Intersting how some cultures actually refuse to use water. Funny, but when I learned about water in school, it was said to be a renewable resource and we ultimately use the same water repeatedly. And doesn't photosynthesis and combustion use and release (respectively) "new" water constantly? So let's see...... a top-loader uses water but does not need a heater (excess electricity) or phospahtes. But a front-loader needs a heater (electricity) and phospahtes and TONS OF TIME (more electricity) to be effective. So which machine exactly is using more (non-renewable) resources? | ||

I agree. Lots more electricity is to wasted by home front loaders to compensate for the insufficient amount of water. My electricity bill has always been way more expensive than my water bill, btw. | ||

Yeah I just wish I could have one that did it all. I like the FL because they are gentle on my clothes and the colors don't fade. So it's a toss up. | ||

It does seem that a machine like this requires a leap of faith. I wonder if they truly use NO water, or if there is at least one fill to rinse or something. Does some electrostatic filter collect all the body oils and other gobble-de-gook? Does it all just magically go into the atmosphere? I'd love to see a demonstration of one of these machines. I still don't think I'd actually WANT one, but I'd love to see how it works. And IF it works.... | ||
