  was reading consumer reports the other day and am wondering why they rate most model GE front loaders just "good" for gentleness on clothes while the samsung top load is rated "very good" how can a front loader be rough on clothes? i would think the samsung TL would be rough on clothes.... i always take everything CR says with a grain of salt anyways, another thing i noticed was the GE harmony recieved a lower score for noise than the LG waveforce.

 Increased cycle times to make up for the reduced water levels have lead to some front loaders being just as harsh as some top loading washers. There is so little water and froth to cushion the load laundry bangs against itself and the washer tub a bit more harshly. This leads to increase wear and tear on wash. One way around this would be to launder smaller loads to increase the water to textile ratio.

Seems if anyone should point it out, Consumers' should. That all this "high efficiency" nonsense is bunk. If you have to do 1/3 smaller loads to get the same results, you have to do 1/3 more of them. So where did your 1/3 savings go? The worse news is, you have to pay for the airhead bureaucrats who cooked this scheme up. | ||
