Tangling
What did we test for?
To evaluate the degree of clothes tangling caused by the action of the Regular/Normal
cycle.
Why?
Less tangling and twisting of items means improved clothes care. This generally means
that items require less ironing and are less susceptible to distortion of shape.
How did we test for tangling?
We rinsed and spun long sleeved business shirts in an EcoSmart washer. The shirts were
loaded in a standard configuration into each dryer on its normal cycle. The percentage of
tangling was calculated at the end of the cycle
.
What we found:
It was clear that the reverse action tumbling of the AeroSmart dryer resulted in less
tangling and wrinkling of the shirts. The GE Harmony had the worst result with the most
tangling
