it would be at if you use sods law and an angle horizontal or vertical.
That was what the bloke told me some years ago, but it seems a lame
excuse to me. Also why are all machine c cold fill only? I'd have
thought a mixer would save poer on internal heaters.


Most modern machines use a tiny amount of water for the actual wash. So
would need a means of measuring (and wasting) the water until it ran hot.


Machines need to start with a cold wash to remove common staining that
an instant hot wash may cook in. The machine already has enough water
for the full wash when performing this initial cold wash and doesn't
need to top up with any more water.
