This is probably an inherent thing with top loaders in general. Whether they spin or neutral drain.
When I was introduced to neutral drain in college with a plastic tub GE, and later WP direct drive, I could watch the soap “scum” later fall on top of the clothes while draining.
So I see...
Spin drains
Our house, my grandparents, and aunt all had pitman Maytags.
They all did spin drain. And lint or streaking was never an issue.
I’m not going to say it’s all false, I don’t have that data.
The Maytags also had that center lint filter that worked well. Maybe that helped mitigate...
You are a unicorn then.
IDK.
Lots of people don’t have this issue.
Are you worried about a few little bubbles on the boot?
I’ll be honest, I’ve had lots of top loaders too, and even when those do all their deep rinsing, that rinse water is NOT crystal clear. There were soap suds remnants...

Bob, Whirlpool, GE(Haier), Electrolux all make select ranges and cooktops, even electric ones, in the USA still.
Mostly around TN, NC, GA, if memory serves me correctly.
I just want to add, I think Tide used to rinse BETTER maybe 10yrs ago vs today.
Whatever low sudsing agents they used to use, seems like they removed them.
But P&G keeps £¥¢@ing with their formulas.
Even Cascade is stupid foamy today!

Maybe you’re still using too much.
Tide and Persil are horrible rinsers.
I had issues with them too in my old Maytag front load, and I had soft water too.
What did I do? I used no more than a tablespoon for an average medium load.
For very dirty and full loads, I used 2tbsp...
Impressive loading technique!
I’d honestly be surprised though, if any water makes it to the 3rd rack. The 3rd rack like itll steam clean only.
I await the results.
If your front loader is not rinsing well, then you’re using too much soap.
Politically, I try to refrain from it on forums like this. Usually is no point. You won’t convince anyone online.
But I draw the line when peoples’ political “opinions” or political actions put into jeopardy my life...
Watched that last night.
I was very shocked about WP MT.
He used to recommend them as recently as a few years ago.
But this is not the first time I’ve heard recently, a tech or repair man NO longer recommend WP MT.
They must be really in the dumps.
Enshitification as they say.
Even GE top...
You’re asking an UNANSWERABLE question.
There isn’t even a merger.
You want us to guess what decision fictitious managers would make about wash systems?
Why? Makes no sense.
Bit off topic but, are Kirby fans more prone to breaking than old Hoover or Eureka direct air machines?
Reading these posts and just inheriting the grandparents’ old 1980 Eureka ESP got me wondering.
I don’t remember any of our cleaner fans breaking while growing up. Or hearing of broken fans...
Thinking about this more, it seems that the WP DDs needed that corkscrew agitator more than others. Their tubs seemed narrower than others. Especially the large capacity units with an extra deep and narrow tub, needed help to push items down to the fins.
lol uhhhh I’m pretty sure it’s NOT due to geography, but all to do with money, cost cutting, and turnover of management, marketing, and engineering turnover. And probably some outsourcing.
I remember the Whirlpool display case our Sears had as a kid. They had PC motors in a clear box. One had a tuned absorber. One didn’t. The one without the absorber had a loud low tone drone. The tuned motor did not have the drone. But it’s not what I’d call quiet either. So it was a noticeable...
Kudos to Whirlpool for keeping their portables on the US based Global Wash platform and not the Chinese unit everyone else has moved to.
GE’s hard food disposer is FAKE. It’s been fake since the Triton XL era because they put the chopper blade behind all the filter screens. It does nothing but...
