@mtn1584 Thanks for breaking it down so accurately. I had already concluded that for things like dress shirts and pants, even though it didn't seem logical to me, Delicate (rather than PP) was the way to go, in order to avoid wrinkles. For the rest, PP will probably fill the bill, although in...

As far as the difference in extraction goes...the SQ cut the dryer time, compared to the GE, by at least 20 minutes. The clothes from a mini load (1 pair of sweat pants, 1 gym towel, 1 shirt) came out nearly dry/a little damp from the Eco mode of the SQ. It was just the wrinkling that made me...

Thanks DaDoES. That makes sense.

Thanks Mark. According to the GE site that model I listed (not the exact model I had, but close) has a spin speed of 700 rpm. But I had a plastic ribbed drum on the GE, not a stainless steel smooth drum like on the SQ, so I don't know if that made a difference or not. I have a feeling for my...

Malcom: It did stop. Or at least I thought it stopped -- between the spin and the extra rinse. But I didn't put my ear up to the timer to double check. I paid more careful attention when I used the extra rinse, and there was what seemed to me to be a LONG pause after the spin and before the...

Update: Note: I wasn't able to read the instruction manual because the guy from the store who installed the machine didn't remove the packet with the manual before he turned it on to test it (it got drenched), so please excuse my ignorance of what is probably covered in the manual. The sheets...

I did want to add that AFTER DRYING (in a Whirlpool gas dryer) the clothes seemed fine. (And yes...I am using the same dryer as I did with the GE.) It was just the shock of seeing what they looked like after opening the lid that caused me to post here. Also, after doing a load of sheets, and...

Oh. And I'm certain that the machine had completely finished the cycle before I opened the lid, but I'll try again just to make sure. As far as what I was washing: 1. A few towels and a pair of sweatpants on the "Eco" cycle. 2. Some pants and shirts on the permenant press cycle. 3. I'm now...

The GE I was using is no longer made, but it's almost identical to this one: Model # GTWN4250DWS It didn't make any difference if I was washing a very small load or an average size load -- the clothes were all plastered up against the side. (And as I said...the only setting I didn't try was...

Please tell me it's something I'm doing wrong. I just purchased (TODAY) a nice Speed Queen AWN432SP113TW01. It's exactly what I wanted -- or thought I wanted: a traditional, normal, no bells and whistles washing machine. No locking lid. No jingles that sing to me. No expensive electronic boards...
