Let’s talk about the next DVD

[lesto]

Can you do one load with the top on and one with it off? That way we can get the full effect of the tub illumination from the tub light and still have one load with it off for those who want to see more of the behind the tub mechanics.

Oh. Can we have a few shots of the timer like you did on the Wizard DVD? Thanks.

51 General Electric

Or we could always go with the 51 General Electric instead of the Dishwashers....sorry couldn't resist being a smart@$$. I think it is a good idea on doing the dishwasher DVD later as you can then include the "new" KitchenAid. As far as the loads to wash ...I would like to see a load of colors and a load of whites. I love to see clothes dive down to the bottom and reappear at the top. Slosh around freely like they are supposed to in an Automatic!

51 GE

So is this washer like the one on today's (11/9) POD? If so, I can certainly go along with a DVD on that and certainly willing to wait for DW DVD is more machines would be included on it.

I always wondered if there's software that will do "picture in picture" so you have the timer in a small window in the corner of the screen while you have the action in the main screen.

That's a great idea Les. Don't get me wrong; it's cool with the top off, but I've never seen pictures or videos of a GE AW5 in action with the top on and would really like to see the perspective.

If every cycle was with the top on, that wouldn't bother me either. What does everybody else think?

Top on vs. Top off

Austin asked: "If every cycle was with the top on, that wouldn't bother me either. What does everybody else think?"

Like the first one, I'm hoping that new DVD features two different cycles. My vote would be: one cycle with the top off and one cycle with the top on.

Just my $0.02.

I can film it however you guys like, but I don't think you all realize how little the opening is in the early GE. It was one of the smallest openings of any machines ever made. I can film it this way, but you wont see very much, it would probably be better to film two wash loads with the top off looking down into the tub and then have a short third program filmed of a few minutes with the top on. The light is only a 25watt bulb and probably won't be bright enough to be seen on camera properly, I will experiment though.

Message to "Unimatic"

In my opinion, it makes perfect sense to just leave the top off. Make it easy on yourself, and let all the action inside the machine show!

Robert,

Perhaps you could make a few pictures before the final decision? I would prefer to see at least one cycle with the top on even if it's a small opening. That's what one would normally see.

They say that a pic is worth a 1,000 words

Louis took the words right out of my keyboard when he said: "Perhaps you could make a few pictures before the final decision? I would prefer to see at least one cycle with the top on even if it's a small opening. That's what one would normally see." Great minds think alike!

I have to disagree- if there is little or no action, I prefer to let Robert be the judge as to how many cycles with the top off. If I'm going to be looking at little or no action on the DVD, I prefer Robert's idea of just a few minutes with the top on.
