Abstract

A laundry treatment method and apparatus are provided. The laundry treatment method includes (a) choosing one of a first operating course in which a set of operating conditions are determined based on the weight of laundry and a second operating course in which the operating conditions are determined based on a plurality of operating variables; and (b) treating the laundry according to whichever of the first and second operating courses is chosen.
