My family purchased an HE washing machine a few years ago. Unlike “normal” washers, you don’t tell the machine how much water to use; it just knows somehow. I was wondering since it somehow knows the amount of water to use no matter how much clothing you put it in, is this considered a green technology? Are we really using less water overall or is the machine “thinking” for us? FYI: It cleans well but it’s not easy finding detergent for it.
