This Energy Star–qualified appliance is available at Sears stores nationwide. Sears claims the steam washer will provide "optimal removal of organic stains" (food and blood) and "temperature-sensitive stains" (oil), and is designed for "heavily soiled loads that need improved stain treatment, loads with multiple types of stains, or loads you suspect as having stains, but are afraid may have been missed." As the wash cycle progresses, the water is slowly heated and steam is introduced into the tub. When you push the button to select the Steam Treat option, available for five of the machine's wash cycles, the water temperature is automatically set to warm.
This front-loading washer, model 4778, is an updated version of the HE5t model we've previously tested, but it adds Steam Treat, which is supposed to enhance cleaning performance. Date of Consumer Reports full report: February 2008
