This model by WP was not released too long ago. It *LOOKS* to have slightly shorter cycle times and features a built in faucet to help pre soak clothes. CLICK HERE TO GO TO washerdude's LINK | ||

Same
I personally am more interested in FL washers. In the past, every time I buy a WP appliance, just as soon as I buy it, they change the model and it's no longer available. That happened with my Duet in 2005, and then my Maytag dishwasher in 2014...No sooner did I get them, they were no longer available.....and yet, now, it feels like it's been forever since WP has done anything with their FL washers.

Hard to believe 70 years of automatic top load washers with real transmissions will be gone in a couple of months with Speed Queen closing out the era. A moment of silence. | ||

Silence? There were probably people mourning the end of wringer washers also... | ||

Mark, I'm curious to see when they will begin offering FL models with the Guided/Intuitive Controls like on the above TL washer as well as their flagship 6.x cu ft. largest top loader. The WFW5090 & WFW3090 have a hint of future control panel dynamics. These two models look like they are actually initially for the European market with documentation phrases such as Rinse & Hold rather than spin only. It also offers a warm rinse option supposedly. Only Heavy Duty offers xtra hot temp. Doesn't look like it has a heater or steam--which is essentially as far as I'm concerned for any TL or FL He washer useless one just wants to wash in tepid or cool/cold temperatures. | ||

Yes Bob, the WFW5090 & WFW3090 are similar to the Whirlpool frontloaders sold here on the European market.

WP's current line of BOL washers use the old agitator and work very similar, aside from the auto sensing (which actually uses more water than necessary). So they are still a good option.
I just bought the F&P WashSmart and it is the same as it was 20 years ago, manual fill selections and everything. MT just came out with a commercial "residential" washer with a 5 year warranty. It also uses a normal dual action agitator. So no frets mates. There are still good options out there. | ||

Yes seems as though the "Normal" cycle has been sabotaged and is the victim of energy regulations. Probably because 75% of people use Normal for everything. haha.
My Maytag 765 has a new version using the larger tub as a base. It's the 865 series with an agitator, 5.2 cu ft capacity. Now on Normal, you can NOT use the Deep Fill feature. My machine allowed it for everything, except Sanitize. Makes me wonder why SQ had to redesign their machines so drastically if only the Normal cycle is affected anyway. Perhaps because the old agitator could not do well with large loads of clothes and low water levels. Hence why WP uses more water on their AutoSense machines than is necessary. Because the old agitator is not designed for large loads/low water use. | ||

Food stains Over here, most soil on my clothing is sweat, deodorant and several different food stains. Everything gets clean... Oh, and, it never really made much sense to anyone who understands a laundry process in all its different facets. So I'm with you on 5hat. | ||

normal cycles for normal soils, for the most part, work very well....
I have been fortunate enough to have access to specific laundry loads that not everyone gets to encounter.... -greasy mechanics uniforms -soiled diapers -jeans/denims and heavy garments from construction it gives one a chance to test, machines, cycles, water temps, detergents and additives what is good, what is bad...pros and cons...and what works best...preferably with minimal effort/interaction... and you experiment in search for what fits the bill best.... if those results show it can handle the worst, you know that formula can handle the 'normal' everyday items with ease... no matter how far into the future we go with laundry, one thing we always come back to, stick with the basics, it works every time...even though you may have to alter some of the variables... | ||
