Some people wonder why this has changed suddenly after decades of using hi speed first spins. If it wasn’t for the low speed spin, people wouldn’t complain about the spray rinse being too early. With a hi speed first spin, the tub would clear before the spray rinse comes or just about. But the heavier the load the longer it takes for them to reach the highest speed of the first spin cycle which is why it would make more sense to use a HI speed, plus as mentioned above it doesn’t do the best of water extraction leaving more detergent over for the rinse cycle. And another thing, it’s a LONG spin cycle, at least five minutes. Longest spin cycle I’ve ever encountered for a first spin on a old fashioned top loader but that’s just me. Had it been programmed to HI you could knock that five minutes in half, like the older Speed Queens from the 90s and 2000s unless I’m mistaken and they were five minutes as well.
