HA !!!

Decent concept but the only shirts we fold are our t-shirts. Thus, I'd still need to hang dress shirts and golf shirts (which I wear to work). Now, if one could just dump the clothes from the dryer into that contraction then it would be very cool. Right now it still looks like you have to insert each shirt 1 by 1 in an organized manner for it to fold appropriately. At $980 it's still a lot cheaper than getting married ... lol

The kids are learning the value of doing chores and earning money by doing things like folding laundry.

Throwing a grand at this machine undermines that teaching, and you still are left with having to put everything in dressers or closets, standing over the machine while it folds, likely losing a shirt or two to 'paper jams', and having to fold everything else that doesn't fit the folding template.

I see this having use in a commercial setting, where repetitive folding for hours on end every day would be either a burden or health concern to workers, and things like uniforms are the only thing being washed.

Wifes are expensive in the long run, and they only end up taking 1/2 your stuff when they are unsatisfied

I’m glad I hang everything except shorts, socks and underwear. Also glad I don’t own a dress shirt or pants.

Laughing I never got money for doing chores. My mom said "do it" so I did. Hanging clothes on the line, taking them down/folding them/putting them away, ironing, shining my stepdad's boots, washing dishes, cleaning the bathroom, mowed the lawn, stacked firewood, etc. 

In the 80's most of us did what our parents told us to do for the most part. We may have rolled our eyes and complained for a minute but we did it without expecting anything. It never occurred to us that we were "owed" anything. At least not among anyone I knew. We learned the value of earning money when we got after school jobs.

Lol.  I realized how it read after posting.  I almost edited it but figured I’d wait for someone to comment.  I just don’t own dress pants or khakis.

I’ve been guilty of this on more than a few occasions.

Leasing pants is the way to go.

Well, I’ll tell you it this, it bites you in the butt whenever you turn them back in and they have traded paint due to an unfortunate rear ending.
