Same thing with washing machines.
The idiot government bureaucrats decided how much water I should be ‘allowed’ to use to wash my clothes.
Apparently not enough to actually get them clean
so I just run it for 2 cycles, for a net 20 gallons MORE water used (shhhh don’t tell the laundry police)
The nice thing about a traditional model, where you can actually open the lid, is that you can see if you need more water and you can then add HOT water from a hose attached to the laundry sink faucet if you want.
The GE model I referenced in #166 does have a huge stainless steel tub. Their *small* sized load is quite adequate for a regular amount of weekly laundry for 2 adults who wear jeans and sweatshirts and actually get dirty. I can look, see how much water is in there compared to the washing and actually add water on the fly.
If we all begin to inspect every appliance before we buy, ask a lot of questions, do research and demand something that works, we will get it.
