I was at first skeptical because it looks so similar to the GTW680, which is an impeller machine. The parts diagram for this washer does indeed specify an agipeller. I'm surprised that Haier isn't switching everything over to their design.

I've noticed that the guy making those videos always selects a small load of laundry and a high water level. This exaggerates the wash action. I'd really like to see more realistic selections on these machines to see how they do in everyday use... most people wait to wash larger loads and don't...

A note on Frigidaire ranges... At least on the cheaper models, the oven doors slam shut. I don't know why they loaded them up with that much spring force. I also have to agree with the whole range getting hot when the oven is on, but mine doesn't seal all the way. For what it's worth, my range...

Nope, this is one of the early models. No agitation during fill - it has true water levels.

A little update... I took the agitator out of the basket and inspected it. I didn't find any sharp spots on it or the tub whatsoever. I also looked over the dryer drum once again and found nothing. I can only think of aggressive wash action but it has a wide agitation arc... I've never had this...

Its a Kenmore 110.20022013, I will look over the basket more carefully this time for any burrs.

There are none that I can find in the washer or dryer. The set is like new.

This is too bad. When I went shopping for a socket set a few years back, Sears Craftsman sets had plenty of 6 point sockets, so I got them. I've never had luck with the 12 point sockets, and the Kobalt sets are full of those. I've always preferred Craftsman hand tools.

...Okay, maybe not shredding laundry. But I have noticed that my washer is very rough on towels and creates a ton of lint. Many of my cleaning cloths come out with tears or frayed edges after a while as well. The kicker for me was after washing a nice set of sheets. I pulled them out of the...

Where are you finding Tide on special offer? The best I've ever seen on Tide is one dollar off.

I don't think you can go wrong for $399. That's about as inexpensive as it gets short of the $299 Amana/Admiral or whatever it is being badged now. As said before, you could pretty much get two GE sets for the price of one Speed Queen. Sure the Speed Queen might last longer but after reading...

I've never been a fan of Persil. It cleans OK but I don't like the scent at all. If only we had a detergent exchange here, it would save that bottle from just sitting in my laundry room!

While I do agree with you about freedom of choice, it's quite silly to shred the EPA. Saving energy has good reasons...

Do you use fabric softener? It also contributes to build up.

Maybe if restrictions ease up, more people will decide to take the efficient route if they feel it is their choice.

What was Whirlpool's reasoning for switching to the direct drive platform? A simpler design?

Shame... ...that WP corp. is stooping that low to trick consumers into thinking that their new washer has true steam cleaning. This one isn't a simple gimmick. If they wanted to, steam could be pumped through the bottom of the tub before the washer filled. It would rise through the...

Joeypete, would you mind taking a short video washing a normal load on the auto sensing water level? I'm curious so see how turnover is with everyday garments. It seems to do alright with towels in the video you posted a while back.

I got all excited about this, and then realized that this seems to be another agipeller model. I was thinking that this was a true agitator washer like what was last seen as the agitated Cabrio models, but the parts list only shows one "agitator". If anyone at Whirlpool is listening, I'd...

The fill agitation is similar to what was present on certain direct drive models, right? The only issue I see with this is that the agitation profile seems harsh for a partially wet load of clothes. I bet it'll take a toll over time... but don't these machines use variable speed motors? I would...
