Questions for Frigilux Eugene, Congratulations on your new Frigidaires! You have mentioned about the recirculation jet coming on during the cycle. Is this something that is especially noisy or loud? Also, how quiet are the washer and dryer while they are running?

Point of Clarification Jerrod, While it is true that many washers currently on the market only provide two or three rinses, this has not always been the case for machines in the past. Many members here own and use such machines. It was quite common for older machines to have multiple rinses...

LG Turbodrum Louis, Nice machine! What was the spin speed on the cycle that you used for the load of towels?

Jackson, You and your wife are in my thoughts and prayers.

AMC Tom, Thanks for reminding us about this. I remember that there were some mom-and-pop appliance stores in the LA area, as well as a few larger department stores (mainly local operations that were smaller than Sears, Montgomery Wards, or J.C. Penny), that carried AMC appliances. No one we...
