Maytag Washer

Hi Mike.

I thought I was seeing things at first. I sold my aqualtis and had a gap so decided to treat myself.

Washed with it today and really impressed with the machine. Good quality machine. The machine does have stainless steel outertub.

Long Cycle Times Asko Washing Machines

Was doing some nosing around owner's manuals for older Asko units and the wash times for "Normal/Cottons" could hit >75 minutes. However there is a method to their maddness.

Again speaking of the older units Asko washers added time to wash cycles when lower wash temperatures were chosen and or for enzyme detergents. Both under the then accepted rules that lower wash temperatures required longer cycle times to compensate, and that enzymes worked well within the "low" temperature range of about 100F to 110F with increased contact time required for the best possible results.

Miele washers of the period also had something similar. My W1070's manual speaks of some system/programming that promises the same wash period regardless of temperatures chosen.

Older enzyme products did indeed require such conditions but modern products have moved on. Today's detergents/laundry aids with such things will work in cold, cool, warm and even slightly hot (120F), thus eliminating the need for long contact times, IMHO.

@Laundress:

I'm probably short for this world on this Betty Crocker wannabe site, but I have enjoyed talking to you.

I've P.O.'d some Nancys on the Super board, and they have a hard-on for me for criticizing their apple pie recipes and challenging them to a non-traditional cookoff.

BFD. Our little scrappy son made his way into the USMC Officer's Candidate School without a college degree and is learning to fly helicopters. And he soloed in an OH-58 Kiowa helicopter today. His 2nd grade teacher wanted to hold him back, too.

So if someone on the Super Board is butthurt, they can **** it.

I have had 4 sets and was real happy with them. They took at least an house but 7 rinses and an1800rpm spin Larry clothes gleamed. The dryers were all condenser type.
