Another reason that front loading washers lost their popularity is the fact that Proctor and Gamble's approach to selling the new product out called "Tide"which was stronger and the new item now available called detergent instead of soap.Their advertising for Tide was that it made "oceans of suds"which sort of brainwashed people to believe that the more suds you see,the cleaner your clothes get.It also meant that if you had a front loader and used it according to the directions on the package,your machine would (being one that used much less water than the top loading wringers or automatics.)Become so full of suds that anywhere there was an opening to releave presure from the interor tub,those suds would come out in buckets.This became a major problem and started a bad seed regarding front loaders and their problem with high sudsing. Since then,washer manufacturers have introduced new models that have"fuzzy logic".This sences the excessive suds and automaticaly drains the water out and refills the machine untill the suds are at the correct level.Doing that keeps the washer from "throwing up"the exvess suds and keeps the machine's motor and pump from breaking down from excessive strain.This as well as conciderable increase in load capacity has increased the desire for the product and most major appliance companies now have their own version of these wonderfull machines!! |
