The objective of the search was to identify prior arts both patents and non-patent literature that top-load washer uses the flexibility of both manual and automatic detergent dosing, providing users with adaptable washing options. It incorporates advanced features such as algorithms, sensors, actuators, and/or mechanical components to control the automatic dispensing process. The auto-dispensing mechanism is not limited to a traditional pump system but can utilize various technologies, including positive displacement pumps or principles like the Bernoulli effect. Additionally, the washer features a removable detergent reservoir that allows for easy cleaning without impacting the function of the powder detergent dispenser. The search focused on identifying prior arts that disclose the following features:

Feature 1: A top-load washer that comprises the flexibility of using both manual and auto dosing.

Feature 1a: The washer uses an algorithm, sensor, actuator and/or mechanical/ hardware components.

Feature 1b: The auto mechanism to dispense the detergent is not limited to the pump only, it can utilize various technologies, including positive displacement pumps or principles like the Bernoulli effect.

Feature 2: Removable reservoir for easy cleaning without effect on powder detergent dispenser.
