are regurgitating someone else's opinion as fact. Cold fill washing

research. If I am prepared to pay for the product it should be readily
available, not all us want to use washboards!


The only time we've used a US washing machine it's performance was very
unimpressive.


Date?

Was staying with relatives in Canada in 2011.

I was unimpressed with the washing performance of their washing
machine, compared to ours. Which was a top loading US style machine,
presumably the same sort of thing. Don't know the age of the machine
though.

Back to the UK, why would a cold fill only machine only work well with
bio powders? I use both bio and non bio powders in ours and they both
work well.- They take cold water and heat it up, as opposed to using
some hot water as well and then heating that up.. True they heat the
water at a speed that enables the enzymes to work first (if it is a
hot wash program). But hot and cold fill machines will do the same
thing, it's just that they will use some hot water to raise the wash
water temp.

I would imagine that even H&C fill machines don't use hot water on the
cooler wash programs. Probably only using hot water to fill on the 60+
programs. But they will still start off cool and then heat up, mostly
using the hot fill water to raise the water temp higher later on in
the wash I expect.


Been using US LG front loading washing machine dual fill and
separate tumble dryer since 2011. These have done 3K washes at various
temperatures and perform far, far better than any machine she has come
across in the UK. I considered revamping the kitchen to fit a couple of
these 700mm wide (?) machines in but couldn't justify the work. I
estimate the last UK machine did 2K washes max before breaking. The hot
water usage on dual fill machines can take place at any temperature
above say 5C , depends entirely on how good the design is. IMO no cold
fill machine can ever work well. The laws of diffusion say so.
