My friend hand dyes fabrics and a good washer is a must. She won't touch a digital one. She has an old commercial top loader agitator. It spins so fast the fabric is dry enough to press when it comes out. Jeans and Carhartts come out damp dry. She had four boys on a farm and washing a load of jeans was an everyday thing. All washers should be this way. Less drying time. So maybe that's why they aren't made that way anymore.
