New Frigidaire FL!

The manual also shows that some models are capable of a profile wash, which I assume mean heats to a set temp from Cold.

The Stain treat button fills will cold water to treat protein stains and then heats to remove non protein stains and may add over 30 minutes to the wash time.

If that is true are there any other US machines excluding Bosch that'll do that?

I read a manual for the top-of-the-line model by LG and I'm pretty sure it does a profile wash. Of course neither Bosch nor LG are American machines, really.

Mark---I wouldn't get too excited about the MAX FILL option. My top-loading 2006 Frigidaire labels its highest water level SUPER, and it fills only to the third row of holes down from the top of the tub; in other words, medium.

And don't forget to add the steam option too!!

Capacity Differences

The energy star website advertises the Frigidaire's drum capacity in cubic feet based on the DOE standard, while manufacturers use the IEC standard, which just inflates the size of the drum because it takes into account the size of the drum with an agitator, which is about .4 - .5 cubic feet. So a 3.9 cu ft front loader would be equivalent to a 4.4 cu ft top loader with an agitator. Basically, both should hold the same volume of clothes.

Don't things always look bigger in the mirror????
