What does IMHO mean? Seen it and a few variants such as OTHO. Never been good with acronyms.

Cheers Gary, quite obvious now I know.

You know, that is the biggest thing that I've noticed..
My GE Top loaders used 15 minutes for the "Super" cycle, 12 Minutes for the "Normal" cycle and 8 minutes for the "Light" cycle.
It could do a load of laundry in about 40 minutes, that was on the normal cycle with one rinse and two spins.
My Huebsch front loader can complete a cycle in the same amount of time, but it spends 20 minutes washing and much less time rinsing and spinning.
My friends LG takes an hour to wash clothing on the normal cycle. I once brought in a comforter, washed it on the Sanitize cycle, it took 2.5 hours!

Simon, I think you meant OTOH, or On The Other Hand.
Another seen often on discussion boards is IIRC, or If I Recall/Remember Correctly.
A little less frequently, YMMV, or Your Mileage May Vary.
There's probably a glossary out there on line somewhere.

Thanks rp2813. I think there are way too many acronyms used these days. Sometimes when I go to a meeting at work and all these acronyms are used I often have no idea what they are talking about. I get quite a lot of pleasure stopping them and asking what an acronym means. Another very common one is lol is that lots of laughs or lots of love?Simon
Good thing you've never worked for The Phone Company. Everything they do has an acronym.

Simon-Laugh Out Loud.
So it's been a month 1/2 with my new washer & dryer! There is nothing to dislike. I can wash everything in it, I have not had it go out of balance. Previous washer wouldn't spin certain loads: bathroom rug, fleece throws from living room...just stopped and I had to deal with a soping wet throw! It is getting out stains beautifully. The mini cycle is fantastic----as it's summer and I have kids we are having lots of wet swim suits which should really be washed on cold, gentle so I throw our suits in there together in a mini cycle and then hang them. Also great because we usually have 2-3 "gentle cycle" type shirts when I go to wash and I just do them on mini. No smell. Dryer is great. I am SO SO glad I went into our local repair store who also sells appliance-when I walked in I said I want something with all the bells and whistles that will last a LONG time...he says well if you want something that will last, you want a Speed Queen set. Had I not gone in there I would have purchased (most likely) the LG front loader that explodes as my in-laws had just purchased that set and love them. THANKS for all the threads on here to convince me as well! MY MOM is so jealous of my "old school" washer and dryer. She has a Kenmore top loading HE and dryer from a Black Friday that she despises. Have no doubt I will still be washing clothes with this washer when my children graduate from highschool (15 years!)

I bought two of these Speed Queen sets.....
one for me, and another for my mother. You will love them. They are sturdy, use sufficent water (adjustment needed) do their jobs quickly and efficently.
I don't care what anyone says, I can attest to the fact that these machines in both top and front load versions are THE BEST MACHINES ON THE MARKET TODAY.
1. You won't regret your purchase
2. Switch to NON-HE detergent (both liquid and powder work great)
3. The Fabric Care Switch is actually a SPEED Switch which gives the washer great flexability. For example if you use the Regular Cycle (Heavy Soil) on the timer, and you want to wash/spin on slow speed to get a longer wash time, you can by selecting Delicate fabric on the selecting knob.
4. The are built like tanks, and have a terrifc warranty.
Good luck,
Mike
