It's here, it's in -- and I had not realized that "Normal" really is a setting on a washing machine, all by itself. This one has a weird array of settings, including "Delicates," "Casuals," "Quick Wash," "Normal," "Whites," "Colors" and "Spin and Drain." There's another setting for water temperature, which does not include separate wash and rinse temps. But it's got two different cold settings, plus "Cool."
The installers and I had about fifty percent of a language in common. We got by. I guess I'm supposed to be all up in arms about that, but I'm not. They did a good job, didn't faff around, and cleaned up what little mess they made. The lead guy had a very strong accent, but he was patient and willing to slow way down. They took the old washer out and brought the new one in using a wide two-man lifting strap, rearranging it for the stairs and level walking. It's effective and gets through narrow spaces -- but you need a couple of men built about like Li'l Abner to make it work.

Glad it went with no issues. May this new one last at least as long as the old one.
We had to replace our 25-year-old washer when the transmission shelled out. The installers used those straps. I was so impressed I bought a strap set. My set has two body harnesses that the strap weaves through. You adjust the strap so you can balance the load while standing straight up. It's (almost) fun to use...and I'm nowhere near Li'l Abner from a physique perspective, although I do eat like Jethro Bodine on occasion.
Those straps are a neat innovation. When we bought a new refrigerator two Abners quickly removed our old one and then showed us how to get the new 33" wide box thru a not quite 33" wide doorway. Cute.
