Hey you do laundry too,lol. Ever since my better half shattered her leg,i've learned to do the laundry as getting up and down the basement stairs isn't fun for my wife.I've noticed the same thing with the washer we had to buy a year ago to,it doesn't wash anywhere near as good as her 25 year old one did,so i've taken to double washing all the loads,first load i use soap/second load just water,otherwise it doesn't seem to rinse all the soap out.They can stick their high efficiency washer/dryers up where the sun don't shine,as i don't think having to double rinse everything is very efficient
