I've heard a lot that the new "high efficiency" washers are a bit of a joke; while they may use less resources, they also are far less effective at cleaning, which just causes users to run the cycle multiple times.

It somewhat reminds me of the old saying about optimisation in software: "The most efficient way to do something is to not do it at all."

Not exactly something to follow when it comes to cleaning, however...
