NEW!!!We now present the "auto load detector" KN 800 clothes CHOPPER!!A new recipe for shredded clothes-not enough water to circulate them in-so they get chopped up by the 120STM agitator!Think the system should go to lo speed if it selects lo water level.

Now are we sure that it would start at 120 spm and not the full 180 spm. I dont think I would want a machine that would agitate at a low water level with a full load. The clothes would really take a beating. Even for 10 seconds the damage that could happen would be eye popping.

You're right Jason!!!!
There's NOTHING like the real thing.......
That is a cool looking 1972 Model 800 you're posing with.
The old one is FAR MORE attractive than the newer looking one I saw on Sears' website, if I do not say so myself.

2009 Model 800 Series
Over heard a conversation about New 800 Series Kenmore, Energy Star, seems that alot of people are returning them because they keep lifting the lid and doing this makes the cycle/system reset. They said people want to see if the water level is correct for the load size and when they lift the lid it resets the cycle.
People are exchanging down to 700 Series that allows water levels to be chosen manually. 700 Series is currently the best seller.

If you open the lid during the first 10 seconds it will reset the system causing the machine to do a High Fill. This is normal and not a defect. The latest machines will now have this notice plastered on the machine, not only in the owners manual. You know how EVERYONE reads the owners manual......

The upper end Maytag Classic line has Porcelain top and lid, a few extra coats of paint and is fully galvanized steel. Same with the dryers.

LOLZ so true no one reads manuals and wonders why they dont yet fully understand most things, it maybe a good idea for kenmore and whirlpool to put some sort of indicator for those people who are curious or need to know what the water level is. who knows what other kinks they have to work out! i wonder if the agitator dogs will wear out faster since the washer first needs to sense the load before filling to proper levels. my advice just buy the cabrio,kenmore, or maytag bravo agi models....

Why don't they just put a window lid in this machine? Problem solved!

Window lid...
Because it won't do any good if you use warm or hot water. The window will fog up.

All you have to do is wait for the machine to finish it's sensing / fill cycle and you can open the lid to see how much water is in there.

small update
well after i read the more complaints than compliments of this washer from sears website i found one customer says that the agitation during the sensing process uses "very slow agitation like its delicate even in the heavy duty cycle" (im paraphrasing) well i guess thats a good thing (no wear and tear on the clothes or agitator dogs).
And i agree with eveyone else the consumer should educate themselve about the appliance just let it finish filling and then check the water level jeeeezuz LOL
