Cold water clean probably means non-ATC controlled cold-i.e. tap cold temp. I owuld imagine ATC is always engaged except for cold water clean. It would be nice if the heater energized more than on Sanitize. I believe that's a feature of the Electrolux washers--the heater is used to slightly raise or maintain temp. Steam is probably an option on both hot and warm wahes on certain cycles too and if like Whirllpool, is independent of Sanitize. I just hope hot is hotter than 110 and warm is hotter than 90 degrees F. Front loaders don't appear to have as dumbed down water temps as top loaders. That's one of the reasons I prefer front loaders. Hmm, insteqad of water temp or wash temp, the button used to select wash temps says auto temp. there's an energy saver button under the time display, that oculd mean atc set points are lowered or if reall lucky, the normally energized supplemental heater is disengaged.

Well, they're new to the website today, as I checked in around 7:00 this morning and they weren't there at that time.
I stopped by my local Frigidaire dealer and they said they have been informed about the new machines, but they are not able to order them, yet. Same with the new French door refrigerator. Now that they're both on the website, they should be available quite soon. I'm liking the washer/dryer, and the price is certainly right! Getting a 4.4 cu. ft. drum, steam, and a 1300 rpm spin speed for under a grand is a bargain. This post was last edited 06/02/2010 at 22:10 |

Did you read the manual? Did you try to seek the answer to that question? It's in there.
"Increase the water fill level of the agitation portion of any wash cycle" The manuals for all the new models in this new series are there, not for just some of them. In fact, the manual is one of those all-encompasing ones where all the featues are covered for the sries so it just depends upoln how high up you go in this new seeries as to whether all the features mentioned in the manual are one the machine. |

I'm printing out the manual as we speak! Believe me, it's taking all the fortitude I have not to call my local dealer and order a pair this morning. I'm forcing myself to wait until CR reviews it---that should give me time to get over my "new washer fever", LOL.
Looks like Frigidaire has come up with a pair that can at least begin to compete with LG and Whirlpool. FINALLY!! This post was last edited 06/05/2010 at 13:00 |

Wow! Some of the newer Duet's have MAX rinse option now (although I have no clue how deep MAX rinse really is.)
Now the new Frigidaire machines have MAX fill option. It does say "Increase the water level of any wash cycle" So you can only increase the water level in the wash and not the rinse? Ideally, one would be able to increase the water level of wash and rinse, but if they only give one option, I'd rather the water level be increased in the rinse cycle, not the wash. (Perhaps on this machine you can increase the water level in rinse as well), but it doesn't sound like it with their wording. I wonder if it's a disgustingly small increase or a decent increase in the water level. I've wondered this about the Duet MAX rinse but I have never seen a video or anything on that. |

Bob---I looked over my finances, which was more than enough to kill my 'new washer fever'. It would simply be stupid for me to go into debt $2500 (need those pedestals, of course!) when I have two washers in perfect operating condition.
Oh well...it was fun while it lasted, LOL. I'll be in much better financial shape in a couple of years (knock on wood). Gotta keep my eye on the prize, as they say. |

Three models, tested in 5/2010, with model numbers ending in 4272, 4473, and 4474 are listed having a tub volume of 3.81 cu ft. I think that Energy Star ratings are more conservative than the mfg. ratings.... |

I read a manual for the top-of-the-line model by LG and I'm pretty sure it does a profile wash. Of course neither Bosch nor LG are American machines, really.
Mark---I wouldn't get too excited about the MAX FILL option. My top-loading 2006 Frigidaire labels its highest water level SUPER, and it fills only to the third row of holes down from the top of the tub; in other words, medium. |
