I just hope if these new DD Maytags do take the place of KA, that they will have the premium features and warranties the KA machines had. Interesting things ahead. Hope it is all for the better.
The Big M, Maytag was a great American Icon. Guess any company can get driven into the ground. I guess they would of been eaten alive anyway with steel supply cost, and their employee benefit package. A few signatures on some sheets of paper and poof its all over. Very scary, like they never even existed.
and to think Maytag invented the *gyratator* style agitator, that everyone copied, and didnt they introduce the flex-fins also? in a hundred years the Master wringers and Washpower automatics will still be here...
I just think it will be interesting to see if WP will keep the current Maytag TL lineup or totally redesign the line.
I guess TL washing has come about as far as it can go and we will be seeing more offerings of the HE variety of machines. Who knows...anybody's guess unless you are an insider.
