1) False -- you can use smaller amounts of regular detergent that doesn't oversuds and still gives great cleaning results. The rear tub seal is secure. These machines perform great in a laundromat where HE detergents are seldom used. 2) If you are washing properly (i.e. using hot water) and not going hung-ho on softener, you shouldn't need to do this either. 3) Very true for all frontloaders. Leave the detergent dispenser door up too. |

I have had the original Neptune since 1997(first generation). I use both HE and non HE detergent. Have had no problems. Only experienced the wax motor and circuit board failure($350 repair). Now, the Neptune gets a break because of the Vintage TL Maytag that I picked up this past spring, and the last of the new TL DC Maytags that was purchased last fall. I have seen several laundromats that use the Neptune. Must be a reliable machine for that commercial application. |

My favorate laundromat has them, the commercial Neptunes, and according to Pam, one of the owners, they are a little souped up and more heavy duty than the others that we would have in a domestic application. The machines themselves are 1500 a piece. At the Top notch laundry, they are maticulous about cleaning every day, it is indeed the cleanerst one of its kind that i have ever been to, plus it is open 24 hours a day, and most of the outside three of the four sides are all glass. for extra security.It has been in the same spot since 1961.Everyday they clean all of them out, plus on the Commercial version, the gaskets are black instead of grey.This is all i know about it:)
