I sort/measure
I have those big plastic storage tubs that are 4.0 cu. ft. I just toss the clothes, towels, jeans etc as I am sorting. The Maytag (Duet clone) holds excatally the amount of one of these tubs and I have not experienced any problems with washing/rinsing or spinning.
I wash full loads of everything except delicates which half a load is proper for anyway. The fill is adaptive so it uses more water for larger loads, less for smaller loads.
I have no guilt in using this method, so if this is "American right to waste" so be it. What I have found with my Uber-large European (GERMAN MADE) machine is I used to wash a load of towels every night in my top loader. Now I wash about two loads of towels a week. This would appear to a wasteful American like myself that the larger machine is saving me time, energy, detergent, water, and money.
