When the Queen of England has her laundry done, it gets put through three full cleaning and rinsing cycles, before it is dried and pressed. If that is good enough for her, it is good enough for me to use a washing machine that uses plenty of water.

In fact, I vaguely remember watching this documentary on the Queen and they stated that even new linen get laundered, dried and pressed three times before they are put on her bed. Now, that is how I want my laundry done.

What ever happened to this washer. It seemed like a good compromise compared to the 5 inch deep rinse. Didn't this model have a series of spray rinses with no deep rinse portion.
Does anyone recall this model or how it worked exactly. Didn't seem to have been on the market for very long.

I suspect someone has their facts wrong or something was misread somewhere.
I would of thought the Queen has it Washed, Rinsed 3 times, and pressed. Considering the Royal Warrant was applied to Hoover washing machines that washed, rinsed 3 times and spun that were supposedly used in the Queens residences Id say that was nearer the fact.
Its been said before and it will be said again, Until America's manufacturers gets their heads together and stops this toploader redesigning business which must waste a hell of a lot of money and energy and will never work.
Where they should be is putting together better FL's that use Low Water, Extra Time, Faster Spins of 1400-1600rpm, 3 to 4 Low Rinses, and gets decent Euro standard detergents to use in them then the laundry situation wont ever work when it comes to water and energy conservation.

re: Whirlpool Resource Saver - I think that John/Combo52 has a few of these, if I remember correctly, and he likes them. There was something about them that made them unpopular; I think they were more expensive to build than a regular top-loader, thus they cost more to buy. The average consumer wasn't convinced of the benefit and it didn't sell well.
John may chime in here with the rest of the story.

Would cooled-down water temps be causing the scum issue?
We always use warm rinses with our DD and the inner and outer tub have remained spotless after all these years.

Yes, I think so. Too much cold water washing and lots of additives other than detergent is to blame for crud, mold and smells in washers. It has to be, because I don't have that problem with my washer, which doesn't have ATC and I do real hot washes.

Incredible.
I don't understand selling washing machines that don't ... clean clothes.
You can use HE detergents that don't suds (sud?) but is the detergent REALLY out of the clothes?
For several years I used my Duet and I now, having gone back to an Asko, remember what RINSED clothes were like.

The woman in the video says she "I use the recommended suds... always."
Could this imply that she is using too much detergent? Or HE detergent suds up when the clean rinse water enters and agitation starts?
I'd say she is washing in cold water, with a bad HE detergent or even a regular detergent and that is yielding the bad results.
Could her Admiral's agitation method also be the cause?
If manufacturers are so "obsessed" about making top loaders that use LOW WATER, why not follow a standard I have seen in Norway: Have the drum set horizontal like the front loader, but have a special latching door that you can open to put clothes in via the top with the normal top loader door?
That way, you get front loader in a top loader!
If it's such a problem, why doesn't she just return the machine to the point of purchase and get an exchange or sell it to some other unlucky fella, then buy a good FL or SpeedQueen?
Going back to the topic, if she washes in cold water, adds the liquid detergent in the bottom, that ends up in the outer tub, just sitting and not doing a damn thing. I'd say that when the machine goes into spin, some of the old detergent and other oily scum somehow gets back into the wash bowl, ruining the rinse.
So, start the wash with HOT or WARM water, once the water level actually starts "going somewhere" then add the detergent and LESS of it than recommended.
Maybe after following this, the lady would have better results
