I notice Costco has been carrying more and more Whirlpool applicances. I was really surprised to see among the Whirlpool frigs a Kenmore frig this morning when I was at Costco. I belive it was branded "Kenmore Signature". Does anyone know if this is something new, where Kenmore will be sold at...

Left Out A Cycle; Does Duet and Kenmore Control Temp? I was looking at my initial review and I noticed I left out one cycle. I did not list Normal Casual. I am curious for those of you who have the Duet or Kenmore HE's, do they tightly control your settings temp settings for the various...

Already On Sale I just checked out Sears web site and apparently the HE2 is already on sale. The site states regular price is 899.99 but until October 8, the price is 799.99. I also note that they have their Kenmore front washer (new style Frigidaire branded Kenmore) on sale for 759.99...

Dimensions In case anyone is interested in the dimensions of this machine, I went to one of the web sites listing it and found the dimensions to be: H: 41.5" W: 27.0 D: 31.5 How does that compare in size to the Duet? It is 3.5" taller, the same width and 1/4" less depth. I got the dimensions...

Top Loaders Changing I don't think top loaders are going to go away. If you look at the top 10 Consumer Reports top loaders, I believe the top 7 are all "Energy Star" high efficiency washers. It might be that in order to meet Federal standards the conventional top loader will no longer be made...

Sanitary Cycle Regarding using whitest white vs. sanitary cycle for whites, I know growing up you always hear that people actually boil water to soak white in to get them the whitest. I did one load of whites with the sanitary cycle and they came out really white. I guess it is a trade off as...

FL Neptune You don't mention it, but I assume your FL Neptune is the one without a glass in the door (only the newest model of Neptune has a glass in the door). That is a disadvantage as you are not able to monitor your suds level (thereby adjusting detergent used). As stated above, use only HE...

Conversion of 15 kg I asked on another forum for a conversion for the 15 KG. Posters were in agreement that 15 kg is equal to 33.07 lbs of laundry. The Duet, by comparison, only hold 9.07 KG of laundry or 20 lbs. That's incredible that this machine can hold over 1/3 more than the Duet! There...

New Speed Queen Front Loaders Today I had lunch near this ancient coin laundry. I get a kick in walking through and seeing the really old and worn front loaders (but still keep plugging away despite missing parts of lower front panels). Today I was surprised as all the old front loaders were...

Talked to KA Customer Service Today I talked to KA customer service today. I wanted clarification on what the KhwS02rmt has extra compared to the previous machine (one with 1 in code). It has two things: superior sound insulation and faster spin speed (1300 rpm). I also checked with Whirlpool...

Nice Picture! Thanks Chestermikeuk! That's a nice picture. I have only the washer (my dryer is a perfectly fine Kenmore with stainless steel drum and since I only use a dryer during winter, I don't see any need to replace it). I go to London every couple of years. One of the things I enjoy...

Store Locations/Sanitary Cycle Regarding locations that have the Kitchenaid on display, I know here in the San Francisco Bay Area, none of the "big box" stores had it on display. There might be some smaller speciality stores that have it. I need to clarify something. I had called Kitchenaid...

I have had my Kitchenaid FL washer a week now. I wanted to go ahead and start a thread about this machine. As I have more experience with this machine I will add. First of all a big drawback to this machine is that it is very hard to actually see one before you buy it. I live in the San...

Consumer Reports Came From May I subscribe to on line Consumer Reports. The new ratings (including the Maytag Neptune 8700 and the new Frigidaire for the first time) just appeared on the on-line Consumer Reports just a few days ago. To me, it was news. Turns out however, according to postings...

CR Ratings for Top Loaders Listed below are the top ten for Top Loaders. Actually, on closer examination, I overstated how expensive top loaders have become. Of the top ten, only one (number 1) is priced more than $1,000. There is certainly, however, a trend for increased costs for top loaders...

I was on another web site (gardenweb, laundry board) and someone made a post that Consumer Reports just came out with new ratings. Here are the top 10 for Front Loaders: Top ten in order: 1 HE4t 2 Duet HT GHW9400P 3 Bosch Nexxt Premium WFMC6400UC 4 LG WM2432H 5 Siemens ultraSense...

Who is Making Them? I am curious as to who is making them for GE. I saw one post perhaps somewhere in China? If anyone knows, please post. If they turn out to be a quality machine, they could really re-align the pricing for the deluxe front loaders.

Good Service From The Big Box Bushmaster- Glad to hear you have your issue resolved. Also glad to hear that Home Depot did right by you, allowing you the option to either have another service call or to return the machine. I just had the same experience with Lowes. I had two service calls on...

Define What Is Important Before you can determine which machine is best for you, you will need to list out those features you really want. First, do you want a top loader or a front loader? Front loaders are considered to be better machines (clean clothes more gently, better, and use far less...

Speed Queen (35 lb.) Commericial Just Posted on Ebay I was just on ebay. I did a search for speed queen. It is common to see the smaller speed queens commercial front loaders listed (25 lb.). Tonight, however, there is a 35 lb. model listed. The person stated he bought it a few years ago for...
