Filter-flo to the curb on Thursday

[toggleswitch]

ALL IMHO:

Rule #1: never trust a sales-person. They are there to get a commission for themselves. You are their last concern.
Various mannies offer them different incentives (financial and otherise)to push their own machines by manipulating the behavior of the sale-people.

And last of all, there are MANY points fo view on an issue and more than one road to Nirvana. Let us not forget that Consumer Reports (when they were somewhat respectable) used to downgrade tradtional dependale-care Maytags because their tops did not have a "lip" to contain water. Does anyone really care about that "feature"? Does it affect anything that a person buys a washer to do?

I remember watching a Frigidaire 1-18 training video,and they bashed the Maytag,because the lid opened back,and tended to shut the washer off,by pushing in the timer knob.

I haven't had even one minor problem with my 89 GE. Fingers crossed the truck ride cross country hasn't caused any damage.
Guess I'll find out next month when it gets installed in our new house.

Don't even think about it!

I have a GE post filter-flo washer from 2000. This is after I dumped my filter-flo washer and matching dryer! I also have the matching dryer to the 2000 GE washer! Boy I regret ditching my filter-flo and taking it to the dump! If y're thinking about having your filter-flo set taken to the dump, Don't even think about it! Don't make the same mistake I did!

Jerome, are you aware that you replied to a thread that's THREE THOUSAND days old?

 

Your advice is a bit on the late side.

Yeah, we're getting alot of ancient posts across every forum group being dug up from the tombs. All with the same "GE SHOULD HAVE NEVER GIVEN UP ON THE FILTERFLO SHAME ON YOU GE" rant.

I'm all for passion and nostalgia but maybe we can talk about something else this week?

True story though, GE lost all laundry credibility when they ditched FF.

Coincidence or conspiracy? You decide.

I thought perhaps it was the ghost of Christmas past!

The Filter-Flo was a great cleaner, but they were HUGE water hogs, they had no out of balance shut off and could "self destruct" causing tub or boot damage if ran out of balance, and had rust issues. I'm afraid they would be a huge failure if they were still being sold today.

Jerome, you should check if its still available, always possible to have it shipped!.....

someone should jump on their time machine and save this.....

A thread over 8 years old, I think the washer is long gone.....

I got my Westinghouse laundromat from a 3 or 4 year old thread I found in the archive. I was shocked. It does happen on occasion.
