OK
So I might be biased, but at least this iteration does produce visible rollover.
In Kirks video you can nicely see the black T-Shirt disappearing and reappearing.
It is slow turnover, HE TL turnover, but it is there.
And AutoFill seems to have selected a good waterlevel, half a tub should be fine.
But the manuals changed at lot as well.
A large load is supposedly 8-9 shirts and 5 plyester pants. That translates to roughly the load shown here.
For a washer with agitator and only 3.2cuft, that seems reasonable I guess.
That is the same for every washer still and every washer still has the same 4 water levels (small medium large auto).
The cycle versions depend on the serial number according to the manual.
I only looked at the TR7 manual for the start, and it says that the cycles for all machines with the serial numbers up to 1810 (including that one) were shorter and they got lengthend after those machines.
Normal Eco gained 20 minutes all in wash agitation, which more then doubles Normal Ecos wash agitation.
Without deep rinse, that takes now almost 50 minutes, with a deep rinse we would be at above 1h 5min.
Heavy Duty gained 5 minutes and takes 45min with deep rinse if you want high agitation.
Denims and Whites offer high agitation and a deep rinse as well and take 38min or 42min respectivley.
Super Soiled defaults to a soak, if you remove that, its about 43min. With 77min.
Eco Heavy is about 33min without deep rinse, about 51min with one.
Delicate and Perm Press both use medium agitation for lighter loads and run less then 40min with 1 deep rinse.
For a really gentle wash in short time the athletic cycle runs 36min with low agitation and still has almost 20min of main wash agitation.
So that TOL machine offers options that should be quite usable if you know how and times shouldn't be to long.
20min of wash should be enough with the improofed agitation profiles.
And you can safe the annoyingly set up speciality cycles as favorites as you need.
Oh, and you have Speed option which might crank the Normal Eco down again and probably will bring Heavy Duty to under 30min.
But actually, on the TR5 and TR3, the only cycle that - supposedly - gained time was the Eco Normal cycle by the same 20min.
The Heavy Duty cycle is still 40min with a deep rinse.
Other cycles are 36min and 35min respectivley with corresponding agitation intensities.
So I wonder:
Did they just crank up the preselected soil level on the Normal Eco cycle to max on the one model with selectable soil level and then copied that cycle to the rest of the machines, but kept the other cycles at their old defaults?
I certainly would say that TR7 is the one to go for. Most cycles with most combination of agitation time ranges and intensities as well as several pretreatment options.
