Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

That looks like the equivalent of Whirlpool's entry level front loader without a heater, no thanks!!  Gotta have a heater in these things for it to wash really well, especially with Canada's very cold climate in the winer.
 
Sensor dry--actually uses a sensor inside the drum to "feel" the clothes as they tumble, sensing the moisture level and speeding up or slowing down the cycle until the clothes reach a desired dryness level.

I don't know about newer machines, but on the Maytag Dependable Care/Plus dryer I have As long as the sensor detects a certain level of moisture it doesn't advance the timer and cycles the heater until the moisture level drops. On these machines you can watch the blinking light as to when something damp touches the sensor. As the mositure level drops the sensor detects moisture at lower levels causing the light to flash rather than remain on constant, and it advance the timer and cycles the heater.

For sensor or auto dry cycles, you must use a heat option. It won't work on Air only or fluff cycles.

On Auto dry, there is a sensor in the exhaust duct. Moisture laiden air is cooler, as the exhaust air gets warmer the dryer cycles the timer and the heater.

Per the lastest Consumer Reports magazine I was reading at the doctor's office yesterday, Sensor dry is slightly more accurate and efficient than auto dry, but both are better than just setting a time and over/under drying the items hoping they are dry.
