Hey Thomas!
Well I can’t offer an opinion on this as I have never experienced an overflow rinse. So I can’t compare them. But as we have both seen, when you have come over to my place for a wash-in, my Hotpoint toploader with the filter pan does remove a bit of lint but definitely less than is captured by the dryer’s lint screen. I wonder how this compares to an overflow rinse. I wonder if it makes any difference at all after tumble drying.
Could I add something to your question: is an overflow rinse only possible if it’s a solid wash basket with no holes? If so, does this mean that heavy soils such as sand and grit can be left behind in the basket/laundry?
Hope you can drop by for a wash-in next time you are in Sitges!
Hope all is well Mark

Having owned both type of machines, I would have to go with a good lint filter such as the GE filter flow. It was good system at removing some, but not all, of the lint. Just my humble opinion. |
