Confusing isn't it.

Whirlpool Canada (Inglis/Roper/Whirpool/Admiral)

CAMCO (is joint venture GSW (McClary,Easy,Moffat) and Cdn General Electric (Hotpoint). Camco purchased Westinghouses Canadian assets but cannot use the Westinghouse name for home appliances because it belongs to White Con Ind USA for use in North America

Admiral

is Maytag in the US

Huebsch is Speed Queen

You could get Huebsch in Canada which is equivalent to Speed Queen in US.

Agreed but I though Huebsch was coin laundry only. If not, where are they available.
Thanks,

Just curious where you get you're info on the GE Harmony. To start, they are built by LG (not Samsung). I have pair at home and LOVE THEM. They get everything clean, remove dog hair better than anything I've every had. Never had any issue with fabric damage (I've had unit almost 2 yrs). My SS tub looks as good as new.

attention westingcan

of all ge, inglis, and maytag i would not buy any of them i would in fact by a stabersystem 2000 it may not have a matching dryer but it is from my researching online one of the best washers out there, and it uses less water then most and only one (1) ounce of soap to do a complete load of clothes.

Completely agree....go with a new Calypso. They did have problems with some of the first year models (of which I own one). But I've never had trouble with mine and it does do a great job of cleaning. Would buy another in a heartbeat. Takes some getting used to using, but once you get past its differences, I think you'll be very happy with it. Also has a very fast spin speed. Clothes dry fast, and it is SO quiet when its running, has full set of dispensers, auto soak, etc. Only drawback is that you can't change the spin speed, it's set as part of the cycle default. First year models had issues with bra underwires getting caught under the wash plate and destroying the leveler underneath. The machine has no traditional transmission and they are easy to service if you ever need to.

Thanks Monkeywards39 about the Staber advice, unfortunately, they're not sold here - never have seen them or even know of a dealer in Canada for Staber. The GE harmony looks interesting but haven't seen a Canadian dealer that handles them. GE.CA doesn't even show them on their website. Our Sears store stopped carrying the Calypso. I'm becoming increasingly confused.

Hello again! Update time. Against all advice and conventional wisdom. We bought a Maytag Performa PAVT244AWW Rev.23 and absolutely love it. The clothes have never been cleaner and talk about the big tub...now I can wash queen sized comforters. The wrinkle guard cycle actually works too so much less ironing. The clothes turn over in the tub is excellent.

The deciding factor was the dealer as much as the product. "Gords Maytag" has been around a long time and has won numerous times for the best business in the city. Besides getting a decent price $599 Cdn, there was no delivery or disposal charge for the old washer and this also included setup to satisfaction. Other places wanted almost an additional $100 for the delivery and disposal.

I also like the 10 year warranty on the transmission. So who knows. Maytag is the underdog right now and I can't help but think they get a bum wrap. It's kinda like the discussion on the bias of Consumers Reports. We all know that twice as many people bitch as praise so against all odds I'm glad I went with Maytag.
