--to put a glass window on any appliance if you can't see through it clearly??? What the hell are they trying to hide?? The top end models that are now made by LG have a light but it's still not clearly visible because of the darned opaque windows.They look great and perform outstandingly but it's not that easy to see the interiors.What a disapointment.

it seems they caught on to poor washing results from lower water levels...and this 5 way action compensates for it time will tell if its a well thought out process like the issue I have with my frigidaire FL...too little water and the drum rotates too fast, not allowing the clothes to plunge into the water |

those rythms seems to put a lot stress on the motor by switching directions very fast. I have no idea what there lifetime will be. |

I don't see how the "stress factor" would be an issue with a beltless,direct drive,DC motor as it would be with a belt drive front loader.All the newer front loading washers since '95 have a reverse tumble anyway. So,why would these different patterns of tumbling have ANY effect on the machine they run???

Water is being poured over the laundry from above via the paddles. At least that is how it is done on my Miele with it's "scoop and ladle" wash system Remember how front loaders clean; basically compressing the water/detergent solution through laundry, much as what happens when one washes laundry by hand (or against a brick). Shorter or eliminating the pauses in theory should increase the washing action, but it could also increase textile wear as well. |

Saw a TV commercial about it and was curious on what this group would think. |

What are these people trying to hide from customers???? Is it the fear of someone looking into the window becoming horrified by seeing racing stripes on your husband's/wife's/partner's underware??Is it that too many customers are wining about too little water use???Whatever their reason,I don't agree.Yes,washer dryers of today,especialy the high end front loaders,can and have become design icons in the laundry room.No longer being hidden out of site from guests or visitors.However,I see no reason to try to hide the interior or it's movements.To me,it looks like they're embarresed to allow anyone to watch it work.Furthermore,why spend all that time and money on the smoked glass and have an interior light??? WTF?????? Maybe we here at AW need to get a petition started and send it to Sears as well as LG,GE and Frigidaire (Electrolux).

Yes,the punn was ment to be.Does everyone here remember the early 70's ranges?Do you remember how you still had to open the darn oven doors because the black glass window just didn't cut it? Cakes would fall from the shaking caused by opening the door and so would your soufle's. It wasn't till around the 90's that the range manufacturers decided that a clear,larger see through glass door was more practicle enabling one to actualy look inside to see the food cooking without opening the door---imagine that.i think the smoked or black glass was introduced to hide the splatters and burnt on stins on the insid of the window as well as the dirt on the walls especialy the old cotinuous clean models.
