Thanks for the videos, John! It has a very interesting agitation action and really moves the clothes and water around vigorously. I can see why HE detergent is needed. I've used Chinese Tide before, having been sent some as a gift by Retromom (Venus). It was certainly not low-sudsing, but I loved the almond-y scent. |

John--- I use a few special settings (I have a 2005 iMac) in QuickTime to get better quality video on YouTube. I found these hints at Vimeo, which is like YouTube, but not as popular. Their big selling point at the time was the quality of posted videos was better at Vimeo than at YouTube. Anyway, these are the settings in QuickTime that I use: Compression Type: Sorensen Video 3 Frame rate: Current fps Key Frames: Every 60 frames Data Rate: Restrict to 1200/kbits/sec. Quality: Best Size: Use current size Don't know if all this is Mac specific, but the quality of the finished product on YouTube is great. I think the Chinese Tide has an almond-like scent; At any rate, it's different than American Tide. It's a warmer, mellower scent. Maybe we need to come up with a universal glossary of descriptive words to use for detergents, ala the wine-tasting industry, LOL! |

Very Cool Machine! Very quiet! Did you by chance make any videos of the final spin? Thanks for posting! It looks to be very well made. Brent |

Hi John. I enjoyed the rinse video. It came out great. Was the Chinese Tide packed inside? Was anything else packed inside your new machine? Ross |

That wash action is VERY similar to the GE Hydrowave,except that the agitator moves in a 360 degree arc while the tub is stationary. Makes the same type of sounds as well. GE uses an inverter motor to accomplish back and forth agitation. |
