The washer JasonL recently purchased, the new console-less WT1101, has just topped Consumer Reports' ratings for top-loading washers, with an overall score of 82. The price is $700.
Cleaning performance, water efficiency, energy efficiency, and capacity are all rated Excellent. Gentleness to fabrics is rated Very Good. I'm assuming the spin speed issue has been solved with this new model or the energy efficiency score would be lower. It's advertised at 1100 rpm. It's one of the few top-loaders which combines an Excellent cleaning score with a Very Good gentleness score. My Frigidaire Immersion Care rates Excellent cleaning using the heaviest soil setting, resulting in a cycle time of 110 minutes, but is brutal to fabrics at that setting, with a gentleness rating of only Fair. For an extra $100 you can step up to similarly-styled model 1201 that features WaveForce technology. Boos and hisses: Neither model has an internal water heater. I was hoping the 1201 would have one. This may have to be the new toy in the laundry room later this summer. This post was last edited 06/14/2013 at 12:34 |

If the spin speeds could go to 1100 RPM-could this machine SPIN-SPLODE? |

If it can, I'm sure there will be a video of it very quickly. |
