Look VERY closely at the drum.... What's wrong with it?

Found this video on Youtube of the previous generation Whirlpool Duet washers. Look at the drum very closely, you only get a couple of glimpses but, WOW! Did they have a new drum in the prototypes and then decide to not use it? I wish they had! It looks very pretty!!

That sure looks like an LG interior or a Miele with indented dimples.

Well, whirlpool may have finally got it right. I took a look at these the other day when I was at Lowes. The drum is no longer tilted. There are jets in the baffles. However, I have been told that the hot water setting is only between 80-95 degrees.

Nice, but none of the Duets has this drum - not even the three new ones (94, 95 and 97HEX). And the control panel says "Clean Washer with Bleach Only", rather than "... with Affresh".

Hot water at 80-95°F? :O That's cooler than I wash my dark delicates! How are stains supposed to go away without pre-treating? Does the machine have an extended wash period?

I read that, too, but it must be wrong information from Whirlpool:

WhirlpoolWFW97HEXL/ Maytag Maxima washer temps

Those temperatures BETTER be a mistake! Cuz if not, I'll cut a b*tch!

Hmmm. I went to the site and looked at the manual......they took away the skincare rinse. Oh well.

I was in Best Buy and looked at the Duets and on one model the drum tilts toward the front by 2*. is this normal?
