To each his own. I can agree to disagree 
Speaking for myself, and I am unanimous
Never had so much scum and lint on laundry as when had WP vintage "convertible" washer in Harvest Gold no less.
Despite "Magic Mix" filter and spray rinses after main rinse one's darks and richly coloured laundry resembled who did it and ran. Bunging things into dry did help somewhat, but good part of wash days are air dried on clothes horse.
Moved WP washer onto another member as was expecting another front loader, and that was that for one. No more finagling around with top loaders aside from Maytag wringer. The "new to me" Haier portable with impeller wash action may soon get the push as well due in part to lint/scum collected in wash.
Quite simply it is difficult to avoid such things when water drains through laundry using wash as a sieve so to speak.

Turbo Rinse Action
That is what Maytag called the Norge washer that "keeps white clothes white" I don't know if it was a spin drain or not.
Also, John, did you not say once that GE changed the holes in the tub because detergents were not having phosphates anymore and that had something to do with why fewer holes?

This thread reminded me of a Simpson TL washer that was introduced here in Australia a few years back. It had only a few tiny holes in the inner tub and water was constantly pumped from the outer tub to the inner tub.
The rationale was that the inner tub would be full of water washing the load but the outer tub would be only half or less full. A way of reducing the amount of water used during the wash / deep rinse. A bit like the old sold tub washers that did not have to also fill the outer tub with water as well.

Ingenious! Always assuming the worst, I wonder if the holes might become clogged in practice? If not, can see the idea working well on a VMW washer. Either that, just bring back the Calypsos.
You mentioned that this machine does a series of 5 spray rinses. I'm willing to bet, though I've got nothing to back it up, that those small holes might actually help in the processes. Do you have any vids showing the spray rinse process in full?
I thank you for showing me this washer.
