I said I might try the eco cycle (with extra rinse) just to see how it does. When I used it to clean the tub, it took about 25 min, with deep fill, before I did the rinse.
I Was very satisfied with the Bulky cycle. Clothes and towels both came out really clean. Took 40 minutes, agitated for 8, which is what I used to set the old machine on.
I will try Heavy duty next to see how long it takes/agitates. Doubt we will use delicates, or permanent press, never used them on the old one. Wish they listed the agitation times.
I did find this for water, hope it's correct:
1. Eco cycle = 12.5 gallons per fill or 14.5 gallons with deep fill.
2. Permanent Press/Heavy Duty = 14.5 gallons per fill or 19 gallons with deepfill.
3. Delicates/Bulky = 16 gallons per fill or 19 gallons with deep fill.
That's why I tried bulky (no deep fill), but it seemed like more than enough water, so I'll try Heavy duty next, with no deep fill.
We aren't mechanics, I do IT work. So unless I do a car repair, or have some home project, we don't have very soiled clothing.
