I spent last week at Disney World in Florida and did my laundry at a hotel/resort laundromat. Along with the many Whirlpool TL's, there was a lone front-loading GE, which I, of course, used. I found 75 cents in the pouch of the door seal/boot from a previous cycle; a pleasant surprise. Wicked pricing scheme: $2.00 to wash/$2.00 for a 30-min. dry/$1.00 for single-serving Tide powder/$1.00 for Downy---someone's making money here, kids! The cycle must be shorter than the non-commercial models, because I came back within 45 minutes and the machine was already finished. Had the usual dispenser drawer and a cycle progress dial. I believe there were 4 temperature settings. |

zzzz- My 2003 Frigidaire FL ramps up to max speed gradually, as well. My 1996 (first generation Electrolux-built) would quickly ramp up to 850 rpm, but only during the last 60 seconds of the spin cycle, which I always thought was too brief to make much difference. It would have been nice if I could have stayed to watch and time the cycle on the commercial GE, but circumstances didn't permit that. The jeans I washed felt pretty dry upon completion of the cycle, but I don't know if it spun at 850 or 1000 rpm. |
