2015 Speed Queens with Electronic Controls

[DADoES]

 
F&P's previous flat panels on laundry units (except the TOL AquaSmart and AeroSmart with capacitive panels) use tiny mechanical switches/buttons beneath the overlay instead of a membrane panel.  The buttons 'click' when pressed.  They rarely fail mechanically far as I'm aware.  The overlay panel is subject to cracking if not handled with due care.

My GWL08 has cracking on the Start button from when my grandmother was using it.  She always kept her fingernails long, filed, and polished.  I could not get her onto pressing with the finger instead of the nail.  The machine has had no electronic failures in 15 years.  Only repair is a pump replacement.

My LG dishwasher had the smooth, capacitive glass (or was it plastic?) panel and I far preferred that to the "bubble button" mechanical pads on my Frigidaire washer and dryer. The mechanical pads take noticeably more pressure to engage. The smooth panel required only the slightest touch and it looked elegant.

Where did you guys get those computer models showing what is to come? That would be awesome though if they still have the option of a regular cycle with a full rinse and just use the eco cycle to get past the regulations.

I'm a little confused by the chart's 4 gallon rinse cycle starting in 2018. In a top loader that's enough for three or four pairs of underwear. Of a really skinny person.
