No, there was a government change that was mandated for water conservation.
It's pretty well known and Speed Queen even talks about it. The trick is to take it from Normal and set to Perm Press.
That's the old water level and the way it worked before the mandate.

Wasn't that addressed with their 2019 revision after all the bad press they got for the initial change?

I bought my set last year and it was all over the internet to change to Perm Press. You may be right, but I didn't read where they had fixed the issue.

It mentions it on Wikipedia and gives this as an example - https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/speed-queen-introduces-new-top-load-washer-model-with-classic-design-1028253901
100% not arguing because I'm not sure either 😂

No, let this be our thing. We hunt each other down on the internet and talk about Speed Queen wash cycles.

Hahahaha! Fuck yes.
It's hard to get tone right on the internet and wanted to make sure you knew I wasn't being a prick but was actually curious if what I remembered was even right.

If it's any consolation, my drunk ass thoroughly enjoyed this conversation.

Not quite. They met the government standard to sell in the US and added a "deep fill" option button that basically overrode it. I can't find anything to support what you said about the perm press override, this NYT article is like the many, many others I read supporting this point and not touching on yours.

We shared our results with Speed Queen, and the representatives were not surprised. McDonald even told us that the company coaches dealers to tell customers not to use the Normal Eco cycle and to use the Permanent Press or Heavy Duty cycle instead.
That's in the article you quote.

Re-reading my comment I apologize; I didn't have an agenda but that reads as an argument from a dickhead.
Plus, you were right, dammit.
