Believe it or not, the original Neptune 7500 got an "A" rating for cleaning from a British consumer mag a few years back. It's just not as gentle as a, say, Miele, nor is it as frugal with water and energy as later "big" front loaders. It looks like you picked all the right options to guarantee maximum cleaning in your Neppie. Presoak, longest cycle, hottest water, stain cycle (it forces the first rinse to be hot as well), all good choices. The one negative about the Neptune program is that there is no drain after the pre-soak. When I have really grungy wash I'll do a warm rinse/spin with a bit of detergent, then a regular wash w/o the presoak. That way the gross contamination is rinsed away before the wash proper. | ||

I have an older neptune 8 or 9 years old now and it drains out after the prewash and soak,then refills for the main wash. They must have changed the program over the years. Jon | ||

I do declare, a front-laoder is AMAZING for all the things o and also for all the things one CAN wash in a top loader... | ||

Retroman, Huh. News to me. I didn't know that the older Neptunes did a drain after pre-soak. The only problem with the Neptune draining after the pre-soak is that there will be no detergent for the main wash unless you catch it and add more soap to the dispenser just before the main wash. That's because there's not a separate pre-wash detergent dispenser on the machine, so any detergent added at the start of the cycle will all be dispensed into the pre-soak. | ||
