You don’t need a washer with a “delicates” cycle. A normal “permanent press” cycle works. On the other hand, even the cheapest washer and dryer made in the last 35 years usually has a “delicates” cycle.

I know not of this “end of season” of which you speak. Pray tell what is it?

As for not having enough clothing for a full load, I think the problem is that you aren’t riding enough.
