Whirlpool FL TOL energy usage is 159 kWH vs most manufacturers with heated FL that are in the 100-110 kWH range. I could be wrong, but I’m assuming this difference is either a more powerful heater or a less efficient one. Either way, I’m thinking the 120 volt outlets are not being maxed by the...

I’d get the Speed Queen at $299. It will probably outlast most of the brand new machines coming out today!

Thanks for the info Launderess and Glenn. It’s very much appreciated!

Sorry, I don’t have a model# on it, but for those that know this washer, was it a good washer? Are parts still available? Are these tubs removable so that I can give it a good cleaning? What were the wash temps? I’ll try to update with a model# if the guy gets back to me.

If you’ve had trouble getting a Miele in the US lately it could get worse, much worse. Fellow German/European members, please weigh in on what you think this could mean for Miele, Bosch, ect.

Doesn’t Exist Everything on your list in one machine does not exist anymore. I would make a list from most important to least important.

Globalization is over With globalization at its end, slowly there will be more appliances made in North America. Whether or not that translates to more robust appliances remains to be seen, but the opportunity is here again.

Looks great! I like how it projects the time on the floor!

LG Models Bob, didn’t you or someone in another thread mention that adjusting the soil level when using normal or heavy duty will increase temps as well on the LG models?

Other than the TR7 Other than the TR7, I believe all the rest of Speed Queen's residential machines use the same internals as their commercial and multi-home units.

LG Turbo Wash That was one of my concerns with Turbo Wash. I do not believe they have a separate pump and filter for recirculation like Miele does with their IntenseWash. Certain lifestyles could be very hard on Turbo Wash while others Turbo Wash could work just fine. With your lifestyle...

No problem. Glad I was finally able to get around to doing it. Yes these motors are quiet. The only thing you can hear from the front of the machine is some spray, but you need to be within a couple feet of it to hear it and even then it is faint (at least with these ears). During the drain...

For those that wanted to hear the Kitchenaid, I was able to make a short video of how the KDFE204 sounds. I peeled back the insulation and positioned my phone on the left side of the machine. Here is the link: https://vimeo.com/user177825217

With the longer cycles on newer machines and using rinse aid I haven’t found the need to use pacs. Cascade Powder seems to be more than adequate, cheaper, and easy on the pump. You could always try some powder and see how well things wash.

I’ll try to capture the sound and post on YouTube. Then I’ll post the link.

I love how you incorporated your Power Clean into your kitchen. I would love to have 2 dishwashers if I had room. Most days I have to wash my pots and pans by hand.

@littlegreeny That looks like a Global Wash System filter. Is your filter placement offset to the right of the machine?

Andrew, congrats! You got an amazing deal on you parts machine. I agree this platform looks to be much more solid than the last one. Interesting that they put a different motor in the Kitchenaid on this platform. In the global wash machines didn't the Whirlpools use the same motors as the...

@littlegreeney Here are some pictures of the kitchenaid filter.

So, I had to cancel my Miele order that I made in February as the shipping date kept getting pushed back. Instead I went with a Kitchenaid KDFE204kps. I’ve attached some pictures. These manual filter machines look to be redesigned since the last manual filter machines. I’ve just used...
