New Maytag Neptune Regarding the new Maytag Neptune, I have one of them, but the model without the direct drive. I really love the capacity of my new machine. I had the Frigidaire FL for eight years and the difference in how the clothes come out is really amazing. With the Frigidaire the...

Speed Queen Commercials On Ebay I was alerted on this board to a link on ebay, where a landrymat owner was selling several Speed Queen front loaders. I just checked back and those machine apparently have already sold. Now there is a new listing on Ebay from a landrymat owner in Orland Park, IL...

Maybe Whirlpool Will Preserve Samsung connection? New York Times did a big article a little over a month ago. Gest of article was that Whirlpool was going against conventional wisdom in that it was having its (and Kenmore) big front loaders made - not in Mexico, Korea, China - but in Germany...

I purchased my Frigidaire FL in 1998 and the bearings went out on it this year. I would have considered having it repaired, but preferred to purchase a much larger FL than investing $300 to $400 in replacing the bearings on the Frigidaire. I know my experience is not unique as the bearings...

Update to Problem with Machine I just wanted to update and let everyone know that I had my service call and machine is now operating OK. Maytag repairman arrived this am. He started by having machine do the "spin" function. Machine spinned flawlessly. I said to him: "I don't see any water in...

Vibration/Rattle Resolved Maytag repairman arrived this am. He started by having machine do the "spin" function. Machine spinned flawlessly. I said to him: "I don't see any water in the machine". He responded that with the spin function it didn't put any water in the machine, it only spinned. I...

Vibration Has History! I was exploring a web site (Gardenweb.com) and found a thread on the Neptune 8700. Issue seems to be common that these new Maytag machines arrive with a vibration issue. Postings are listed below. I sure hope that my problem will be resolved as readily as the people's! I...

Noisey Pump Scott- Thank you for the input. I think in my case, however, that there is an extra noise beyond the regular noise of the pump. It makes a loud swish or roar like sound. That you expect (my last fl had it too). This machine has something extra, a metal rattle that accompanies the...

Add On To Review I just wanted to provide an update. I called Lowells about a service call for the machine. They gave me a special number to call which then gave prompts for the various machines, including Maytag. I then talked to a Maytag rep., he told me that the loud metal vibrating noise...

OK, here goes, here is my initial review of the new Maytag Neptune (Samsung). First of all this is the Model 8700, not the top of line 8900. As I understand the 8900 has direct drive and the sanitize function whereas the 8700 does not. Also realize that this is not the same Maytag Neptune front...

This Sunday I will be taking delivery of my third washing machine since I purchased my house in 1996. The new machine is a Maytag Neptune (samsung) and, of course I am very excited about it. My outgoing machine is a Frigidaire front loader and I think it was a great little machine until the...

Beware Bearing on Frigidaire Front Loader I bought the Frigidaire front loader in 1998. While it is not "dead", it is easy to tell the bearings have gone out. General wisdom is that you are looking at least $300 to have it repaired. Other postings I have read indicated that their bearings went...

This last weekend, my new Maytag/Samsung didn't get delivered as promised, so I had to make my way to the local laundry mat. Actually it was a good experience. They had over a dozen Speed Queen stainless steel front loaders. They look to be at least 20 years old. I loved that they had the...

Machine and Review Both Delayed By One Week! Hi! I stated this thread earlier this week, anticipating that I would be posting a review today, which was the delivery date for my Maytag (Samsung) machine. I was told by Lowe's to be by my phone between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM this morning and to...

I am excited about having purchased the new Maytag Neptune. Related to this, I was surfing to see what I could find on Samsung's web site. I also visited GL's website too. It was interesting as on both sites there was a description of a new technology in washing machines that is a steam cleaning...

I spent some time surfing, trying to find out the sales figure for washing machines is in the United States. I found one site, and they have a report on US washing machine sale for 2004. Problem is, you can only access the index as to actually access the report you have to pay like $295. So I...

I just purchased the new Maytag Neptune. Eight years ago I was in the market for a machine and was torn between the Frigidaire front loader and the Maytag Neptune. The Frigidaire won out based on price, the glass in the door and the superior Consumer Reports review. Now the Frigidaire has the...

Kitchen Aid Ensemble for $1250! I have had the Kitchen Aid Ensemble for over a year now. Really love the machine! I paid $1,600 for it. Now, as others have seen, they are selling the Ensemble at Costco for $1,250. I looked the machine over and it is identical in appearance to my machine in...
