I wonder if they would have gotten the same results if they grabbed the heat gun from the paint shop and dried those stains on before washing.....

but I never understand why manufacturers claim their machines can hold 20 pairs of jeans or 30 towels, but never demonstrate a full load in a commercial, usually only one or two pieces at a time....

No, I haven't seen that model yet.

BUT,

That video could have been a lot better minus the rock music. I would have loved to just hear the ambient sound when they were making the video.

And what did the shirts look like after they were dried? Sometimes you can see the faint outline of a stain after the fabric is dried.

Proof is in the Pudding

I was lucky to have heard any vague descriptions in between those rock music cuts. The video seemed rather bogus to me. You're right. Full load demos should be done by the manufacturers. Otherwise, we resort to doing it ourselves, only to prove whether or not these machines are trash.--Laundry Shark

Unless they let those stains dry overnight--and it appears they didn't--the Power Wash cycle was not given a demanding test. It's certainly not as difficult to remove a fresh stain compared to one that has had time to settle in and dry.

So basically, if you get a stain on your shirt, get up from the dinner table, strip, and put your clothes in the wash for two hours while you stand there naked.

Sounds like the perect seduction plan to me Malcomlm. Guess it wouldn't work with a clothing optional environment!! I've got my new Maytag with PowerWash on order and can eassily trip while serving dinner and have food land all over them. My new dinner menu is furry, burly, stocky, meat-on-the-bones beef!!!

Yeah, I guess it would be better without the music - since I cannot watch it in my country as it contains "Content by Sony Entertainment"... :-(

Well I have to chime in, I think they had done an all cold water wash (which is a profile wash in Launderess book) until the water temp ramps up to whatever 140* so it would take as long as 2 hours to bring the temp up extending the wash cycle longer than normal to get the same load cleaned if only hot water used minus 30 minuets.

Now why didn't they show us what cycles options was used, and how much detergent was added?

Lowes must be slow if they have a bunch of people in on this!
