    If interested in white goods specs you need to look behind the ABC and look at the delegated regulations that define what goes on the label.

    Spin efficiency measures the amount of residual moisture.

    Important for the next step drying.

    The other issue is the energy rating is based on a specific set of loads that many people don't use for a lot of their regular washes.


    I saw the % residual water remaining on the spec today. Most were 53% but good ones were 44% I think, I didn't see anything lower than that
    That's were the table comes in handy to know what the Alpha ranges are
    44% just scrapes A and 53% just scrapes a B, so a C rated could be very close
