GE washer
Here's the GE. Notice how the whirlpool and GE sound VERY similar to each other. What was GE thinking?

I really don't believe there is such a thing as a signature sound to be patented on a washing machine.
Whirlpool copied by GE
The thing that gets Chetlaham and myself is the fact that GE copied Whirlpool back in 1995 and later through nearly everything, including the agitation action. I'm sorry, but Whirlpool has a better sounding washer than GE.

That article you posted is about this particular lawsuit where WP sued GE because GE infringed on the dual action agitator which was patented. I posted about this patent debacle almost ten years ago. Why didn't Maytag get sued? Because the Load Sensor agi, albeit a dual action, had a completely different mechanism than WP and its DA agi.
There is no such thing as a washer lawsuit that was launched because they "sounded" the same. They are a washing machine. Not a song.

I've heard LOTS of pumps in washing machines that sound almost EXACTLY the same.
I remember when that commercial came out..
It usually aired on Sunday mornings when political shows like This Week and Face the Nation were on. The people who watched those shows were policymakers who probably did not even know how to turn on a washing machine. They probably saw when shopping that it was cheaper than the others and bought it for their "help"

GE thugs and criminals
The thugs and criminals at GE don't give a damn about the customer. All they care about is their pockets. The GE I had after the filter-flow shook its entire cabinet. That was so stupid! I remember in early 2004, the suspension straps did a rhythmic knock in sync with the agitator. Their washers and dryers still sound like stupid crap![this post was last edited: 3/4/2024-19:36]

Its pick on GE month!
There is nothing which radicalizes more than a post FF washer. The loss of freedom, the loss of consumer choice, the loss of dignity.
Given the pent up madness I think we could all use a vent!

GE anger
Yes, I am still angry at GE for what they did. All of this could've been avoided if Jack Welch would've just minded his own business and let a CEO who knows about quality take over. They're still touting that their washers are the best in the world. That's a lie! This is what happens when people Jack Welch ruin the appliance business. The ball was ABSOLUTELY set in motion! I am still angry about this![this post was last edited: 3/7/2024-17:46]

matching dryer
Oh, I forgot to mention, the matching GE dryer to the post filter-flo started groaning the longer it ran. GE washers and dryers are truly stupid crap! Yes, GE deserves to be picked on especially after what they did! Screw GE!

Oh, I remember that thing. Cooked clothes on the cottons setting, shut off damp on the PP press to the point you had to reset the cycle numerous times. GE used a convoluted thermostatic control system which demonstrated no benefit- just taking out one of the heaters through most of the cycle. Than again maybe the dryer can't handle 5,600 watts of heat right behind the clothes. My Whirlpool dryer handles those 5,600 watts very well and cycles it normally too without overheating or setting fires.
Its funny how they never really redesigned the dryers when they were the biggest danger, LOL.

GE washer and dryer
Whenever my dad used our post filter-flo set, he'd use optimum dry on the cottons high temp on the dryer and extra heavy cottons on the washer and normal/fast. Both the washer and dryer sounded cheap when they ran. Oh, their dishwashers that matched them vibrated their motors so much so that you can hear and feel the vibrations throughout the kitchen and house. I'll never forget that, ever.

The dryers were redesigned somewhat a few years prior to the discontinuation of the Filter-Flo washers. When the new washers were introduced, they just changed the control panel and top to match.

water sloshing
If anything, the only water sloshing noise I heard in that GE washer was the tub ring during agitation when the washer shook violently back and forth. I also heard the transmission working itself to death during each agitator stroke.

GE tough
If GE was truly tough, they should've taken into consideration the most crucial parts, not just cleaning. Think about all the caustic chemicals like detergent, bleach, softeners, etc. etc. I'm sorry, but quality like what they put out really gets to me. And, I'd like to see that phone book test that GE did.

All Lies!
"revolutionary break through in design" "years of research" "the ultimate precision machine" "incredible new"
The lady sounds almost nervous, perhaps deep down she knows but can't consciously articulate that she's being used to sell a mendacious lie.
Nothing about the model T is new, revolutionary are breakthrough. Its a full size version of 70s Hitachi Portable. In fact looking at the 1980s GE laundry service manual the Spaemaker Hitachi bares an uncanny resemblance to the model T.
Not much imagination was required to produce the model T. In fact the stiff filter flo type clutch was a give away GE copied as much as they could only investing the minimum effort required to enlarge the existing Hitachi design.
Revolutionary and new goes to the Whirlpool direct drive. The Whirlpool direct drive was the greatest and most unique original jump in laundry since the creation of the top load washer itself. There is nothing else like it while managing to solve many limitations within existing top load washers. The model T solves nothing expect cost while creating more headaches for the user.
Jerome, you know how to push my buttons LOL!
