The loads in the videos, seem to be very small. The denim load looks like two pairs of jeans. They never show a real full load. I think a Twin-Tub with the impeller on the back wall of the tub moved more water than those HE Top Loaders. Cool videos nonetheless. | ||

that's the thing with machines and capacity.....especially for these HE machines....
even though they are meeting government standards for an X amount of water savings.....and despite how big any given machine is....the only requirement is that it can wash an AHAM standard 8lb load..... when I questioned Frigidaire for the minimum amount of water in my FLer....despite its available capacity, only enough water was used to wash 4 large bath towels, equal to 8 lbs......that fit their criteria....even though this mentality didn't make sense makes you think of those machines with larger tubs, up to 5 cu ft capacities.... | ||

It seems this is just another one of the washplate style machines used in other countries that essentially just stirs the water in each direction, rather than moving the clothes in a uniform fashion the way US Whirlpool machines like mine do, and like the one in the video linked below. Whirlpool and Fisher&Paykel have pretty much taken the crown in the US by designing an effective impeller design that actually rolls the load in reverse while keeping balance and distribution, and are also gentle on the fabrics. Other washplate style top loaders such as Samsung and LG, and machines such as this "360 Bloomwash" design, seem to just yank the clothes around into a ball. The Haier machine we used in the apartment in Australia was like that. Basically it just violently spun the impeller one way, then reversed, and the clothes and water just twisted and tangled, and the machine wasn't really effective at cleaning even with the excessive amount of water it used. The key is that the rounded humps on the Cabrio style impeller are scooped in each direction so that each stroke pushes the clothing from the outside towards the middle but the strokes are kept relatively short so the load doesn't start to ball up and tangle on itself.
Apparently the "Start At" feature on YouTube doesn't translate to an embedded link, so start at 3:54 to see where the really good blooming begins. | ||

thanks Louis......I was thinking the same thing when they said that.....
this goes back to when Maytag introduced the Neptune, claiming that they were the company that invented the agitator, and was now removing it..... they may have bought the patents to the agitator design, but they were not the ones who actually created it..... Whirlpool is probably trying to claim the same thing, as they have now acquired Maytag's name, now trying to re-write history as its their claim to fame... I don't know exact specifics, but don't think we have hit the 100 year mark just yet.....in thinking were about 10 years off... | ||

The videos are fun to watch, but... This thing seems kind of silly to me. I can easily envision turning it on and seeing an error code displayed on a dead machine. It's like an Osterizer with 20 speeds. I suppose in some areas it may be important to have a Sari Cycle but it seems weird to non-global me. Here in Palm Springs it may be a good idea to have a BS Cycle...Bermuda Shorts.
I'm sure the BS Cycle would do a fine job on "Hostess Pants" too...you know, the ones you wear when giving smart dinner parties.

close enough Bob, the former name of Whirlpool was the Nineteen Hundred company. See how I did that Louis? No chiding, no badgering that a silly little error was made. | ||

Hey Martin, When the Neptunes first hit the market the Maytag reps would say "as long as you can get the door shut-- it will handle the load"! (They failed to mention cleaning quality with a packed drum, however, I never heard of any complaints). | ||

I have packed them plenty of times, never an issue with cleaning quality, or an issue with it handling the load....
one other claim to fame, it could hold, and handle ten king size sheets in one load!!!....that's a lot for the size tub it has..... I have no issue washing my king size sheets, 4 pillow cases, and quilt all in the same load... | ||

I think there is already enough washplate top loading washers on the market already in North America. They should concentrate on bringing the prices down. I think $2000.00 and up for a washer and dryer set is outrageous. | ||

" I think $2000.00 and up for a washer and dryer set is outrageous. "
Absolutely !!! But what really gets my knickers in a knot is commanding the same price for the dryer as the washer. There are probably 3 times the amount of components in a washer than a dryer. If it's a FL washer you have the suspension, water system, pump(s) system(s), Drive systems weights, and more in depth complicated controls. Dryers... Motor, Drive Pulleys, Heating Element and controls. So the same amount for the dryer just so they aesthetically look alike ? Not that Desperate for them to match. When ever I had to replace a dryer I used to go to Sears and get the Next up from the BOL Kenmore and they were terrific. (That is when they were made by Whirlpool.) | ||

On Sears Canada's website, www.sears.ca... this dryer is actually more expensive than the matching washer... unreal...

What the f-word hell! I've spent the last few months designing an impeller for a new model that will reach the market in a few months... it is EXACTLY like this whirlpool impeller. I had no idea they were making that until now. | ||
