Which current front-load washer fills up with the most washer?

[pumice]

My Maytag 'commercial' top load agitator washer hasn't been working for many months now. I was thinking about getting a front load washer for comforters.

Which front load washer fills up with the most water? It can be 110volt or 220 volt, as I have both.

I know Dexter and Milnor both use a lot of water but being true commercial they are out of my budget. So I am looking for home use washers.

Most dimost domestic front load washers vary the amount of water per fill based upon what cycle is selected. Bulky bedding cycles use the most water and if there's a towels cycle, probably the next largest amount of water. But generally, the fills don't vary that much between cycles.

From what I've seen online... watching different cycles wash... the LG with turbo wash uses the most water... especially in the rinses... and depending on what cycle you choose...some cycles use more... some less... with the LG's you're always going to see less in the wash itself..vs the rinses UNLESS something has changed with them... but I don't think it has.

That is very true with LG front load washers where it uses less in the wash cycle and uses plenty of water for rinsing. I know with my LG washer that is the way it is...the Normal cycle is the stingiest with water in the wash cycle where it cycles the recirculation pump for the TurboWash on and off since it will cavitate during the wash portion. But the rinse water levels are up to the drum lip meaning there is plenty on hand. The Bright Whites uses more water for the wash cycle and even more for the rinses. That cycle will use medium speed interim spins along with spray rinses between rinse portions. The Bedding cycle uses quite a bit of water and coupled with TurboWash it assures that the item is washed thoroughly and rinsed as well. It uses a Medium spin speed at 600 rpms and the load does come out noticeably wetter than other cycles.
If one uses Allergene cycle that cycle will use Extra Hot water meaning the that heater is on and uses much more water to wash and rinse the load to make sure it is free of allergens.
An LG washer like the 4000 series that I have is plenty versatile in my opinion and didn't break the bank of price like an SQ washer can with just half the features that in my opinion isn't worth the extra price. Granted the SQ machines are well built but no water heater, small drum at 3.0 cuft and no recirculation system to make full use of detergents. Just my opinion your milage may vary...

Also from what I seen, I agree with Mark that LG uses the most water which I like. I'd love to get a LG Washtower for my grandfather's cabin because the Maytag Neptune got thrown out from the flood this past winter and insurance is covering for it. But I've just yesterday suggested to my uncle to get a SQ SF7 instead when he called me because the insurance is paying for whatever and if we can get a SQ, that would be our only chance cause I'm not paying over five grand for it.

Lo and behold

We got the Speed Queen SF7.
