Most liquid soap manufacturers try to produce their product to be the most efficient they're able, and they type of washer usually doesn't have much to do with it.
If you really want to get better cleaning, use `20 Mule Team Borax` brand if you can still find it, or some other brand that contains borax. Borax is a natural mineral that tends to help any detergent clean better and if I remember corerctly, it helps by adding additional oxygen to the wash water.
Just a tip to help you out I also have a high efficiency washing machine and you can put 1/4 -1/2C arm and hammer baking soda in the rinse cycle of the wash which is a great alternative, Baking soda is a natural odor neutralizer being 100% pure sodium Bicarbonate. It also boosts your laundry detergent to make it work better by adjusting the pH of your water to neutralize the acid. No more stinky towels or clothes! Another thing that I have tried is using 1/4 C of distilled white vinegar in the bleach slot in the wash to effectively get rid of any odors that linger on your clothes. The acid in white distilled vinegar is too mild to harm fabrics but strong enough to dissolve the alkalies in soaps & detergents. Besides removing soap it prevents yellowing and acts as a fabric softener and static cling reducer and attacks mold and mildew. I really only use the vinegar when I have to rewash clothes that I left in the wash too long and they got that Mildew smell It works awsome for that, however in a regular wash is also seems to neutralize the soap smell too and I love my clothes to smell like laundry detergent so I pretty much only use it to get rid of undesired smells but if you want your clothes to smell like nothing the vinegar is awsome!
Any gas-powered washer will be efficient, although consider the Maytag industrial line of washers for maximum efficiency.
They started using solid concrete weights in washers to steady the machine during the spin cycle. Previously, energy-intensive iron casts weighted laundry machines. New washers also offered wash programming
"Some products that will help you save energy are high efficiency appliances, such as washers, driers, dishwashers, and rerigerators. Also, low-flow showerheads and faucets, and energy efficient light bulbs."
Yes since some have the energy efficient and water usage in them like the front washers
No.
They are not. Low E bulbs are low ENERGY, not low efficiency. They are actually highly efficient.
I would assume it means that the more efficient it is, the less energy it intakes and the more efficient the system is at retaining the energy it intakes.
Use energy efficient (EnergyStar) products to lower your home energy bill.

Nowadays, most computers you can get in the UK are energy efficient. Many manufacturers will state this on the outside of the computer. A known energy efficiency classification company is Energy Star.
Smart homeowners who want to minimize their utility bills will equip their homes with the latest energy efficient appliances. The most important feature to look for is the Energy Star label, which certifies that an appliance exceeds efficiency standards as set up by the government. There may also be an Energy Guide label, which shows the energy usage and annual savings. However, the savings are only estimates because the cost for electricity, gas, and water varies with each region. Another relatively new label that implies energy efficiency is HE, which stands for High Efficiency. For example, HE washing machines use about half the amount of water per each washing cycle when compared to traditional washers.
