Beautiful machine!
BTW, "steel" is a ferrous metal which, when nickel is added to it during the molten state, becomes what we know as "stainless steel". "Steal" is thievery. Someone needs to brush up on their grammar.

What the hell???

"As for spelling and grammar, I am the first to admit I am terrible at both. I go back and look at some of my old postings and think Wow, that was a dumb spelling mistake. But if I try to get it right, I go back and proofread at least once, if not more. I still make mistakes, but the point is I try to get it right. Everyone makes mistakes, and I won't be a grammar and spelling..."
I think that is a good surmise. By '98-99 they had mastered (so to speak) the conversion from Filter-Flo to the new plastic design both at Appliance Park and up in Canada, so didn't really have the capability to do a small run of higher-end stainless machines. I don't think there was a strike or anything.This was for the 1998/1999 model year, Bob, if I recall correctly. GE did put their logo onto the Raytheon designed Amana/Speed Queen machines. This was done for only a brief amount of time. I purchased a set from Home Depot for my sister and brother-in-law for a housewarming gift. Not too long after, the washer developed a problem (spin??) When my brother-in-law called the GE help line and read the model number to them they claimed they never made a machine of that model, lol. I suppose he convinced them, as the machine got repaired under warranty. The reason why GE very briefly put their name on the Amana line? -- My assumption was that GE wanted to test market a higher end stainless tub machine with the GE badge on it, as their model T line had no stainless tubs. This offered GE a chance to a quickly get a stainless tub machine out to market with no retooling or assembly line changes.
SteelI absolutely love the white porcelain on steal basket. I never liked the dark baskets, they were sad and almost creepy looking. I wish we had white filter flo baskets in the US along with stainless steal ones. I've never seen a stainless steal filter flo basket but rest assured that if everyone was like me such washer would exist.
Also love that you can select a warm rinse separately. Tully a versatile washer for all your laundry needs.
Are you going to buy this?

I always thought that those online grammar police wore very tight underwear which made them irritable and uncomforable.Beautiful machine!
