Electrolux 60 Series has Max Fill option and Electrolux 70 Series has Add More Water. Both machines are 4.3 cu. ft. The more water feature adds a good amount of water to the wash cycle ONLY!!!! Sadly, the rinse levels are pathetically low...but clothes do seem rinsed, but I'd love more water during the rinses. Both 60 & 70 do offer Fresh Rinse, which adds a 3rd rinse. Great machines!!!!

Thank you! I'll look into both of those options.

I can only add what I know.

The Electrolux 60 series and 70 series allows for adding more water to the wash portion of the cycle.

On the 60 you press & hold the Pre-Wash to activate and on the 70 series (under options) you turn on "Add More Water".

It's not a LOT more water, just so you're aware.

Larsi...you beat me to it!

I wonder why it will not let you get more water for rinse? I rather have less in wash(more concentrated) and then more in the rinsing--in fact that is how my machine does it but it is older.

The Asko W8844XLW has a "High Water Level" option. I haven't seen it in operation. Wish I could find an independent description of that laundry label symbol.

That label has no "official" meaning. It usually relates to how something is supposed to be washed.

Wouldn't it be great if the dealers had every machine set up to fill and rinse so you could see the level? This would never happen I know.

Here's an Asko on a boil wash cycle with High Water Level and 7 Rinse selected. The level during the wash doesn't seem too high but the rinse starting at 6:30 uses plenty of water.

whirlpool_trainee, thanks for finding and posting this. Is that really a rinse, or is it a suds-cooling fill? My Euro washer experience is limited to 120V Miele, but I'll go out on a limb and say that's what it is. I was wondering about this, as you might remember, and I'm glad to see it cooling the near-boiling water before draining. If I'm right, then a rinse is visible only in the last minute of the video, after the spin.

The wash cycle looks generous enough, except for one concern...is the level high enough to thoroughly soak comforters? I've been told it is, and this is how you wash comforters, since Asko doesn't have a Comforters cycle like Miele.

My LG Front Loader has a "extra water" option button that will work along with any of the cycles. It's a few years old now, but check on LG and see if it's still offered.

That button is no longer offered on their front loaders. :-/

Suburban,

Dang, I think you're right: that must be the cool-down fill. Having watched his other videos, the rinse level seems to go up to the door glass and the drum meet. Larger, more absorbent loads could trigger a deeper fill. Even my not overly sophisticated Duet can vary the fill level by two inches depending on the absorbency of the load.

Alternatively, you would have to wait and wait for Miele to eventually release a (not dumbed-down) version of their new W1 series. They are really flexible, allowing the user to adjust the Water Plus feature in three steps, select Max Fill deep rinses, extra rinse and distribution speed spin-rinses with recirculation to the cycle.

I have an Asko and an LG set. There is a water plus button on the LG but it doesn't add enough extra water to know that it added anything. On mine water plus can't be used with extra rinse. Spin speeds are also limited by cycle chosen. The Asko handles most of our laundry as it can be made to do just about anything. The LG is used for Lacrosse and Football pads, comforters. Whatever you choose to buy be sure it does what you need it to. If you want your clothes floating in water during the wash cycle buy a top loader :).

I think the high end model of Frigidaire FL also has the Max Fill function that adds more water to the wash. It's been a couple of years since I looked into it, so not sure if that is still the case. LG no longer offers that option for FLs although I have an LG model with TurboWash function that can be engaged for almost any cycle and I believe that function uses more water than regular cycles.
