the standard AHAM load, which has not changed in decades, AND for any given machine out there, no matter how large of capacity it has....
as long as it can wash 8lbs, EPA regulations have been met!...
this one is demonstrating an excessive amount of water used.....but for the HE machines that are 3, 4 and 5+ cu ft capacity, loaded full of clothing that is not getting wet, or cleaned.....just note, that machine is overloaded!....but give it a standard 8lb load, and it will work just fine.....
thats just the way it is....
