Tide really is hard to beat, in cleaning and freshness. It’s no wonder so many people come back to it after using other brands. My mother was a sworn user, plus Oxydol. Her wash was the cleanest I ever saw. The original fragrance was a bit sweet smelling for my taste, but far better than current...

I own the 432 also. To get better performance on large loads or high sudsing detergents, esp on towels and jeans, I hit the reset fill knob to manually fill up the tub to above the top row of the holes in the tub. (I have learned the hard way, washing a very full load without that extra water I...

I heard it spins slower so as not to set wrinkles in on Permanent Press fabrics. Frustrating on a load of towels or jeans. At least there’s a short spin rinse that helps. Barry

For me it would be the direct drive dual action agitator, chunk, chunk, chunk, chunk...It cranks my nerves. Give me smooth old school belt drive one piece agitator any day. Barry

Our Grandparents already knew this. I do like my bath towels soft and clean smelling though. Kitchen towels I’ll hang out and sun bleach, it makes a big difference. Makes a big difference on my utility bill also. Barry

I, too, have been washing more dishes by hand. I like to get done and not wait on the 2 hour dishwasher, then have to go back and unload. I still use the dishwasher when Im baking or cooking a lot but since I live alone, I have to save up enough dishes for a full load and that takes nearly a...

That was interesting, but long. A few thoughts came to my mind, nothing in particular order: • They mentioned the need to reduce plastic consumption, but to me they seem to use plenty with their Tide Cleaners wrapping the clothes orange colored wraps. • The Loads of Hope is very worthy and...

Thank you! Barry

Congratulations! It’s beautiful!!! I didn’t know a Maytag made appliances in that color, for wringers. They are good washers and brings back many memories. As for water, use as much as you want, or need to get the desired results. Does this have the lint filter agitator? Could you take an...

I had never heard of this. Curious to learn more. Barry

The Norge was a very good washer. Loud, but good. We had a 1969 wards, it cleaned anything thrown at it. As good as it was, it only lasted about 8 years or so. Huge capacity. Barry

Excellent job. That is an excellent washer. Congratulations! Nice job. Hope it will give you many years of trouble free service. That washer would be my washer of choice. Barry

Thank you!! I feel a little better knowing what is causing the noise. Yes, it’s a top freezer model. Think I’m going to try and get someone out here to repair, even though it’s older. Think it was bought 2000 or so. It’s been an excellent fridge. Barry

Woke up in the middle of the night to a loud refrigerator! Needing a brand recommendation for a new one. Are there any brands to stay away from? Would like something that has good reliability. Current one is over 20 years old, can’t complain as it’s given good service, it was a GE. Any input...

Would be interesting to find out that info. I had read somewhere a while back that they had approached Whirlpool concerning the surgulator agitator design. They were able to secure a near copy of it for their washers. Around that time I learned that Whirlpool loaned them money when they were in...

This is a good discussion. I totally agree with much of the viewpoints. The flume and direction of the water hitting the clothes would, in my mind, be essential. The WP/KM belt drives of yesteryear was the absolute best for spray rinsing, better than a waterfall type. That old system was evenly...

About 82f here, outside San Antonio, 12:30 noon. It’s so hot outside!!!

Does anyone know why WalMart never got into the appliance sales in a big way? Sometimes I would see a very select handful for sale at Sam’s Club but hardly any selection. I remember seeing back in the 80’s-90’s White-Westinghouse washers dryers. I would have thought they would have done well...

I like your laundry room!!! Clean and inviting. The colors are bright and cheerful. Looks like it would be easy to keep clean. Barry

Always liked the sound of the FilterFlo water going into the pan and the hum of the agitation. My Mom had one, best washer we ever owned, as did my favorite aunt. Barry
