Most Maddening Washer Commerical

GE research and development

So what was the research and development like when GE created this washer? I bet Whirlpool did more research and development than GE ever did.

The post filter flo was merely a decoy. GE had built up its reputation by that point. In 1995 they made the decision to squeeze what ever money they could out of their appliance division and bail into the sunset.

ever since then

Ever since then, GE washers and dryers have gone downhill. There's no research and development. It's shameful that Whirlpool had taken a dozen years of research and development. I bet Whirlpool had gotten bigger than GE at that point. I'm surprised that my GE pair lasted for 17 years.

From what I've read GE appliances is now owned by Haier. Establish brand, squeeze every dime out of brand, then sell off brand. It tends to be a common thing in the business world.

getting worse

In my opinion, GE washers and dryers only seem to be getting worse. What a shame!

Haier bought GE appliance division six years ago.

There are so many mistakes and in accuracies in this it’s ridiculous the guy has no idea what he’s talking about for the most part there are some pretty pictures of it may be worth watching just for that.

Whirlpool being pissed...

I have a feeling that Whirlpool was pissed off at GE for copyright infringement.

whirlpool vs. GE

I truly believe that Whirlpool found out about GE's copycat and proceeded to sue them. They should've told GE to "stay in your lane!"

GE sounds

Don't forget about the loud clunking sound that GE makes when going into spin when changing to fast speed, even when everything set to normal/fast. Whirlpool should be offended at what GE did!

Jerome do you just make this stuff up? I don’t think there was any lawsuit related to rinsing or noises between whirlpool and GE involving top loading washers.

Please cite evidence of a lawsuit involving these things.

Repeating what John just said: Prove to us that all you've been saying is TRUE! Show us the facts or shut up!

Jerome! The article is from 1997! How is it relevant today? Please explain !

 

[gelaundry4ever]

Trust me...

I've stood right next to both on separate occasions and the sounds that the Whirlpool and GE made were VERY similar - nearly a carbon copy! To me, GE copied nearly everything that the whirlpool did. From agitation, to the spin cycle doing that clunking noise during the start of spin.

GE washer

Here's the GE washer. Notice that the whirlpool and GE sound nearly identical during operation. Tell me I'm wrong!
