Opinions please....how effective is the spray only rinse on the Normal/Eco cycle on a Speed Queen top load washer AWN432?

I use the Normal/Eco cycle on my SQ frequently. The spray rinse is adequate, especially for small to medium-large sized loads. I've even used it on full loads of bath towels back when I had to be parsimonious with soft water. No detergent-related skin issues developed using liquid Tide or Persil. I was mindful to use as little detergent as was needed to get the load thoroughly cleaned.
I always select a traditional deep rinse when using liquid chlorine bleach.
I suggest giving it a try. You may find it's adequate for your needs...or you may find you prefer a deep rinse. Saving gallons of water on each load may be important if you're in a drought-stricken area.
I always use the Heavy Duty or Whites cycle to fill the tub with true warm or hot water for the wash, then switch it over to Normal/Eco. My 2017 9-Series basically provides a cold wash no matter what water temp you select on Normal/Eco. It starts filling with warm water, which seems promising, but switches to cold after only a couple of inches of water have entered the tub.
Reminder: You can't use liquid fabric softener in conjunction with the Normal cycle.

I have been doing the same as you...I fill on warm or hot in the heavy duty cycle and then move to normal/eco. I rarely use fabric softener, so this is not an issue for me. There is not a shortage of water where I live, but the cost of my sewer is horribly high. I try to cut the water usage because of this. It seems to work well for me, and I also use Tide and Persil and have had no skin irritation. I just wanted other opinions and thanks for yours. Seems as though we are in total agreement.

I'd avoid
the normal eco cycle and use heavy-duty especially when using fabric softener. In my opinion, spray rinses only kill suds.
