I like the look of the blue impeller, but I'd have to see a video of it washing to form an opinion on it. The conventional agitator looks like it would get the job done though. I admit that I do love the colours here. The Deep wash thing looks encouraging. :)

Mine Well, this is a good thread, so I might as well post a somewhat fuzzy picture of my Hubesch washer dryer set. I've had this set going on two years now.

What an absolutely brilliant idea.

The reversing spray arm seems like a gimmick to me and doesn't really add any value in my eyes. I'm still not big on the American style cutlery tray in GE dishwashers, I prefer a top rack myself. I think the bottle washing thing is a decent idea, but IMO if they just had special bottle...

I guess what I don't understand is why so many people are adverse to the idea of warm or hot water washing. Yes, I understand it costs more to heat the water, but most Canadians use natural gas water heaters. To keep the water hot costs me $20 a month in natural gas. Big deal. My parents...

What is the "Moisture" setting for on the washer?

I think one way they can solve this "Problem" is just to put a fan which blows air into the tub and moisture sensors. The machine should be smart enough to run the fan when the moisture gets too high. Whirlpool already is doing this to some extent with their washers. Now, in saying that, if...

I would say that one thing that we have to face as consumers is globalization. In other words, imagine back in 1956, a company like Maytag has to source all of their components from US owned businesses using the only method available to them, Telephone and postal mail. All of the labour to...

Here are my speculations.... - Introduction of electric motor operation as opposed to manual operation - Electric motor driven Pump technology. (As opposed to gravity drain) - Agitator technology. (Going from cups which move up and down to agitators) - Agitator design. (Ramped vs vaned...

Well, it's just that we're not buying quality anymore.. The article is a little misleading in that they're comparing cheapest then to cheapest today. Consider that in 1956, a Maytag Supermatic washer cost $275.95. (Cited from http://nlj.stparchive.com/Archive/NLJ/NLJ04121956p14.jpg ) Adjusted...

Wow, after reading the manual, I can't believe how close I was.. Recommended pad height between 4" to 6" inches, recommended bolt size is 0.63" if I read that properly. Man, even my own Huebsch machine shakes the concrete floor on certain loads. I shudder to think what an unbalanced hard...

I wish more front loaders had recirculating wash action like this Frigidaire. I think it would greatly add to the cleaning power of the machine and would kind of remind me a little bit of Filter-Flo action. The trick to good washing in a front loader is a relatively low water level. Highly...

Pierre, Please don't post to a thread unless you have something relevant to add to it. The OP is asking about what he needs to do to a replacement Neptune he's purchasing. He is NOT asking about buying a new machine. He's already purchased a machine or he will be purchasing another Neptune...

The hardmounted White-Westinghouse 8 kg machines at the local laundromat near where I grew up were on a solid block of concrete about six inches thick and were bolted down with 1 inch bolts. With a big machine like that, who knows. Best to call Alliance and ask.

You know, I find that I really have to contribute towards this thread now. The biggest problem with consumer grade machines is just what combo52 said. They just simply are designed with lots of compromises in place to keep costs down. Those compromises are numerous, including compromises which...

My 2004 vintage GE top loader used 91 litres per fill, meaning that a full cycle usually was around 182 litres, not including the spray rinse. That works out to about roughly 48 US Gallons per load. My Huebsch front loader uses almost half as much water per cycle.

Well, there is always the public perception by the lesser known consumer that they used to see their parents machine washing with lots of water and they'd always get positive results. The same logic was behind suds doing cleaning. So when, something is using a different method to clean...

Pierre, why are you replying to a thread which is 2 years old? Before you post anything, always ask yourself, "Do I have any new or relevant information to add to this thread?". If not, don't post. That applies to any thread. That's only courteous to everyone here. Now, if you were a paying...

Richard, A top loading washer would provide less vibration and won't shake your flooring as much. Other FL washers have a setting to allow for wooden floors by lowering the spin speed or doing more redistribution cycles to provide for less vibration. I'd say that a SQ Top loading machine...

Huebsch is very competitive to GE and Kenmore/Whirlpool. A ZWN432 washer is TOL for Canada. I think these sell for around $800-ish. The dryer is about the same. There are a large variety of dryers you can choose from. Gas or Electric? The ZDE4BR (Electric) or the ZDG4BR (Gas) is the matching...
