A typical evolutionary stage where you can later get all that to become smaller, lighter, and much more compact enough to fit in the machine... Isn’t that a weight, too, up-front, on the face of it? The whole thing almost looks like a camera, I mean, it’s on what’s one-more leg added to a tripod, and that...
I'd one long ago read about GE and Sears putting Suds Savers in their washers (& at that time maybe not printed there, but likely Whirlpool, too) in a Consumer Reports magazines or buying guide paperback, before either there, or here, later hearing about and seeing Maytag also offering it, in the cabinet, like those makes, as well...

>It looks like it was a royal PITA to use.
It's not the most convenient solution...but I wouldn't mind having this gadget. It looks like it could add the ability to save and reuse wash water to any washer, which would be nice. Of course, having a Suds Saver washer would be better...but that assumes one can find such a washer. I'm not sure they'd be very common where I live, for example. I once actually toyed with the idea of rigging up a pump system to so I could save and reuse wash water (with manual shifting of the drain hose to accommodate the rinse ). That would have been less convenient than the Maytag Savasuds. I remember talking about the idea with someone at a hardware store (I think I was asking if they had access to electric pumps that might work), and he indicated he didn't think it would be very practical. Then, of course, came the how "wonderful front load washers are, and how little water they use!" pitch. (At least, he probably had no benefit of me buying a new washer--this store didn't sell washers. So it wasn't like a big box hardware store where they might say: "That's a terrible idea! Forget it! Just to Aisle 13, and drop two grand a new front load washer!!!!") |
