Maybe Not All Comments On the Money People have given some excellent advise. There are a couple of comments that might not be so great. One posters stated: CONS -- FL's are expensive, and can't adequately wash single large objects like comforters or do very small loads. Also, be warned: the...

I was on another web site (gardenweb) and I ran into a posting regarding the Whirlpool buying of Maytag. The below was posted: APPLIANCE magazine estimates that Whirlpool currently produces 51 percent of the washers that are shipped for U.S. consumption. According to the APPLIANCE magazine 28th...

How Goes the Research? Hey Partsandpieces, How goes the research? Have you made a determination if a commercial washer will work out for you?

Check Out E-Bay Today for Commercial Washers I just checked out e-bay and there were two interesting entries for commercial washers. First Item: a Primus machine made in Belgium, has a buy price of $1,050, lists capacity as 48 lbs. They state they will ship (but at what cost?) Second Item(s)...

Check E-Bay for Used Commerical Machines From time to time, just for the hell of it, I enter commercial washing machine on E-bay. You would be amazed how often commercial washing machines are being sold. Often they are Speed Queen Double Loaders. Usually some laundremat has purchased new...

LG Has 3.83 Capacity? I think you should go with the largest capacity if washing the king size comforter is truly a priority. I had the Neptune (samsung) washer (for a month) and washed a king size comforter. The Neptune is 3.81 and there was no extra capacity when I washed the comforter...

For months now I just assumed the Siemens (as seen at Best Buy) was just a re-branded Bosch. I mean the Bosch and the BB Siemens seem identical from what I can tell. They even advertise with the same language (3D washing, etc.). Today, however, I saw a full page in the New York Times regarding...

Features of the GE Washer Hi Sudsmaster, Thanks for pointing out that the GE fl has a sanitary water temp setting. I agree that even though it doesn't have a sanitary cycle, the fact that you can pick the sanitary water temp gives it the defacto sanitary capacity. Regarding your other point...

First Viewing of GE Front Loader The wait for me today was over. I finally was able to view the elusive new GE front loader! I had to go to my local Home Depot for some bulbs and went over to the applicances. Perfect timing! They had just finished putting out the display models of the GE fl...

Service Call Needed Regarding this post: The washer doesn't fully drain either, I have found that I am squeezing the water out of the clothes before I put them in the dryer. I have cut my loads way down and I still have this problem plus it stays on the final minute of the spin and drain cycle...

My KA Does Not Have Hi Darren, Unfortunately, my KA frontloader does not have the wet rinse function. Whirlpool makes three different versions of its mega large washer. It makes one for its own brand, another for its "upscale" brand, Kitchenaid and it makes the third version for Kenmore. The...

European Influence on American FL Hi! I live in the San Francisco Bay Area in the U.S. Just wanted to give my perspective regarding washing machines. I remember growing up in the midwest and my mom used a ringer type washer. The machine consisted of a large tub with an agitator in the middle...

Hello in the UK! Hi! I make it over to London every few years. One of my things to do is always to go to one of the big department stores and check out the washers. Whenever I have looked, they never had any mega machines, but I hear from a friend that they are now starting to see them. I was...

Good Issues Launderess Launderess, You bring up some good issues. Regarding durability, I think many of us who purchased the mega machines will now be forced into making needed repairs, be they major or minor down the road. I purchased my Frigidaire fl in 98. The bearings gave out earlier...

Good Review! I struck out at the Pittsburg Home Depot, but next weekend I will go right to the Concord Home Depot. I am certain they will have it on display. Sudsmaster, first of all good review. I do have a couple of questions, but I don't that in any way detract from what is really a good...

Hum During Tumbling? Let me ask this here. I had the Frigidaire FL from 98 to earlier this year. I really loved the machine, but I am curious. The machine always had a loud electronic hum as the machine was tumbling. Even when the drum wasn't rotating the motor would hum. Do those of you that...

Hum Not Related to Door Hi Frigilux, I am pretty certain that the hum was not related to the door in any way. The hum was constant, even when the drum was not moving. Listening to the sound, it was easily identifed as a motor hum. Compared to a top loader, it was a really quite machine...

Strike Out At Local Home Depot Today as I was running my weekend errands, I worked in a trip to local Home Depot for the purpose of seeing (for the first time) the new GE front loader washer. I got there and looked in vain for it. I finally asked the saleslady where it was. She explained that...

Ask KA Why No Wash Delay? Hey Sacto! I am surprised that you were able to get any answer at all from KA! I think they have a really good product but when it comes to answering questions, they don't seem to be that great. If you ever happen to communicate with them again about their washing...

Lack of Stainless Steel in Dryer My dryer is only 3 years old and it has a stainless steel drum, so I have elected not to buy the matching KA dryer. You bring up a good point in why they wouldn't go with a stainless steel drum in the dryer. The dryer I have was a Kenmore mate to my Frigidaire...
