Looks like Whirlpool has brought back their "traditional" VMW with a true dual action agitator. It even has an option to fill it up to the highest setting, whatever that may be. Looks like it's a recent release. WTW4616FW. Maybe they've finally realized that some consumers want something other...

My post was supposed to say that they wash better than the WP machines. That's the general consensus from sites like Reviewed.com and CR.

These honestly don't look like too bad of machines especially for the price point. Plus they was better than the Whirlpools from what I've read.

Whirlpool vs GE... Yes, that article does have a video showing a loud GE and a quiet Whirlpool, but it's not really an apples to apples comparison. The Whirlpool is a higher end model, whereas the GE is a low end machine. This gives the consumer a bad impression. The lower end whirlpools are...

Turnover Turnover is slow, but if you watch all the way through it's very thorough. The cycle is extra long to compensate. If you watch that full cycle video, the wash agitation starts around 8 minutes and continues till about 30. A 22 minute wash cycle with this slower rollover is plenty. This...

These washers do indeed have a planetary gearbox like the Whirlpool versions iirc. Didn't catch the rinse mishap till you mentioned it!

It would be cool To mess with the microcontroller programming. Any idea how this is done by the engineers at WP?

Don't plan on doing anything to it until I know how the circuit works. I was able to track down a technical manual for the Whirlpool version, and indeed there are two different wiring diagrams. One for the machines with 2 "encoder switches" and one with 3 or 4. The Sears parts outlet does...

Hello all, I'd like to start by saying my daily driver is the Kenmore equivalent of a Whirlpool VMW. I have one of the older models that does fill all the way and have a true corkscrew agitator. My main issue is that there is no rinse selector knob like the Whirlpool wtw4800 series has. This...

These machines Are in fact on GE's website if you Google search the model number. They look pretty much the same as the higher end one to me. Only thing that looks different from a parts diagram is the agipeller which doesn't even have a listing in the parts supply yet. I haven't checked to see...

Current washers Are sad I will agree. They're so flimsy. But for the price I wouldn't complain. Yes, the DD Kenmore's and such may have offered more for the same price, but if you look at the prices of true old school machines and inflate them, we are saving a lot of money on these new ones. SQ...

Video! Finally found a video of one of these with an adequate water level. Rollover isn't that bad! http://https//youtu.be/9aZclf8NNuU

I was browsing Lowe's website earlier today and spotted a new GE machine. It's just like their VMW clone, however it seems like a more BOL version. Model gtw330askww. The lowest used to be the gtw460asjww. The new one has a 3.8 cu ft tub vs 4.2, and the agipeller has 4 vanes instead of 3. I'm...

Ironic how the Calypso is one of the better "old school" washers per se, but back then consumers complained about them. Will we be saying the same thing about the current Cabrio's in 15 years? I didn't realize these machines were so expensive to produce. I've read that the Calypso's used PSC...

I'm a little confused as to why Whirlpool doesn't sell a modern version of the Calypso wash system. They offer a more effective wash action than the current cabrio line, all while conserving water (12 gallons total iirc?). Sounds like a win-win to me. Any ideas?

videos Anyone find some other videos of this machine working? Would be nice to see how these handle clothes vs the current VMW's. On another note, how is the Haier buyout of GE's appliance division going to affect their current lineup, including these machines? They seem to stack up pretty...

I was just thinking the same thing. It would be nice to see how these perform with an adequate amount of water, especially up against the Whirlpools.

Video Here's a video I found on youtube of one of these machines working. http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxgXZ3npY9c

Men are like I love it! Sooo funny!
