The loads in the videos, seem to be very small. The denim load looks like two pairs of jeans. They never show a real full load.
I think a Twin-Tub with the impeller on the back wall of the tub moved more water than those HE Top Loaders.
Cool videos nonetheless.

that's the thing with machines and capacity.....especially for these HE machines....
even though they are meeting government standards for an X amount of water savings.....and despite how big any given machine is....the only requirement is that it can wash an AHAM standard 8lb load.....
when I questioned Frigidaire for the minimum amount of water in my FLer....despite its available capacity, only enough water was used to wash 4 large bath towels, equal to 8 lbs......that fit their criteria....even though this mentality didn't make sense
makes you think of those machines with larger tubs, up to 5 cu ft capacities....

It seems this is just another one of the washplate style machines used in other countries that essentially just stirs the water in each direction, rather than moving the clothes in a uniform fashion the way US Whirlpool machines like mine do, and like the one in the video linked below. Whirlpool and Fisher&Paykel have pretty much taken the crown in the US by designing an effective impeller design that actually rolls the load in reverse while keeping balance and distribution, and are also gentle on the fabrics. Other washplate style top loaders such as Samsung and LG, and machines such as this "360 Bloomwash" design, seem to just yank the clothes around into a ball. The Haier machine we used in the apartment in Australia was like that. Basically it just violently spun the impeller one way, then reversed, and the clothes and water just twisted and tangled, and the machine wasn't really effective at cleaning even with the excessive amount of water it used. The key is that the rounded humps on the Cabrio style impeller are scooped in each direction so that each stroke pushes the clothing from the outside towards the middle but the strokes are kept relatively short so the load doesn't start to ball up and tangle on itself.
Apparently the "Start At" feature on YouTube doesn't translate to an embedded link, so start at 3:54 to see where the really good blooming begins.

thanks Louis......I was thinking the same thing when they said that.....
this goes back to when Maytag introduced the Neptune, claiming that they were the company that invented the agitator, and was now removing it.....
they may have bought the patents to the agitator design, but they were not the ones who actually created it.....
Whirlpool is probably trying to claim the same thing, as they have now acquired Maytag's name, now trying to re-write history as its their claim to fame...
I don't know exact specifics, but don't think we have hit the 100 year mark just yet.....in thinking were about 10 years off...

Ah yes Martin, I remember that Maytag claim. I remember also the claim by Maytag that the invented the first dishwasher with three full racks. Not a cutlery tray like Miele, but three full racks had been done before too.
Wasn't Whirlpool's original name the 1910 Washer Company?

The videos are fun to watch, but...
This thing seems kind of silly to me. I can easily envision turning it on and seeing an error code displayed on a dead machine. It's like an Osterizer with 20 speeds. I suppose in some areas it may be important to have a Sari Cycle but it seems weird to non-global me. Here in Palm Springs it may be a good idea to have a BS Cycle...Bermuda Shorts.
I'm sure the BS Cycle would do a fine job on "Hostess Pants" too...you know, the ones you wear when giving smart dinner parties.

Since these videos were posted four years ago on Whirlpool's Indian YouTube channel, it makes sense to see a Sari cycle.

so sari...
I understand...it's just that no one wears saris here, they're too heavy.

close enough Bob,
the former name of Whirlpool was the Nineteen Hundred company.
See how I did that Louis? No chiding, no badgering that a silly little error was made.

If you get your facts right as Bob usually does, you won't hear me ever again.

I think that having such small loads in this washer you need to run it for 360 days to get your laundry done

Hey Martin,
When the Neptunes first hit the market the Maytag reps would say "as long as you can get the door shut-- it will handle the load"! (They failed to mention cleaning quality with a packed drum, however, I never heard of any complaints).
