Under features it states something about 'Fresh Water Rinse' - what else is there to rinse your clothes in? Do other Frigidaire washers rinse clothes in not so fresh water? | ||

Interesting. It meets the Energy Star guidelines just at the minimum requirement and stated water usage is approx. 20 gallons per load. (8 loads/week = 392 loads per year / 7906 gallons per year). This is almost double the usage of Frigidaire's front-load washers with water use at 4085 gallons. It will be very curious to see how the new top-load washer is rated for cleaning, etc.

For reasons which defy, well, reason, I really want one of the new Frigidaire top-loaders. I've never cared a whit for any of the impeller machines, but I am taken with this big, cheap hunk of plastic. I'm the ultimate die-hard front-loader guy, and I love my 2010 Frigidaire, so the impeller machine would definitely be a novelty item for the laundry room, to be used only occasionally. I want to fill it with a load of greatly-stained kitchen whites and see how things emerge.
I like that it doesn't have a hanging suspension like other impeller machines. If they've basically kept the same suspension, etc., as the indexing tub 2006 I once owned, it will spin the most unbalanced loads you can imagine. I'm afraid if I wait for the rating from Consumer Reports, then I'll never buy it, LOL. Malcolm---Frigidaire doesn't exactly roll out the red carpet for their new products, do they? No interior shots, nothing. Way to pinch those pennies, Frigidaire! Oy vey. This post was last edited 09/26/2012 at 02:11 | ||

I saw a new Frigidaire commercial tonight on TV. It was for their new Symmetry double oven range but the commercial itself was done very well. They did a kind of a history showing old products from the GM era, even a skinny-mini Laundry Center. Then they did a flash of a lot of the old Frigidaire logo's before ending with the current one. It was pretty cool. I looked to see if it was on YouTube but apparently not yet. Watch for it.

The commercial that I've seen stop right after the compact stove, and don't show the skinny mini, or dishwashers. I like this commercial much better. | ||

Neat!
Now how does this machine work?? Is it a wash plate or agitator design? Sounds hydro-wavish to me in the blurbing!
Ah just reading the pdf, its a hydro-wavish. Greg did you see the use of "Sure-Spin" there? Old F trademark for the clutches on the later generation Rollermatics!! A little history there at E-lux. They are doing their homework. | ||

To hear that AD, you'd think they were claiming to have always been Frigidaire.
Those pulsating washers were GREAT!!! Those are my favorite types of TL washers. I always remember wondering why they quit making them because they cleaned so freaking good! They were LOUD though. I remember it used to scare the hell out of me when my grandma would turn it on and I was afraid to go in the bathroom when it was running. LOL. | ||

"Lower water levels Sounds not very efficient to me..." You don't get these machines in Germany so our inefficiencies are not your problem. Maybe the most efficient washing machines of the future will use urine to wash and rinse clothes. Now wouldn't that be something? | ||

No need to be rude In the Middle Ages, they've already tried to do the washing with urine, that's not as ridiculous as you might think! | ||

re: Fresh Water rinse...
I may be wrong but believe that Frigidaire does what the SQ F/L (and SQ Laundromat version T/L) does...partially drains then adds in some additional water...not a complete exchange of water unless one selects the option 'fresh water.' Our 2011 F/L model has a selection for "fresh water rinse"...and it is ALWAYS selected !!!

"Urine is slightly acidic for the most part" That's true, but when you let it stand it turns into ammonia. Now, on the subject of using urine to clean clothes you can google that. | ||

single layer of glass
I am sure that a dishwasher with a glass door would never fly with a single layer of glass. There would have to be a layer to protect from burns.
Of course one of the benefits to having a glass door would be blocked wash arm protection. And I suppose if the average user learned that it does fill to immerse the load in water, they might start to care more about loading techniques. Malcolm | ||
