Up & Down

The tub capacity is the biggest for stacked combo of all of the brands I've looked at. Except for one setting, the water fills only 1/2 or less. GE says you can wash a full load without water covering the clothes. But it's not correct. The maximum the water fills on "auto-detect" is half-way in the tub, whether your tub is half-full of laundry or filled to the top with laundry. The clothes at the top don't get pulled-down because there's not enough water for them to circulate downward - the clothes on the bottom don't have any space to circulate upward.. The clothes are stuck. Just like rush-hour traffic - too many cars, not enough road space means you aren't going anywhere. The clothes on top will sometimes be wet, but that's just because water has soaked into them from the wet clothes below. This is a major flaw. The objective is to reduce water/energy consumption, but the outcome is the opposite. It increases consumption - you can't wash as much laundry as you could if the water filled up all the way. You end up doing more washings to clean the same amount of clothes. Frustrating, wasteful, and inefficient. And they don't tell you this. Why would they? It's not a feature worth bragging about. You find this out when you get the machine home and start using it. I had 8 service calls because my washer wouldn't fill up with enough water to do a load of laundry. I thought there was something wrong with my machine. They all verbally confirmed it wasn't getting the laundry on top pulled into circulation. Then, they write up, "machine working normal, no problems"!! They weren't honest enough to state that there's a flaw in the water level design scheme.
Lack of truthful advertising. Poor water-filling capacity increases cost. Have do to twice as many washings because it only works effectively with half-filled tubs of laundry. The "auto-sense" filling scheme only works when laundry is half-full or less. You can't do a full-load of laundry!!! That is not energy-efficient. It is just the opposite.
