High efficiency, using too little water? HE washing machine  something I use not enough water, here’s some real reviews that everything need to know by real owners with not enough water to clean the clothes problems.
Some manufacturers are saying Bidens new rule would make Americans dirtier, stinkier: manufacturer say.
/Department of Energy last month have sparked concern from some manufacturers and trade associations that fear the new machines could be less effective and more costly for U.S. consumers.
The Department of Energy said the new efficiency standards, which seek to reduce emissions from both washing machines, will save consumers an estimated $3.5 billion annually on energy and water bills. U.S. households will save an estimated $425 in utility bills over the lifespan of the appliances, DOE said.
But I found that they’re assuming these machines will last for 14 years with no maintenance calls, and no replacement cost. I’m not sure where they’re getting their information from but these machines are not lasting that long, especially without expensive appliance repair man maintaining and repairing them.
The Department of Energy said the new efficiency standards, which seek to reduce emissions from both washing machines and refrigerators, will save consumers an estimated $3.5 billion annually on energy and water bills. U.S. households will save an estimated $425 in utility bills over the lifespan of the appliances, DOE said.
But they are not taking into account that these machines aren’t able to do regular size loads and if you’re washing three loads instead of one, you will not save any water or power. 
New DOE efficiency rules could make washing machines more costly and less effective, manufacturers warn.
This is because the technologies to go into the efficiency machines are more expensive and the parts that are in the more expensive when they break. The idea that they will save money in the long run they not be true at all. In fact, I would guess it will be the exact opposite 
Households using new refrigerators and clothes washers will save an estimated $425 on their utility bill over the average life of the appliance with these standards in place is what they are saying, but the reality is, there’s more to the equation than just utility bills. If the appliances cost twice as much and last 1/5 the time you will get more water used and more plastics in the landfills. I know that a lot of people think that appliances are a perfect recycled machine, but they have a lot of plastics and you have to separate them from the metals, this leads to plastics being recycled which recently we have all learned is not as green as we thought. 
Even if we could perfectly recycle him, you still have to account for the energy it takes to get the metal out the ground and produce the plastics the factories it takes to run to make the machines and the delivery and other vehicles that will have to run the roads and pollute just to produce machines that are disposable unlike the machines that were previously made that lasted over 30 years with little maintenance and inexpensive parts. 
New washing machine efficiency standards proposed by the Biden administration last month have sparked concern from some manufacturers and trade associations that fear the new machines could be less effective and more costly for U.S. consumers.
And let me tell you it’s not just the manufacturers that have doubts the Appliance Repair guys including me. Don’t think it could work. There are new technologies coming out every day, and we should find and support them, but just put in a blanket rule of figure it out less water… Good luck can’t be the answer because they are real people running these washers and dryers that need them.
The mom with a tight budget using reusable, washable, diapers or the grandmother that can’t figure out why her clothes are still dry after they go to the washer. Frankly, I’m not sure why that would work either. Not all washers have this problem, but we are moving towards the high-efficiency ones that do, and before we regulate our self into a corner, we should really think about what a good solution Could look like. A real solution not just a blanket less water rule.
