So, I guess the $64,000 question is how does it reduce water use to get that Energy Star rating? Is a portion of the wash water retained for the rinse ala Speed Queen? A very low water level for the rinse? Low water levels for both wash and rinse?
Interesting that we don't see impeller-based top-loaders being used in commercial applications. Gee...I wonder why not? |

You can't use sudsy water to rinse out the clothes, when it is detergent and dirt laden, can you?! Thats a joke, if I ever heard one... |

Andy where have you been, this is the new dual motor, dual belt, dual transmission WP Commercial Design, it even has a Power-Fin Agitator with center pullout lint filter, LOL.
I really do not know anything about this washer but I suspect that it is just a DD WP washer.
As Malcolm mentioned WP has many patents on very effective spin rinsing systems like used on the Resource-Saver washers of the late 1990s. The six recirculated spin spray rinse system rinsed much better than one deep rinse while using less than 1/2 the water and it automatically used the correct amount for the size and absorbancy of the load being rinsed. I truly wish Speed Queen could use some of this technology to save their top loading washers from extinction. |
