Is it a “green” friendly washer? If so there’s your answer there. It reminds me of the regulations that brought about the smaller capacity tanks on commodes. Now it takes two flushes I stead on one to do the job and 1 1/2 times as much water. Congrats liberal control freaks. Good job (proving what idiots you are). Liberals are good at envisioning grandiose ideas and telling others what to do but not so good with reality and actually doing any of the labor themselves...
Every appliance nowadays is “energy efficient. “ Really doesn’t save energy. My last washer was like that. Had to run a load through 2 or times because the washer used so little water, the clothes weren’t rinsed properly.
About toilets: I had one of those water savers. I think it was the original version. You’re right. Had to flush it 2 maybe 3 times. Where are the water savings?
However, when I had my bathroom remodeled last year, I bought an American Standard. Still not a lot of water but it has some sort of suction mechanism that sucks everything down. I have not experienced any problems getting the toilet to flush.
