Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

And who will take over for Algore in the 21st century ?

Probably the census takers because their jobs will be threatened if the scientific naysayers were to have any influence.
 
I am personally always surprised about how bad the SQ TL cleaning ability is claimed to be. I guess I'm prepared to be blown away by how good a washer is the next one I buy, but since December 2015 when I got the SQ TL, I, and all of my family using it have been really happy with the cleaning the SQ does. It's hands down better than the Kenmore Oasis it replaced, and twice as fast. Maybe the Oasis was just total crap.

I am thinking the next time I need to get a washer it'll have to be front loading as here in the Southern Tier of NY we've just had the worst drought I've ever seen - all summer was like the end of August usually was, and we have been seriously concerned about running out of water in the well for the first time in my life. Just after I got the water hog washer claiming "we don't really care about water use here"... One way to have to eat crow, that's for sure. But I'm not scrapping a brand new washer either. We just do a few less optional loads of laundry (things like using bath towels a bit more before washing, not washing throw rugs every week, not buffing the floor every week so the cotton pad isn't washed as often)...

Anyway, the SQ does such a good job cleaning, I honestly can't imagine all these better washers that clean 2x as good. I can't figure out what 2x cleaner would even be...

I've also found that there's a LOT of variability depending on the detergent, boosters (OxiClean or STPP) and temp settings that makes me wonder if that wouldn't skew tests.
 
SQ TL Cleaning Ability

I asked my wife how she liked our new SQ after she had done a few loads. She said that a stain on a t-shirt that had been through our old Whirlpool Ultimate Care II many times was gone after the first time through the SQ. That's good enough for me.
 
scientists have been

studying this for some time. Perhaps it can never be proven or disproven.
Fact of the matter is, we have droughts too long in some parts, and flooding in others. I guess we always have.
We also have nearly 8 billion of us now. All expelling warm air, a trifle example, but how many internal combustion engines exhale pollution. Fewer rain forest trees, concrete and asphalt roads which hold or reflect heat back up we did not have a century ago.
Glass skyscrapers do also. One in London melts the mirrors on cars.
There are those who still do not believe the ozone layer was even damaged by fluorocarbons, but that was proven. Then we have more skin cancer today, which began in Australia, below the ozone depletion ring.
China has also recognized the need to care for mother earth, as they showed at the last climate change summit. China is responsible for a lot of population growth.
I've seen solar generating arrays in places which once had big industry.
They are closer to large educational institutions like Carnegie Mellon, and Pitt universities.
The fact is that energy is a finite commodity, so we will use up what we have in all sources, while adding to new ones, regardless of what any politician thinks or says. They do not know everything. Scholars become experts through study.
California only has one nuclear generating plant still in operation. Do the math.
Lake Meade's water level has dropped to the point that lower intake points for the Hoover dam hydro plant had to be retrofitted.
Dire need often advances technology while profitability may not.
Holland has been pumping water away with wind for two centuries.
 
All the Speed Queens I've used over the years in rentals have been decent on cleanability. They didn't clean any bettor or worse than my parents' Maytag back home.
But the SQs kinda suck at spinning. They seem slow. My clothes were always pretty damp, which led to long dryer cycles.
And the SQ dryers always seemed to run very very hot, even on PP or Delicate cycles. :/
