wash action(gentle to vigorous) is based on water level/cycle/weight of load....big machines don't even do that...
on the Avanti, there was only one lid switch, connected to the left lid hinge.... on the MagicChef, there were two, left lid hinge, and another along the right side of the lid, a magnetic trigger.... water temp....if hooked to the sink, temp was what you set it, if hooked to regular laundry taps, and WARM is selected, the HOT side cycles on and off every 30 seconds... the 1.6 size machine is equal to a 12lb load, or basically the same size as a standard TL machine from the 60/70's..... amazing little machine....the size and weight alone make it a perfect fit for so many applications, fits on the back seat of most any vehicle... |

well, yeah I have to admit my Kenmore Limited does a speed change based on water level....but any model below that doesn't do it automatically...
I am just really impressed with these little machines.... the flexibility on some for cycles, options, spin/rinse or full fill rinse or even both....not to mention the AirDry option.... and many have the fabric softener dispenser built into the balance ring....I remember with the lower levels of Whirlpool's VMW, they offered a 2.00 Downy Ball.... if something like the Cabrios offered all the features of these little machines, especially like the HE or Non-HE mode....they may have been a better more effective machine... I would still like to get ahold of one of the 3.0 machines....roughly half the price of the standard full size machines...yet all the features of the small ones.... a slight downside is the 3.0 is not portable....they are meant to be permanent hookup.... the matching dryers are catching up in equal sizing to the washer.... |

I have that magic chef and I love it... Over 3 years and no problems at all. If I were you I wouldn't try to hack the water level sensor because it's a PAIN to adjust. |
