Easter Egg I like how the machine will pause after the presoak/prewash and sound a tone for the user to add detergent for the main wash bath. Proceeding automatically after two minutes. Cool feature! Malcolm

Specialty Cycles Explained I wonder if wash performance would be greatly improved using one of these choices... Malcolm

Commercial Maytag? Nope. Malcolm

Spiffs Does that mean the fl machines are not part of the spiff program? That's how I read it. Malcolm

Warranty... The warranty is a bit unusual across the FL lineup. For example, if you select the FL rear console washer, 5 yr. The matching dryer, 7 yr. What's up with that? Meanwhile, the SS FL washer and dryer get 5 yr. The SS dryer is 5 yr while the white rear control is 7 yr. Longer...

Imagine That... Looks like the FL machines aren't being discontinued after all. Other than the door reversal, I see no change to programming/cycles or options. Malcolm

F&P compared to SQ The test between the two models above is flawed. Comparing the wash plate model of the F&P with a traditional SQ is not a fair fight. When the F&P is set for HE mode, there will be a lot more concentration of detergent on an 8 pound load than when you place the same 8 pound...

Training video Remember in the training video, they said the programming was still being tweaked. Maybe waiting for a second gen machine is best. Here are some observations... 1. There appears to be only three distinct water levels on the machine. Auto sensingjust picks one or ups to the...

Load Sensing Through a transmission wouldn't have been possible. The transmission and older motor design had to be replaced to achieve load sensing. Malcolm

Specialty Cycles? Didn't the training video mention Specialty Cycles? What are they? Malcolm

Well... The original post hit it on the head for many shoppers. I bought the uber machine because it had the features I was looking for, not for capacity. Malcolm

Short video So you are assuming from a video clip of less than three agitation strokes that this machine doesn't clean at all? And that you could have designed something better? Have you submitted your resume to Alliance yet? Malcolm

Even At Low Water Levels... The clothing is submerged in the water. The recirculating pump would be worthless. I don't think we have seen enough of the washing action to condemn the brand and the rush to judgement is irrational. Malcolm

My Take-Away... In the current 2017 model, the wash action is at the bottom of the tub and clothing needs to circulate there to receive the surge of water. In the new machine, the cleaning action is all throughout the tub. The water will surge over, around, and through the clothes when the...

All Things Considered... It certainly did outperform the whirlpool they put it up against. And I do think a top loader that operates at 43 decibels is huge. I just wonder how the cycles have changed from what we are accustomed to from speed queen. Malcolm

Tub Leaning... Did anyone else perk up when the teach spoke about tub leaning during agitation? Usually caused by a broken or fractured snubbed ring. Resulting from damage during shipping or delivery. Interesting... Malcolm

Late 60's Model 100 Kenmore I think there is a member here with a near mint of this machine. Gordon, perhaps. Malcolm

Standpipe Could be as simple as the standpipe is too high and or the drain hose kinked. Malcolm

No water level control = Fail Seems rather dumb to me. Forcing a full tub fill for all cycles except the tree hugger Normal. I expect the normal cycle prevents hot water too. Styling it to mimic the look of the coin op is kind of funny... Why are they so out of touch with what the consumer...

Lint Problems Linting issues can be exaggerated by under dosing detergents. Make sure you are using enough. Additionally, over rinsing can contribute too. Malcolm
