I just received my new March edition of K+BB.They have an article called "What's Hot in Laundry Systems.It begins with GE's new Profile Smart Dispense front load laundry pair which claims to eliminate guesswork by storing and automatically dispensing detergent and fabric softnerbased on load size,soil level,water hardness and fabric or cycletype.The washer has (H2ITION)technologywhich automatically senses the size of the load and adds the right amount of waterAble to "talk"via CleanSpeakcomunication,the dryer can adjust settings according to the washer load Each features a 4.2 cu.ft.capacity for the washer and a 7.5 cu.ft.capacity for the dryer.they are available in champagne,vermillon red and white.THE DOORS ARE TRIANGULAR!!!Not round or square.The display models are vermillion red and the doors remind me of Pepto Bismol tablets or Vics cough drops!I think the dryer drum is stainless steel.They look really neat!

My Mom had one of thoese for about 7 months and she and I hated it.It just couldnt wash and there is not enough water.I know there water savers but this machine when it would stop and reverse there wouldnt even be water dripping from the baffles.Nothing would come clean even on its longest time.I have seen videos of other machines and they looked fine you could see some water splash around.My Mom bought the machine from Lowes and she had it for 7 months.Dad loaded it in the truck they went back to lowes and they took it back after talking to the Manager and got all there money back also.They Came home with the TOL G.e. Harmony with the see thru lid.She Loves it I love to watch it wash its a water saver but you can fill it up if you want and its neat how it washes and so far has been a great machine.I think that L.g. had a hand in the harmony cause if you look at the L.g. Aussie web site you can see top loaders that our kinda the same but that harmony I haved to admit I Love.I would much rather have me a Frigidaire Jet-Cone-Action washer but my Old Norge is still running and thoese Jetcones are a hard fine.I am not bashing your machine so please take no offence I just hope they have let the machine have more water I stopped the washer during the middle and added two gallons and it washed perfect.Two gallons is nothing I dont think the ablity to add a little water is asking to much.There is one thing I dont like about the Harmony washer it cant wash shoes at all without the agitator the wash plate and Basket cant seem to clean them.

When I was dishwasher shopping last year, I think I saw a GE dishwasher that dispenses detergent the same way. | ||

When I go to KBIS, I am planning on picking at a few brains on thes new models.I think they're real attractive but I too believe a lot of these so called water saving front loaders are just not using enough water to thuroughly wash and rinse the clothes.On my GE(made by Electrolux)and KitchenAid Ensemble models,I readjusted the air pressure valve that increases or decreases the water level by the turn of a screw.My LG Doesn't allow that and I heard the newer Electroluxes don't allow it anymore.he water level in my opinion needs to be either right below or up 1/3 of the door itself.My KA was just above the glass but my GE was half the way up.Both adjustments I made improved the cleaning and rinsing 1000% especialy with bulkier loads like blankets and bedspreads.I dought if the increase was any more than 3 gallons max.

I suppose many people use the same detergent for all loads, but I use Cheer For Dark Colors (or Woolite For Dark Colors) for black loads, Ariel powder for some loads, SA8 for highly-stained white loads and Tide ColdWater for loads with items that need a strong detergent, but cool temperatures. And sometimes I like to use Tide HE or Tide with Bleach Alternative. Or Persil. Or Viva. Or UK Persil. Or Ace. In other words, a high-volume detergent dispenser isn't a big calling card for me. | ||
