From what I've heard, this can be curbed by running the delicate cycle. I by no means have long term experience with these though

I just ran down to check. Mine is also on delicate. Still ruins the clothes pretty quickly compared to my last newer one.

Ok but what’s the best reply to your username you’ve gotten in the past month?

In addition to running a delicate cycle, if you wash your clothes in mesh, zippered laundry bags, it can help a lot to reduce wear-and-tear, too!

The power move here is to only wash your clothes twice a year, everything in laundry bags, delicate cycle, and line dried.

But those springs in the clothespins will wear out if you use them too much....

3d print a little cap for them in the rain so they don’t get rusted! Now we’ve solved it

Almost had me. Can’t dry your clothes in the rain, dum dum.

3d print an enclosure to prevent your clothes from getting wet!

But then it doesn't actually clean very well.

Eh, I don't recall the test engineers mentioning anything on them really ruining clothes or anything. I tend to run them on either normal or heavy soil, cold wash.

My mom has the washer. I never had any problems with clothes getting ruined, it's a great washing machine

My method is to put the clothes into a soaking cycle for 30 minutes, then wash on delicate.

I have these after 25 years of other brands and styles. Will have for the next 30 years! I use quick cycle and gentle for almost everything. Best purchase I’ve made!

I've recently started doing this with my newer machine. Less lint appears in the dryer's trap.
