Smalls overflow Smaller articles of clothing catch between the inner and outer tubs and get smashed against the glass during the wash. There is a plastic guard that keeps them from sliding between the two.

Those SQ machines are quite pretty! But only ONE rinse? In an FL washer???? YIKES!!!! On that note, I wonder how programmable those commercial machines are? Can they be programed with higher water levels perhaps? More rinses? Warm rinses? I know they boast about the fact that they are now CEE Tier III energy certified, but, I wonder if (and hope) that can be changed! ;) | ||

I'd say the irony is you have to pay twice to get a wash and thee rinses and it will still take a full hour. I'll take 30 minute Wascomats that bolt down. Pre-wash, wash and three rinses as well as interim and final spins and all in about 30 minutes. | ||

Free Wascomat Sweet toggles, have you got a lead on a free Wascotmat I can use to take the place of the Neptunes? | ||

The SQ's are certainly nice looking but one rinse?? Yuk. I'd bet they are able to be set for other options by the owner, Peter will probably know for sure. When the Neptune coin-ops first came out, you could pay extra for a longer wash cycle but I don't remember what all the options were for that. You can hold the door switch button in on the Neptune for a while to see the wash cycle but once it gets to a certain point, it will stop and cry for help if it doesn't sense the door locked fully. | ||

~lead on a free Wascomat. No I don't know. I DO know that Wascomats are pricey, even used. But PeterH owns a laundromat. Maybe he can guide you to some websites or laundromat chat boards. I have a feeling that if you ask for it, it will manifest itself. | ||

I think the home version of the SQ FLs have longer wash cycles (45 minutes for a regular wash) and default to two rinses, with a switch for a extra third one. I also have the same problem with small kids socks and kid-sized washcloths ending up on the rubber boot next to the door glass in my Bosch 500. I always try to check a few times during the wash & rinse and often have to pop open the door and toss 'em to the back of the drum. | ||

With a machine like that there's no wonder a "vintage" top loader is better! One rinse?!?! Yuck! Even 3 rinses (in a crap Whirlpool FL) most of the times aren't enough for me as I can still feel detergent. | ||

Wascomats...
I just used a local laundromat the other day; probably my first time in one in years. I just wanted to take the bedspread down and get a good thorough wash and dry. Not a single toploader in the entire place! I'm used to at least seeing a few dependable care Maytags or something but all they had were 3 FL Neptunes. Everything else was some version of a Wascomat. Years ago I used to go to a laundromat when I was living in my college dorm. I remember it was called "This Suds for You" as it was sporting a small smokey bar that served cheap beer. It was so smokey in that little bar that the laundry side of the building smelled too (sometimes people would just walk over to get their laundry folded while still smoking their cigarette. Nice... Anywho, those Wascomats really used the water. I remember some of them filling up nearly to the top of the glass on the door. The clothes were absolutely swimming! Even the triple-load machines would fill up rather nicely. The other day with the comforter yielded much different results. Not a single machine had visible water in them. I was hoping for a least a little more in one of the rinses but no. Very little. It made me really appreciate the washers I've got here at home. One thing an old washer could always do better was rinse! | ||
