I had always wished all the manufacturers producing washers for the US market would have allowed the user the option to select wash temperature, in addition to spin speed, like the Danby rather than only being given description of cycle and vague temperature information. Not all of us are stupid when it comes to washing in a front loader. Front loaders offer too many advantages over top loaders for proper laundering, temperatures, and spin speeds. The "European" approach to laundry is far superior.
