26 GAL 💧 GTW585BSVWS GE Top Load Washer Control Review 

It's true, otherwise people just wash their clothes four times. No one's saving anything if people can't choose

It's not so much the water level it's how long it takes to do a load. Mine takes 20 minutes. I think the wash is 14 minutes and the rest is spin, rinse and fill. I guess mine fills quickly. 73

It's also the government telling appliance makers how much water a unit can use to wash clothes.

@@bobloblaw2754 there is a way around the water issue. On the whirlpool front load washing machine you can use the afresh cycle to wash your heavy soiled clothes and just use the rinse cycle to rinse them out. I haven't tried it yet because I just brought the washing machine home from the mountains and haven't hooked it up. I will comment in an update the results also the time the afresh cycle is a little longer than a wash, you could cancel that cycle and start the rinse . We can fight fire with fire. I can conserve water some where else. The new commodes save water and if we forget to flush that's more water saved. 73

heck yea!

Oh lord you’ll regret thT

What's your rationale for so little detergent in the wash? My bro Inlaw rec the same advice. Why?

Wow... Not gonna lie, I was sure you were wrong and looked into it and it's true! The owner manual specifies "Spin Selection (Duration)"..... I know Samsung is Speed... It was probably cheaper this way than to have some sensors and work on programming... it's all down to the bottom buck!

Agree, you have to set it for extra deep when on auto water level.

Zzzz! Zzzz! Zzzz! Zzzz!

If you want proper info go to Ben’s appliances and junk. This guy only promotes brands he sells. Horrible advice.

My brand new Maytag tore 10 sheets of mine. Took it back.

That happened to my Samsung WF42H5000AW/A2

Yes, since most tubs are either plastic, cast iron, or stainless steel. Vinegar won’t harm them.

What's ur issue? I've got spin speed and possible motor pulley issues on new machine...

I have this model . The liquid detergent is at the top where the rim changes color.

Press pause. Keep lid closed. You have 24 hrs before it drains!!

​@@jeffwalsh6015thanks!

These new washing machines are totally junk. You're better off buying a Speed Queen.

You are asking for trouble if you buy LG washing machine. They are not reliable.Buy GE or Speed Queen washing machine instead.

If you have an extra 1000 😑😑

Oh I thought I defeated my other text or did ebt send it 😅😅😅

We just purchased one a month ago it seems very loud in the agitator wash cycle yours ?

Onetime I had to enter diagnostics mode bc I will not spin

The door lock is as loud as a nuke

I just got mine yesterday and testing it. The sales rep said it was a good washer but the biggest complaint is the electronic board shorts out from. Moisture . Also, Something I discovered and the manual confirms. It doesn't do a rinse unless you select it. It washes , sprays the clothes while it spins😒, and thats it. It doesn't have a second rinse. The high (800 rpm ) is suppose to ring the water out , Leaving your clothes damp dry (less time in the dryer). On the bulk setting, I can put 2 queen comfortors and it turns the comfortors. The dual agitator is a true agitator. Overall, It's the better choice off all top loaders. The deep fill & soak (up to 2 hours ) allow you to use Lysol Sanitizer ( 16 minutes surface contact in the rinse cycle to sterilize)sterilized. I bought it from Lowes for the 3 year parts and labor replacement warranty . Best investment with peace of mind.

No

It's because this is the USA and we still like our top load washers.

@@patcola7335 I am in USA and use front loaders. Top loaders can smell and get rust too. In either case, you have to take care of machines. They never run on auto pilot.

I also feel top load washers are much quicker than front load... plus in North America, people are used to top loaders as this is what every has had for years and years.

If it was possible I would have both. Best kept secret is that the new American front loaders uses only a small amount of water which in many cases doesn't work in cleaning clothes. In MANY cases of large loads , the center doesn't get wet at all. Many of us Americans are used to going to the laundry mat & seeing our laundry submerged under water of a half filled front loader. Also , it spinned followed by a second rinse. In some cases, you will see the dirt and soil separated between tumbling. In today's frontloaders , none of this exists. You have to assume it's getting the job done when in truth ,it's not. I would only use a front loader for bulky items such a comfort or, blankets and anything that might tear in a top loader with an agitator. I would never get a top loader without an agitator. The clothes on top often won't get rotated to the bottom where the cleaning takes place. . Also, with the modern POS front loaders, unless your water heater is next to the machine, you won't get hot water into the machine because of small amount used to fill is the water in your pipes between the water heater and the machine. Foe this and many other reasons , many laundry detergent manufacturers have re-engineered their detergent to work in cold water. Nonetheless, I have this GE 485 model. The biggest takeaway with this machine is the temp control and waterfowl. My water heater is set for 180 degrees . In the soak cycle , I can kill larvae, lift deeply soiled items & sanitize, without much detergent. The computer temp is set much cooler because unfortunately, Noone wants lawsuit. In short , your jacuzzi is hotter than the "hot" setting ,& " warm" is really cold. Lastly, the machine restricts the water significantly adding unnecessary time to the cycle. My previous washer allowed the full pressure from the house which gave me back my time for other things like getting to work ontime. Sorry , didn't mean to type so much.

I live in apt.building. Water heater not a problem. It is possible, depending on the cycle, to use more water than normal cycle. I haven't really had issues with my front loader not getting clothes clean and I only use 1 top (15 ml) of detergent per load. It's really important not to overload machine. Top loaders are quicker than front load, but they do use a lot of water. Their relatively slow spin cycles also put more pressure on dryer to use a lot more energy to dry clothes. It's true that my front loader takes longer to complete the load than a top loader. It's also true that my hear pump dryer takes a bit longer than a traditional vented electric or gas dryer to dry. It is also more energy efficient than either of them. With a strategic is of delayed cycles, I can still have freshly dried clean clothes at my convenience. Many parts of the country are beginning to exhaust their ground water. For better or worse, we need to be more judicious on how we use what we have left. There's a reason water bills have been skyrocketing lately.

I understand people don't like the computers, but cars have had them nearly 20 years and generally don't have any issues. It's not a show stopper for me, but we've been setting money aside for a couple of years knowing that our Samsung isn't longed for this world after 20 years. Next stop is a Speed Queen, which should see us out.

Do you like it?

So your logic is to add more substance, to better rinse out other substances?

Sure, if you put high value on smelling musty.

No it isn't at all. Large volumes of water supply provides highly effective cleaning that applies to various cleaning scenarios, some you may not be familiar with. The ratio may be needed In contaminant separation. Some contaminants float to the top, others to the bottom. The difference submerged laundry and the damp technology crap on todays market, is that nothing floats or sinks, just transferred and spread thinned to other clothes that has no issues. That's the difference.

What’s better?

Why?

Just use the Quick Wash cycle to rinse. I learned that from my old machine.

It does . I have this model. You have to take time and read the manual. Each cycle does something a little different from the next. One cycle (I don't remember which) just wash & spins ,no rinse cycle. It took a minute to figure out which cycle allows the "hot" water setting. I just replied to another comment (kinda lengthy) but it explained alot for those who live overseas in FrontLoader land. So, just take some time ,grab pen read the manual and mark it up with quicknotes for what you're trying to do when washing. Stick it somewhere on the wall or store it on the shelf ,anywhere you can get to it.

@@attlevi thanks I eventually figured it out, you have it select deep rinse for everything. I miss the old machines that were simple to use lol
