Friend got a new clothes washer, efficient water saver top loader. OMG, what a disaster. No agitator, water goes only half way up the load, barely turns load one time during wash, and does not clean the clothes. Checked online, disasterous reviews, but big box stores don’t want them back. So, people dump extra buckets of water in and select the super wash, to get just mediocre cleaning. The idea works for front loading, but NOT for top loading. Unbelievable.
Manufacturers have dropped water levels in all machines to meet increasingly stringent EPA guidelines.
Some of the best engineered American products in the world are now garbage.
