So, Samsung is advertising better stain removal and better results at lower washing temperatures with their PowerFoam (for US) and EcoBubble (Europe and probably the rest of the world)

That recirculation jet looks decidedly weak. Why don't manufacturers use decent strength pumps? |

All that is doing is adding water flow. Gravity and tumbling cause enough pressure anyways. |

The Miele W1 machines look as though they have a much more powerful recirculation jet. |

Just a different angle and outlet nozzle shape, doubt there is much pressure difference. |

I wonder what the wash results and time saving would be if manufacturers fitted a dishwasher recirculating pump to washing machines...? |

I like Panasonic's system: dump some water anf detergent into thw outer tub, spin the drum - foam and mostly dissolved detergent. The disadvantage, however, is that Panasonic has to use a motorized sump valve to prevent detergent from being pushed into the drain pump area.
Some manufacturers premix detergent with water and spray that onto the clothes (TOL Whirlpool US and Panasonic in Asia, for example). |

Don't think so. I mean, we had one for a short period (VG4-generation). The recirculation pump is attached to the drain pump filter housing, so water will be pulled through there anyways. |

There is something called "Rosalie's Zero Suds" and I heard it works quite well. I don't know how much it costs, but it must work well. I don't use a lot of detergent in my Maytag, but if something is heavily soiled, I use a little more, but not much. Sometimes there will be a lot of suds at the beginning of the wash cycle, but at the end before the first spin, all of the suds will be gone (the soil in clothes can eat up the suds)
