I recently purchased the mechanical control version for my mother. I have yet to set it up for her but this thread prompted me to revisit opting for mechanical controls. Most of the additional features found on the electronic version would go unused by her except perhaps the soak feature. But that got me to thinking, how useful is a soak cycle in a FL machine? That is unless it adds far more water or rolls the load sporadically. Can someone help me here on this, go easy i am fairly new to AW cult, err group ;-] |

Soak cycles in front-loaders: A tub of water isn't required to soak clothes. They need only be saturated with water and detergent or other presoak agent. Soaking in a front-loader makes more sense thanks to the high concentration of detergent. Periodic tumbling, as Rich mentioned, loosens the stains. A soak, a prewash and an extra rinse can be added to a front-loader's cycle using comparatively little extra water.
