Well... The larger portholes only give the "appearance" or larger capacity. Sure it's easier to get things in and out of, but the small port holes still serve the purpose, you just have to load and unload it a little slower.
I have had many delicate items and draw strings get caught at the end of these fins. They do not go all the way the the sides if the drum. Only complaint and no water level adj.
a little bit last night. Now when the water pools between rotations sequences, it just touches the glass.
Ran a load of dog blankets through last night with no extra rinse selected. The big difference? No dog hair left inside the tub. Not sure if I will leave the water at this level or not. Will need to run a weeks worth of washing through and guage the results.
In the Speed Queen Imperials, the pressure switch is in the rear of the top of the machine. Not at the front where the controls are located. I imagine they are in a very near location to the read controlled models.
I think total, it is probably 2 complete turns in. Should know by Saturday afternoon if I will leave it at the level or back it off a half a turn or so.
