Q: QuestionI'm trying to decide between a 4.3 cu.ft. clothes washer and the 5.0 cu.ft. That's a difference of 0.7 cu.ft. Can someone tell me what 0.7 cu.ft. equates to in an understandable way?

Asked 6 years ago by hunternicholas.

• A:Answer Even though it is not a huge difference it will still be better to get a larger one if the price difference is not substantial. It really will make a difference if & when you are washing a pillow, a big blanket or a comforter. As they say, bigger the better, right?

Q: QuestionHow do you adjust the cycle time? My old Whirlpool washer took half the time? Why so long & how do I adjust?

Asked 5 years ago by Mo.

This question was asked about the related product: Whirlpool - 5.0 Cu. Ft. High Efficiency Stackable Front Load Washer with Steam and Load & Go XL Dispenser - Chrome Shadow

• A:Answer Mo, it is normal for the Washer to take longer than your previous one. The U.S. Department of Energy requires all new washers to use less energy than the washer you replaced. Today's washers not only maximize cleaning performance by using less water, but they mix in cold water to save energy. Additionally, your high-efficiency machine uses sensors to set the optimal wash temperature, cycle time, and agitation speed for your size and soil level of your load. Ever-evolving technology means that your new machine is using much less electricity over a span of time than older machines did. Hopefully, this information is beneficial to you.
