Best part about it...no stupid safety lock, I hate modern washers and dryers.

They have safety locks now? (Sorry, I'm still using my old Whirlpool 30 year old washer/dryers as well)

Yeah you can't open it till it comes to a complete stop... imagine trying to do a last min load before work 😒

Can't you just hit stop? I've got a newer (3 years old) one and no safety lock (it just stops when you open the door) but don't see why you couldn't just stop the load and open it.

The ones with the newer safety feature you hit stop and it just keeps tumbling and tumbling until till it eventually comes to a complete stop then it unlocks...it's even worse with the washer because they won't open until all the water is drained out, it takes forever. I don't even understand how the hell this is considered a safety feature, if a kid crawls in there how the hell are they supposed to get out with a lock on the door??

They have child locks you can enable.

My parents’ dryer isn’t even that old and doesn’t do that. The washing machine does lock but takes 3 seconds to unlock if you pause it our turn it off.

Oh hell no, I literally have to pull clothes out just before work every week.

I just recently seen where a child got locked in one. Not sure if it's true or not.
