S.S. Kresge didn't die until 1966, so he was around for Kmart's opening. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S._S._Kresge

I've never seen OSB cabinet doors before. I think that house was hideous, even when new in the 1970's. I'll pass.

TC5 I bought a TC5 in May 2024. So far I love it. Retail is $1479, most dealers mark them $1329. While expensive, these aren't big box stores, and they will usually negotiate. Got mine for $1150 total, with free delivery, installation, haul away, and $90 extension hose.

reply #184 I know he was, but he also said: "knowing the TC models have the same exact start button I could foresee many issues and inconveniences occurring with that" I was just pointing out that there was no inconvenience, or issues. It's also a capacitive touch button, not mechanical, so it...

clarify For a pause that is. You do need to touch the button to start a load. But you don't need to rotate a dial. I actually prefer it to my old EM Maytag. If I overshot the timer setting, I had to rotate it all the way around again...

Reply #179 The TC5 has the same button The TC5 has a start button, but there is no need to use it. If you open the lid it stops, when you close the lid it restarts. No button press required.

Sterilite makes much better products, silicone seals, and easy snap closures. More durable, made in the USA, and half the cost. I'm surprised Tupperware lasted this long, they've been declining for years: https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/23/business/tupperware-decline-pandemic-dg/index.html

Am I missing something? Yes. You really have no idea how "most" consumers do their laundry. How would you? And most washers do a very good job, even if they aren't as durable as they used to be. You are right about on thing regrading your posts - This cycle never ends.

Speed Queens TC washer definitely wouldn't cut it. I could see an extra rinse for filthy loads. On my old 35 year old Maytag, if something was really filthy, I would stop it after first spin, put in a little more soap, and restart it. So two washes, and one rinse. Your last paragraph was...

I give up. He said he never used bulky/sheets, but he has tons of experience with it, and says it won't clean well. I mean, if I was really that worried about clean clothes, I would never use a public machine. Who knows what's been in there? Disgusting. You win.

dishonest? Where did I say he was being dishonest? He has never used one on bulky/sheets. He said so. And after all that he replies "/does it matter? The wash action is generally the same." Personally, I think using a machine once, on one cycle, is tons of experience. As he claimed that is...

I have empathy, but I'm baffled as to what that has to do with the subject of wash cycles, agitation, or anything else here. Or why he just revived another 2 year old thread below this one, to repeat himself again. It gets old. If I recall, we have actual blind members here, who don't behave...

I live by experience No you don't live by experience. You've never used a TC5 on bulky/sheets, or you would know that it moves the clothes more than effectively. And that they come out clean and spotless.

Reply# 142 OK, but he keeps telling everyone how to use the TC5. Which he has never used. It has a deep rinse on every cycle. You can even add it to ECO if you want. But he clearly stated the agitation is too gentle. Again, on a machine he has never used. And if you need to do a load of...

washing everything on bulky The agitation on bulky is very strong, the clothes turn over freely and often. You should actually use the machine before giving us your opinion on how to use it. I use bulky as it uses the proper amount of water, and in theory will cause less wear on the clothes...

Maytag BTW, even my old Maytag LA211 would fill over half full when set to the lowest point on it's continuously variable water level. Still too much if you just need a couple items washed. So I stuck to full loads.

worse than having load sensing How is it worse? I know what the levels are, I listed them before. Eco cycle = 12.5 gallons per fill or 14.5 gallons with deep fill. Permanent Press/Heavy Duty = 14.5 gallons per fill or 19 gallons with deepfill. Delicates/Bulky = 16 gallons per fill or 19...

The TC5 does not have load sensing. It fills to the same level every time, based on the cycle you choose. It has a pressure sensing switch. https://partsdr.com/part/203843-pressure-sensor-switch...

I've never needed a second fill rinse. How much soap are you using? There are no suds in the rinse cycle, I've checked.

BTW By the way, there are 4 levels that you can choose on the TC5. 12.5. 14,5, 16, and 19 gallons. Seems Eco with extra rinse would work fine for small loads, if I wanted to waste the time.
