I inquired with Customer Service at MAYTAG awhile back about the design and manufacture of the Neptune TL. Was it actually a MAYTAG or a joint design with HAIER? I received an E-mail response from them stating that although Maytag(Whirlpool) is a "world Company" and contracts with other...

Josh, take a look at the video I posted on Thread #17259-Haier 11-lb capacity automatic. VERY SIMILAR

Eugene,on some of the Haier's, water actually pumps through the lint filter-on others it's just the water passing through from the inner to outer tub, and the tub rotation. I have a 12-lb capacity, Haier-made AVANTI (my FAVORITE portable) which I'll make a video of this week. On it, the water is...

After 4 years, I finally got around to disabling the lid-switch on my portable Haier XQJ50-31. It was touch'n-go for a few moments, and at one point I thought it was going to the curb, but somehow I managed to pull-it-off on my own, without my "LIDSWITCH" professional, Roger at my side. I only...

Pete-You can find 3 combo models at www.Haieramerica.com. Just enter the model #HWD1000 and 3 different models will pop up. That particular machine is an 11lb capacity machine and costs $899. It looks like a new model, previous Haier Combos had major drying issues-hopefully they've addressed...

You're welcome! it REALLY is a nice machine-just takes alittle getting used to.

And YES ROSS, you CAN use the Mexican soap in this machine!

Andrew, it really IS a quiet machine--the video recorder actually magnified the sound, so it sounded louder on the video than it really is. And John, I'm amazed myself that it usually spins so smooth, especially because the concrete floor under the machine is all broken-up and uneven. The...

Joe (Whirlpolf), The machine has a "variable speed" motor. It adjust both the water-level and the wash speed by measuring the torque placed on the motor by the weight of the clothes. It does a couple of quick "thrusts" at the start of the cycle before any water enters the tub, and then again a...

Brent, I really only use that machine for full-loads-I have smaller machines for others, but my experience with it has been that it will tangle things if there's not enough water. It DOES use considerably more water than the FISHER/PAYKEL-WHIRLPOOL models (Aquasmart/Cabrio/Oasis/Bravos), but not...

They're still available, just try again. Youtube has been acting strange today. That happened to me earlier, but they're still on! After the "intro", click onto "Other Commodorejon Videos", and they should come up. If not. let me know.

OK guys, for those of you who haven't experienced the Harmony, I made a few clips of it in action. I've heard some negative comments made about the machine, but honestly, it's a very GOOD machine. I've had it 3 years next month with NO problems, and it does a nice job washing and rinsing. Thanks...

Oh, yeah, I also think that set was used on "The Donna Reed Show" for awhile!

I actually had the exact pair about 20 years ago. I bought the set used. Augh!!! The lid-open button had a short in it, so you got a quck zap every time you pushed it, and the Timer was on a chain, which kept coming off when you set the cycle, and it was a pain to put back on-because you had to...

A 1961 model? That's the year I was born! It's in better shape than I am! GREAT MACHINE-I LOVE IT! Back in the 60's, my entire family worked for GE, so everyone had a FILTER-FLO-I always thought they were a very pretty machine. They still ARE!
