 F&P agitator machines also have the shower rinse function. IWL (Intuitive) and older non-EcoSmart units such as my GWL08 offer it as an option. EcoSmart models do shower rinsing by default on Regular and Heavy Duty, unless the Softener Rinse option is selected. I have used shower rinse on my IWL12 several times, it seems effective. Jerry, what model is your friend's AquaSmart? There are several (LCD, LED with dispensers, LED without dispensers). Available options differ a little per model. Selecting conventional mode (non-HE) for cycles that allow it should change the rinse to use more water. Some units have a separate option for AquaPlus Rinse on the HE cycles. Models with a softener dispense option also change to a "deep" rinse when it's selected. | ||

In 1973 appliances didn't come with efficiency ratings. But the whole washtub was 5 gallons and it could be used for as much as half a week's laundry. Sounds pretty efficient to me.
Can't blame government for everything disappointing about laundry machinery. Some of it is just plain bad design. The center and side disc didn't work as well as the corner disc, which the Panasonic was. | ||

But the control panel was black with numerous buttons all across the back of the machine for regular, sheets, perma press, etc. I did see the "fabric softener" button and advised her to use that the next time.That would be an upper-end LED model, which is mid-line for the AquaSmart series. It may/should have the AquaPlus rinse option. Advise her to read the user manual thoroughly for all the options that are available. It may/should also have a Clean Me cycle which runs a deep-fill full-hot wash with a soak period and two rinses, intended for cleaning the machine of scrud. Agitator EcoSmart models also have a hidden machine-cleaning cycle which can be used to wash clothes. Not sure if AquaSmart may sense for a load and refuse to run if not empty ... she'd have to try it. AquaSmart is of course a sibling (slightly smaller capacity, rated 7 kg or 15.5 lbs) to the original Oasis/Cabrio/Bravos models that were designed around F&P SmartDrive motor & basket drive. | ||
