Well John, maybe it's humans who took pride in their work back in the day. This was still the America where people could go to a manufacturing job that had medical insurance and vacation time and make a decent living and have a pretty good life. Now with continued automation of "lowly" blue...

Yes and it was global freezing in the '70s and acid rain in the '80s and I have no idea in the '90s or now..... It's all control of YOUR life Jon....wake up.

No, I don't read racism into it. Should we live a life void of offense ? Many people here offended me by the things they said, but it's okay. I don't take any of it personally. I'll still love on the haters.

I would gladly love to discuss it at length

Thanks again, Cory That was very enjoyable. I guess when we talk about quality we have to be specific. The machines made today certainly aren't robust like these were and the fact that these were built with US steel compared to some of the flimsy metal coming from Asia.

Ask the people who lost homes and families in the wildfires and the earthquakes and the mudslides and floods that are happening all over the globe right now how the Earth is doing

Yes my machine was built in China. It doesn't look like any of the other ge's that are sold in this country. It's clear they were trying to emulate Bosch by the design of the spray arms they used over 10 years ago. GE as an appliance company is not GE anymore. Unfortunately I needed a...

Can confirm what you say Chet as I'm sure anyone who has ever had a WP power clean dishwasher can attest to. I had my portable Whirlpool quiet wash for 30 years and not once... and I mean not once has the machine ever left any bits on the grate or the bottom of the tub. I sprayed very lightly...

That's because they are changing the "culture" at Whirlpool.

If Whirlpool keeps going the way they're going they too will go under. Love them or hate them, it would be tragic to lose our last U.S.based full line appliance manufacturer.

Whirlpool was successful long before any direct drive washers or power clean dishwashers.

The Kenmore belt drive on the other hand always has foam in the wash when you hear the pump running. Sometimes it foams up and other times it doesn't. All because it's an active filter I assume.

Sean, I have definitely found that my Whirlpool belt drive has the clearest rinsing. With the KitchenAid the water seems cloudy a lot. Oddly enough, it clears up if I use some fabric softener, but the belt drive the rinsing for the most part is clean with a little bit of suds on top, but that...

That's the speed Queen I had for 7 years and a great performer especially with unbalance load handling. The KitchenAid though older has many more features. Warm rinsing if that is important to you. It has a porcelain top and lid which is better against chipping and scratching. The KitchenAid...

Didn't Whirlpool have a few plants in this country making washing machines?

Actually, a prime example of being ahead of their time was in 1947 when they came out with the perforated wash basket and neutral drain. Everybody other than speed Queen (North American market) does it now

They became the Juggernaut because of Sears largely. Whirlpool sold most of the machines they made through Sears as the Kenmore brand. Sears easy credit also got more of those machines into people's homes. Sears had a brilliant strategy. Quite possibly had it not been for Sears. The 1900 Corp...

The KitchenAid will give you a gentler wash action than either of the whirlpool or the speed Queen.

Whirlpools last large capacity belt drive Super Surgilator was the Double Duty though by the time my 85 machine was made WP went back to calling it just a Super Surgilator. My mother and me went and bought our first direct drive in October 1988 and it had the lint barrel super surgilator with...
