I heard the Whirlpool LEAP design was around for long, with the Speed Queen Classic around for even longer still standing.

How big were their transmissions compared to the orbital designs?

What about the Amanatags? I heard those were a disaster.

Seems the acquisition of Maytag by Whirlpool wasn't as messy as what GM did to Frigidaire.

That may explain Whirlpool's aggressive agitation removing tough, ground in dirt better than GE did. In theory.

Thank you so much! How were the corners like on the GM models? The ones I remember had sharp corners on the WCI and Electrolux models.

Do the Frigidaire 18 inch dishwashers have wash arms that alternate or run simultaneously?

so what was by far their biggest issue before Whirlpool swallowed them? I could've sworn Whirlpool was the world's largest to begin with.

I wish I could've seen the GM built Frigidaire units back then. I wondered what they'd look like in person.

Wow! I guess Whirlpool saved Maytag then...

Tell me about it. I thought Frigidaire was the 3rd largest appliance manufacturer behind GE and Whirlpool.

I agree 100%. I believe alternating wash arms is a European trait too, which I believe Frigidaire was the first to do in their dishwashers.

What about their dishwashers that alternate wash arms? Wasn't this also during the Electrolux time period? I heard it was done to adapt European features into the American market through research.

Did the arms alternate, or did they run all at once?

I heard that the 1990s were a time for HE washers that Frigidaire started. Then they went to the dishwasher with alternating wash action.
