I think the only real difference is that the spinning is way faster. I have found that due to the faster spinning, my clothes don't take as long to dry- maybe even half the time they used to take!

Dear Valued Consumer:
High efficiency washers similar to the WTW4950XW you are interested in, conserve water usage. Government regulations specify that these types of washers only use a specific amount of water.

Question
Why does this leave residue on my clothes? (You can see it on black items)
I just bought this washer and am upset because you can not mix the detergent with the water BEFORE putting in clothes. Therefore, whatever you place on top of the detergent leaves residue on the clothes. You can NOT see it on the lighter colored clothes, of course, but , you see it on blacks. I have had to rinse both loads of the black that I just washed.

There are only 2 reasons I can think of, that might cause this to happen.
You must be using High Efficiency (HE) labeled laundry soap. I do recommend liquid over powder. More soap does not make cleaner clothes. It is better to use less than you need, than more than you need.
This washer is very particular regarding soap as it only uses just enough water for the size of the load of laundry. I would also make sure to spread the laundry soap around the entire drum as you pour it in, not just in a pile.

Yes it does wash comforters. But make sure you push it down in the tub, my washer didnt get all the water out becasue there was more then one in it and when I turned it on to just drain and spin my comforter wasnt all the way down in the tub and it melted the corner of one.

Dear Customer:
Because new washers use sensors to determine the soil level of your clothes, load size, etc.; each cycle could use a different amount of water. Unfortunately, there is no way to manually select the washer's water level.
Hopefully this information is beneficial to you. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Whirlpool appliances!
