rookie42]

Thanks, I actually really appreciate that.

Correct, I am from the States so seeing a machine that small, to me, just doesn't seem practical. Generally speaking, I do a single load of laundry once a week. That's all my clothes plus towels, wash clothes, hand towels, etc. (the majority of my clothing is dark so I can get away with washing them all together). I also dry my clothes.

So while I've never actually weighed my laundry, just visualizing it in my hamper, I don't think it'd fit in a 2x2x2 washer or dryer.

You're very welcome.

I figured some background info on how we do things this side of the pond might help to explain the amusingly small machine!

I don't weigh my washing either - but when looking to buy a machine, the load size in the specs is provided by weight.

When I do the laundry, I usually do clothes in one load, a separate load for whites, separate again for towels, and separate again for bed linen. Depending on who in the house has what to wash, different things go in the machine, obviously. Generally, for a towel wash, two large bath towels and two decent size hand towels will suffice for a single load. You can get the odd extra small towel or dish cloth in there too, but that's about it.

Clothes - a week's worth of clothes for one would fit, depending on the size of the person, and the weather (shorts obviously take up a lot less space than jeans!), but realistically, our machine normally runs at least 5 times a week. However, the "daily quick" cycle takes 34 minutes... so it's not really too much trouble for general day to day washing.

As mentioned, we don't get a great deal of good weather to dry things outside, but we do when we can. I only really use the dryer (we have a separate machine) for bed linen and towels (makes them nice n fluffy!). However, as you may know, using a dryer shortens the life of fabrics, so I prefer to air-dry when possible for all clothing. On the plus side - hanging up a small load of washing doesn't take as long as a larger load! Obvs!

Obviously none of this has anything to do with the bluetooth extender... which is a pretty nifty device... but is a shame it's limited to Eve kit. I only have one piece of eve kit at the moment (power outlet), which works perfectly well as it is within range of bluetooth of my ATV, so no issues for me at this point anyway.

I am, however, interested in the wall light switch... sadly not being launched in the UK, and the EU version requires a neutral wire, which is uncommon in UK electrical circuits... so I'm stuffed. Oh well!

Man, if I was doing laundry five days a week, a) I'd never sleep and b) I'd be spending an entire tank of gas-worth of cash on laundry a month. Interesting about the cycle lengths; the cold cycle on my apartment's machines is only 23 minutes. Drying is an hour, though.

I don't have the space to hang up any laundry, and even if the cats wouldn't pull it all down, they'd never dry because this year has made my place ridiculously humid. Like above 70% most days. Fighting mold has been a royal pain.

Yeah, my bewilderment completely derailed this thread, lol.
