I saw both of these machines now on sale at Lowes. At least they will make a much better alternative than the infusor models that just bounced clothes around on the bottom of the tub. The one infusor model they had was on clearance sale. Both models are hydrowave, even though the lesser priced machine doesn't state that. It also is not energy star rated and has a much higher energy tag, so I'm thinking this machine might do a true fill up on wash and rinse.
