Just too fake. All in the name of making a name for themselves

Clothes with detergent in them rinse better when the detergent can dissolve in a large body of water as opposed to a tiny body of water.

I do have a modern front loading feature packed washer, and I hates it , hates it!

I am not going to join the 21st century for some things... I do like some aspects of the 21st century, like GPS, and like some aspects of the 20th century like Washers! Then there are some things I like which are a combination of early to mid 20th century technology + late 20th to 21st century tech, like RestoMods.

I am in the Great Lakes MidWest. We have abundant water . Californians decide to live in a desert and grow crops unsuitable for such a climate. It's not like all the water I conserve is going to California.

The problem is that the appliances are being sold as being just as good or better when it could very well not the case and simply a case of propaganda. We were told low flow shower heads and toilets were just fine but lots of people hated them.

You know what is surprising is that they had to have known the woman would get a lot of abuse for her girth. So why set yourself up.

What front loading washing machine do you have, BoomH?

Boomhauer

This one. GE Profile steam washer with Eco option (which I never use).
GE Profile Front Load Steam Washer (PFWS4600LWW): Remodelista

Dam thing does not even fill up water above the bottom of the door. I remember way back in early 90s when I was living in London, my Hotpoint front load filled up above the bottom of the door . I'd say about 20%-30% of the drum was filled.

I know. I see signs like that and hang my head in shame that the public authority deems the public too stupid to understand the 24hr system. It's like one has stepped into simpleton USA :/

The real problem may be the laundry detergent. The new HE detergents are made so that very small amounts are needed with the new eco washers. Some people still toss a whole capful in when a half-cap will do fine.

In fact, some experts say that one should try using less than half of the amount the HE detergent manufacturers "recommended" on the bottle/box--otherwise detergent remains in the clothes.

Half a cap? Exception for really dirty clothes, we use about a couple of tablespoons (about 1/4" in the cap), and it works just fine.

I wouldn't be too hasty to throw the word 'simpleton' around so freely. We've all read your posts, don't forget ...

Some Americans do use 24-hour time and the metric system. They also spend a lot of time abroad.

I know, America's finest 'patriots'. To everyone else, they're brainwashed killing machines.

The guy in the back row seems unusually short. The ones in front have to kneel down so that he can see.

The GE model looks good enough, and shouldn't be experiencing any of the issues you cite. Are you using HE detergent? If so, how much? Concerning the 20-30% of the drum being filled with water; that sounds perfectly acceptable to me. Why do you believe your washing machine should use more water? Is it due to detergent still being left on your clothes? If so, that's the fault of either too much detergent or just buying a crappy washing machine.

I've had both Bosch and Miele washing machines, and none exhibited any of the issues you cite.

Frankly, I get bored listening to (usually Americans) whine about front loaders. They're wrong, pure and simple. It's like trying to defend buying a Chevrolet when you should have bought a VW.

I wouldn't waste your time, to be honest. He's doing it deliberately.

Nobody is really that dim-witted to believe the the absolute pinnacle of cultural superiority is knowing there are 24 hours in a day, and being able to divide and multiply by ten.
