Does anyone know the button combination to display the current water temperature as the machine is running? I have the opportunity to use this machine this week. I will be doing a few loads. I will review it and see how it performs by the end of the week. Thanks!

    Ok great! I already had to use the delicate cycle. I didn't have time to try it out then. That cycle ran well and an extra rinse only added a minute. Which I presume was the addition of spray rinses. The clothes were quite wet at the end with medium spin speed. The "warm" water is what I would consider a good cold temperature. However, it cleaned well and stuck to the estimated time.

    It depends on the cycle whether you have a deep rinse or just the spray for the extra rinse. Any time you engage the turbo, the rinse is scanty IMHO. Remember, you must press the steam option if you want the "extra hot" water temperatures. This option is not available now all cycles.

    Just did a load with about 8 towels using the Jumbo Wash cycle. The machine used lots of water and great tumbles, however it didn't have quick interim spins or long final spin. The water temp at HOT was 40*C. Very poor. The rinsing wasn't all that great since the interim spins were slow

    Hitting the spin speed and the delay wash buttons shows rpm of the drum. What does the soil level and delay was buttons show? I couldn't find any info online.

    I don't spin towels out until the very end. I wash on hot or eXtra hot (steam). With steam I get up to 53C. After the last rinse turn the machine on and select the spin speed you want. I suggest no more than medium to prevent unbalance issues and extra wear on the towels. I forgot to mention the spin speed is set on no spin during the wash/rinse cycles. When that is finished you have a soggy pile in the bottom of the drum. Fear not. Next turn the power button on and select the spin speed do Not select any cycle with the dial. Now push the right hand start button. The machine will begin spin cycle (no rinse) at the speed you selected on the normal/casual cycle. This trick is a true gem. I do king sized chenille bedspread with no problem.

    Interesting. I will only be here for a week. Next load of towels I will try Allergene to try to remove some old makeup stains using some oxi clean. We will see.

    Ran a load of some clothes using the Normal cycle with Hot water normal soil and an extra rinse. I'm impressed. The water was 42 degrees Celsius, which is low, but not horrible. I figured that. But the cycle was quick, ~40 minutes and did two DEEP rinses with the multiple spray rinses. This house has soft water and there were no suds. Not a stain left in sight using Tide HE Turbo liquid.

    Ran a load of towels on the Allergene cycle. It estimated 1:35 and stuck to it. It started with 40 degree water and ended at 65 degree Celsius. The machine used VERY low water levels during the wash. It did add a bit of water towards the end followed by the bleach flush. There was a long spray rinse and one deep rinse. It changed the tumble profiles at given temperatures. I am disappointed in the rinsing and water level during the wash, but it otherwise was impressive.

    1) You can always add an extra rinse. 2) turn off Turbo Wash and let it do two normal rinses.
