Beautiful sight at Best Buy

[jasonl]

I was at Best Buy today and I just had to take this pic. Yes, it's a phone picture but I captured the moment well.

Ya think LG is trying to flood the market or what?

Looks awesome Jason.

I hope whirlpool kicks their a$$ off the map. (even though they are nice LOOKING machines)Just my opinion.

 

[agiflow-action]

scary

Since seeing jason's picture it actually made me a little worried.LG isn't playing games. Guys it is only my personal preference,but i hope WP burys them deep.GO WHIRLPOOL!!!

What's wrong with LG?

Todd has an LG set and they're wonderful.

What is it with LG that you don't like? Just curious.

Are they less reliable than Whirlpool?

In my opinion, I think they look better than the WPs.

 

[agiflow-action]

No Jason,they do look like nice machines,I have no idea about how reliable they are.It really isn't nothing personal. Seeing how there are more and more front loaders being offered i feel the toploaders days are definitely numbered.That is something i would hate to see.

What's wrong with LG?

Actualluy Jason i do like LG,and I agree,they are better looking than the WP fl's.
I just have a bad feeling that the toploader is going to become a thing of the past sooner than imagined.DOE restrictions concerning water and energy is a joke.They should get out of our laundry rooms.
I seriously doubt my tl washer is helping to deplete our sources of water.
As i said,i just hate to think the tl washer may one day soon be phased out.
I imagine the choices for a tl will become very narrowed in the future.Just one of those things we will be forced to get used to i suppose.

I was hoping to see the LG set in black but with the rear control panel and if they were to do so, it would look too much like a Kenmore which I do like!

I just hope that Whirlpool/Sears would upgrade their He5t in black with rear control panel to give LG a run for their money!!!

 

[agiflow-action]

Sorry about the repost.My first response to Jason didn't come up.

 

[agiflow-action]

I like KM fl machines from a styling point of view beeter than the WP ones.Competition is good.It has brought about some interesting designs from our domestic manufacturers in the last several years.It is scary to think that one day fl washers may be all we have to choose from.

 

[appnut]

I doubt TL washer will go completely away. Who knows, may have a consumption tax on them some day. Personally, I prefer the Kenmore FL Hetties because of the additional flexiblity and options they have over the Duet HTs.

Agree with LG

I agree. The LG's are much nicer looking than the Duetties. Not nearly as plastic. Still, the Duetties appear to have more cycle flexibility than the LG's.

DOE

There are still top load washers out there and probably always will be. The GE Harmony meets the standards, but as you saw in the videos, can be programmed for a full-fill. The Eco F&P meets the standards with a shower rinse and sensor fill (correct?) but it can still be preset for a deep rinse as well. We don't have shortages of water here, rarely do we even have restrictions on water use (just friendly, gentle suggestions now and then ;-) and water typically costs less than $20 per month for most families. I have the WP Duet washer and have been quite satisfied with the performance of washing and rinsing overall. Not that I would give up my top-loader...

"Not that I would give up my top-loader..."

Besides the machines in your collection, do you have a modern TL that gets heavier use?

LG FL at BB

I saw the black pair right at the entrance to the store in my area-clever placement by the store staff.You see and walk past the machines as you go in the store.I was shopping for DVD movies that day.I think TL will always be around.For people in my area-the FL isn't much of a saving.The energy and water costs are still pretty low here.Yet the stores are really pushing the FL machines.They look nice though.I saw in one of rthe other posts -get the politicians out of our laundry rooms-please let the CONSUMER decide what machine he wants.

 

[jmirawm]

hmmmmmmmm

Just wondering how awful it will be in the future, when we have closets like the jetsons and NO water is used for cleaning our clothes.

 

[tolivac]

Hmmmmmm

At that point--we just might have "paper" clothes that you wear-then throw them away after use??They could be made of a water resistent paper or non woven cloth material(Tyvek)In fact there is a plant under construction that is being built by Raleigh-NC that will make "Tyvek" clothes.Tyvek is a nonwoven polyelifin material that can be made smooth and Stiff(like regular paper-for signs,banners)or soft like cloth for clothes.

 

[arrrooohhh]

Paper clothes

Eww, paper clothes sound disgusting, I should imagine they wouldnt "breathe" very well and we would be quite uncomfortable. With Fashion the thing that it is and the industry it is, I very much ever doubt that is going to happen.

Imagine a society where we were all given standard issue paper suits.

Still some of us I am sure could carry it off with style.

 

[arrrooohhh]

Competition from LG

I dont think LGs comptetion is a bad thing, I think that comptetition and government regulations have led to some creative products like the Maytag Neptune TL.

US top loaders have been all the same for years, esp with the Dual Action agitator. You lift the lid and they all look the same inside.
