I was at Sears this weekend looking at the Kenmore Steam Washer. Also looking at their twin the Whirlpool Duet Steam.
My question: How much water do they actually use in a normal load?
I asked the salesman this question and was told, "It uses 73% less water and 55% less energy than the standard top loader."
Wonderful, how much? My Maytag super capacity uses approximately 50 gallons for a normal load. How much do the front loaders use?
"About 73% of that."
"So how much?"
"I think it's about 30 gallons."
"Then that isn't 73% less."
"Maybe it's 13 gallons."
"So which is is?"
He didn't know, do any of our experts? On a normal cycle, how much water do the FL HE machines uses? The 13 gallons sounds correct for a 73% reduction, now I just have to know.
