I don't know anyone personally that has this washer.  Looks like fun!

What an aggressive tumble!  I also think the spin distribute is very effective.

I have a TOL 2010 Frigidaire Affinity front-loader that looks and sounds like this one. It's been a great, trouble-free machine.

Oh I like that!! Is the spray recirculating or is that how it fills?

It looks to me that the recirculation and fill is from the same flume. 

It also looks like in the video that at certain times it fills somewhere else in the machine.  I could hear water running but could not see where it was coming out.

Eugene might be able to tell us since he has this washer.  Eugene....does the recirculation pump run longer on other cycles?  I was also wondering if the tumble is differently in other cycles.

Thanks

Brent

1. Recirculation and water fills come from the same place.

2. Difference between recirculation and fill: The pump is audible during recirculation; it throws the water to the back of the tub. Fills look wimpier by comparison. Recirculation occurs several times during the wash portion of the cycle (usually for 30-60 second at a time) and during the two rinses. It can add water and recirculate at the same time.

3. There's a slightly longer recirculation time in the Bulky cycle, as I recall. Honestly, I wash comforters and bulky items on the Normal or Heavy cycle to get a full-length, 1300 rpm final spin. No explosions, yet, LOL.

4. Tumble speed is the same as shown for all full cycles except Delicate, which has a slower tumble with longer pauses. The Prewash option also utilizes a slower tumble, as does the Oversudsing protocol.

Thanks Eugene!

It does look like a very fun washer.

Do you also have the matching dryer?

There's also a traditional hose that connects the detergent dispenser to the outer drum to add detergent, bleach and softener to the load.

Cool!

The re-balancing on this is WAY faster than on my Duet. Good Lord, sometimes it's so annoying at making up its mind whether or not the load is balanced. And when it does re-balance the load, it's so weird how it wastes so much time before ramping up to see if it's balanced. This one doesn't take nearly as long....That's one thing I've never liked about my duet - granted, it's over 10 yrs old now..

I'd like to see a video of a normal cycle of this machine.
