Other features of the IQ-Touch and Wave-Touch lines may include "Perfect Steam;" "Perfect Balance," which helps with vibration; 15-minute wash times and 14-minute dry times; specialty cycles, and energy-efficiency. The 2011 models also come in a wide range of colors, including turquoise sky, red hot red, island white and Mediterranean blue. The self-cleaning feature differs between the IQ-Touch and Wave-Touch models, but only slightly.
