Diameter is 40cm.Can you clarify which of the two is the diameter?

Yes. I measured again but to be clear, I am NOT counting the top plastic part. Both the diameter and height are of the actual steel drum.Your diameter is larger than the depth?
Got it. So yours is 55L. Why? You have an 8kg LG Top loaderYes. I measured again but to be clear, I am NOT counting the top plastic part.
Correct, as requested. At full water level, the water won't go higher than the start of the plastic part.Both the diameter and height are of the actual steel drum.
Then the volume of your drum is 44L. That is 25% smaller than their specs said.Diameter is 40cm.
Now you are just making me doubt my measuring tape skills. It maybe +- 1cm but yes, the diameter is bigger than height and yes it does look like that.I'm just confused why your diameter is larger than the depth. Does the drum look like that to you? Short and squat instead of taller?
You're good. That is what the drum really is like. The plastic then gives the impression of a taller but unusable space.Now you are just making me doubt my measuring tape skills .
But you will need to use percarbonate at least once every three months as described hereNot hard at all. Fully soft. Yet no harm doing the cleansing once in 6 months or so.
I am not an expert when it comes to this. Typically, the water level is between 5-7 from 10 and it cleans properly imoWhat % of the drum would you consider a full load that cleans properly? Also, what is the water level chosen if you are able to tell?
I meant dry clothes. How much can you load the machine up and be satisfied with the wash? before the water comes inI am not an expert when it comes to this. Typically, the water level is between 5-7 from 10 and it cleans properly imo
I have a test kit to measure PH and other stuff. It stays stable at 8.2 in one tank and 8.4 in the main one. I do nothing to change it.@Rockfella how do you care for your pH meter? Don't the fish you keep like to live in some goldilocks pH range?

It's already thereOur country needs more such open testing. However tests could be more scientific. Eyeballing everything isn't a way to go.
Wow. I never expected govt documents could look that decent. It's a lot of information. Will need more time though.
Lots of thingsComing to think of it, now I'm wondering what else are they testing.
They are doing a great job. I got to know about these tests in 2013 when I was looking to compare drinks like Bournvita, Horlicks, etc. https://consumeraffairs.nic.in/sites/default/files/file-uploads/ctocpas/Health_Drink.pdfWow.

Through google special search there seems to be even more tests.Lots of things
How useful is the question? Helpful yeah, anything more?Home | Department of Consumer Affairs | Ministry of Consumer Affairs Food and Public Distribution | Government of India

With the washing powders they tested, I'd have preferred they test for the presence of enzymes and which kind were present. That has a direct bearing on how well any powder can deal with stains and more importantly the kind of stains.Through google special search there seems to be even more tests.
Alkalinity is a measure of the ability of a solution to neutralize acids to the equivalence point of carbonate or bicarbonate. As per the Indian Standard, the active alkalinity of detergent powder of Grade 1, 2 and 3 should be 15 per cent, 20 per cent and 30 per cent, respectively.
Wait, what? I don't want high foam generation in a front loader. I want close to none. They say Surf excel matic generates the most foam and Ariel the least.There is no specified requirement for lather in the national standards. In any case, foam generation should be high and at a faster rate. • Both Surf Excel Matic and Ghari scored highest on this parameter. Ariel Matic had the lowest score
Whilst carrying out research, the Dyson r&d team discovered an astonishing fact--hand washing clothes for 15 minutes removed more dirt than a 67 minute cycle in the best washing machines currently available. Although washing machines have removed the drudgery of washing clothes they have vastly poorer performance than someone 300 years ago sat next to a river.
