    I don't either. But I second the Lawn Boys.

    Ugh! My washer ate my wife's sweater.

    I've noticed that some of these newer VMW machines pulse every so often while they fill. That's how their automatic water level works. Is there any chance yours does this on the delicate cycle? It's an okay system. I personally think the sensing is way too frequent which wears out clothes...

    I was at Lowe's today-disappointing washers!

    It seems like every few posts is a repeat of this one with somebody or another complaining about modern quality, or lack thereof. I'd like to remind those complainers of the thread on here just a little while ago about the Speed Queen front loader that keeps causing problems, with SQ refusing to...

    Ugh! My washer ate my wife's sweater.

    I've noticed that some items that go in the wash come out with tiny pinholes that only get bigger after I wear and wash again.... Not sure if it's the wash action or just zippers snagging my clothing. The same happened to a pillow case at the seam. My washer is an older kenmore version, still on...

    Whirlpool WSSR Resource Saver Washer

    I must say that is really cool. I never knew Whirlpool made anything like that. Do you find everything sufficiently rinsed at the end of a cycle?

    "Yes, Your Washing Machine last Using Enough Water"

    Speaking of the final spin, it's about 20 minutes long! Does this really net any benefit over a standard spin?

    P&G bug got me again...

    I've been looking for a detergent that has a little more in the cleaning department than my usual Arm and Hammer. I just finished a bottle of the Fresh Scent, which is one of my favorites. So, I came home yesterday with a bottle of Tide Clean Breeze. Big mistake... While it cleans well, the...

    Love 'em, hate 'em but never say Apple doesn't take responsibility for their screw-ups

    I've never had good luck with Apple batteries. My iPhone 5 needed the battery replaced twice and now my iPhone 6 is not holding much of a charge just shy of two years old. My MacBook Pro just had the battery replaced last year and is already acting up again. That being said, Apple puts out a...

    Tub sizes

    I understand that whirlpools tend to have deep narrow tubs in comparison to maytag's wider shallow tubs. How do the depth and diameter compare between a whirlpool direct drive and a maytag tub (dependable care for example)?

    cleaning the lint filter on my Maytag

    A brush might work, but its been years since I've had to clean one of those so I can't tell for sure.

    New Kenmore 13222 with PowerWave

    There's a lot of reluctance to change on this forum. No matter how nostalgic the old stuff is, the new stuff just works more efficiently and effectively.

    Whatever happened to washing machine lint filters?

    Those higher end WP and GE top loaders with the recirculation spray could easily have lint filters added, but imagine all the complaints from customers having to take the extra step. A more practical approach could be used by the likes of LG with their Waveforce system. If their washers are...

    What does a 'Shredmore' look like?

    Oddly enough I've never had much of an issue with a direct drive machine, but we had quite a few items shredded by our early 80s whirlpool belt drive years ago.

    Does anyone else hate the "normal" cycle on new washers?

    I have noticed that the normal cycle on my VMW dumbs down the hot setting, where heavy duty uses constant hot water. I'm fine with that - the only time I need the super hot water is on towels or whites when I also want the deep rinse. There's no need to shrink my colors.

    Does anyone else hate the "normal" cycle on new washers?

    My take on the normal cycle. I'm using an early model kenmore vmw. If I have a small load of cottons to wash then the normal cycle works just fine. I don't like to run a long wash time on small loads to avoid wearing them out so fast. They get plenty of rollover in the short wash time (I think...

    OfferUp.com- a new Craigslist like website

    At first glance, they actually have some decent stuff. Most of the items I find on Craigslist are overpriced trash. It didn't use to be that way.

    need info on GE GDT650SSFSS dishwasher

    Too sad. I hate to speak too soon because I don't know what Haier has planned for GE, but I think it's disappointing that GE sold out. The US only has Whirlpool left now.

    Need to Decide on a washer

    Detergents... I have to argue that detergents may not be an issue. I've used what many consider "bottom of the barrel" brands for years, in both front and top loaders, and have never had an issue with mildew. That being said, I do run the occasional hot wash...

    GE and Westinghouse

    Did GE and Westinghouse share the same timers at one time? I noticed that the knobs look remarkably similar. http://m.ebay.com/itm/WASHER-KNOB-SET-TIMER-2-SELECTOR-FRIGIDAIRE-ELECTROLUX-WESTINGHOUSE-HOTPOINT-/302164830344?nav=SEARCH
