Most Maddening Washer Commerical

[pstehle]

Ya know Chet, I could do that wine glasses trick on top of my A482 and those glasses would survive with no problems.
I've had heavy loads in the machine, blankets, drapes, etc, and felt the spot where those glasses are - barely, if any, vibration during spin cycle.
I'm not lying, the machine handles things like a pro.

It's easy to take a pic like that if the machine is unplugged...

I agree 100%. GE outsourced their laundry starting in 1995 and it just progressed downhill from there. All GE appliances are stupid crap. Period. They are flimsy, break down, and when they do work in perfect working order, they don't do the job properly.

And it's only gotten worse! Chetlaham's anger is justified!

Every model since the filter flo is exceptionally worse during an imbalance. Model T will literally self destruct. Even they survive, the tub straps often don't causing the tub to keep hitting the cabinet every cycle there after.

Lol this one has been working great after all these years. Honestly if these were still being made today, I'd rather buy one to replace my Kenmore 90 Series instead of fixing it up.

One thing I didn't like was the suspension strap knocking when agitation started. This was back in 2004 when mine started doing that.

There is not way that washer can outperform a direct drive.

Suzy Homemaker......Barbie soiled her unmentionables.

That's a mini-size Suzy Homemaker washer. There was also a larger size (more batteries?) on which the four buttons worked for Off/Stop, Wash, Jet Wash, and Spin. Jet Wash had a recirculation function with a little port at the right rear corner that squirted water into the tub. The basket rotated for spin, fast enough that an off-balance situation could make the whole thing wobble.

Lol I couldn't tell a difference. But my Kenmore is WAY too aggressive, I agree with one user who called those machines shredmore. I definitely had things shred on mine before but never on a GE T series. That's one of the reasons why I'm thinking about retiring my machine.

lol this thread is such a circular hand massage.
I know the T series wasn’t as tank-like as FilterFlo. But the FilterFlos were probably the worst of the classic washers.
C’mon now.
Cardboard backing?
Weird giant rubber boot on the bottom of the tub? Major weak spot.
Giant outer tub and tiny inner tub, making for a huge waste of water.
Granted the mini basket and filter pad were pretty cool. But that’s it!
My one grandma had a FiilterFlo and it’s widely known they had a funky smell. Well that’s what my grandparents whole basement smelled like!

I’d take a model T washer over a FF.
In fact, I had two Model T washers in apartments. They washed fine. Held lots of laundry. And never went off balance. Never broke down. And they were many years old before I had them.

That is the crux of the matter, along with many being victims of ignorance and brainwashing.

If anybody built the toughest washer in all categories, it was Whirlpool with their design 2000 platform. No wonder why they were the ultimate precision machine unlike GE.
