worth upgrading to "little giants" from w1966/t1576?

Can the source be say, natural gas hot water?

Of course, but you won't have any kind of saving and are actually using more energy in a considerable number of situations like I previously explained.

I was asking the question from the standpoint of wheather or not it was allowed to feed a washer with other than "green" hot water in Germany - I didn't know what the laws are there, because I've heard that "green" and "eco" things are very important to Germans/Germany these days.

I realize that coslty energy would be consumed if you didn't use solar heat for the washer - regardless of it's form. However, in the interest of expediency, hot water input to the washer would decrease cycle time.

Here's a YT video I found of a Little Giant. Doesn't say what the power rating on it is, though. Normal cycles are just under 50 minutes and high-temp washes (75C and more) are just over one hour.

Thanks, that was good video. It really went through the cycle times. I'm starting to see that the little giant machines are the ones I'll be seriously considering at for replacing mine.
