I tend to think that vacerator was making a joke.
Most Maddening Washer Commerical
- Thread starter Chetlaham
- Start date
As most shocking as this sounds, mine outlived my filter-flo. Still, I will not give them a pass. It's rare for any of them.
I'm sure they did! Whirlpool was the most advanced, hands down.
Well, the commercial told flat outlies. That's what we're mad about. Take it from somebody who have used these machines. There's nothing innovative about this washer. That squeaking and sawing during agitation was the most annoying of the GE, in addition to the twisting and shaking of the cabinet even though the suspension was free to move when the shipping rod was removed per instructions. Yes, the machine was used properly. I was shocked it didn't blow up due to how cheaply built it was.
And proper care of the model T did nothing. We used all 3 temps available on both machines.
What John failed to mention was the movement of the cabinet while washing on the normal/fast speed combination, especially with a super sized load of laundry.
Plenty of other washer brands and washer topics are discussed in depth.
Somehow I can't help but feel that there are a notable amount of Model T sympathizers on this forum.
If it’s “your” thread you have more responsibility to stay on topic with the subject you started instead of blabbing away.
Calling on topic discussion as blabble is what is actually veering the thread off.
I have made statements, presented facts and backed them up in tandem with the topic being discussed. As has Matt and Jerome.
Shame on GE for playing on upscale buyers' emotions. We saw how they said that their washers could turn over clothes back in 1995 to try to compete with Maytag and Whirlpool. No wonder why they got sued. The commercials lied.

I have a question for you....
When you're sitting around, in person, with a couple of friends, and several of them discuss something "off topic", do you tell them to avoid that sort of thing?
Do you tell them they are "babbling away" because you're annoyed by it?
Or is that something that's been unnaturally born from the internet?

Yes Matt, that's capitalism. Andrew Carnegie did it, J.P. Morgan did it, Rockefeller, etc.

However, it's gotten out of hand recently.
Before, it was just to generate profit and stability within a company.
Today, it's about greed, along with the conditioning of society (beliefs, brainwashing, etc.)
My nephew's father-in-law is a maintenance manager at a Samsung semiconductor manufacturing plant (not appliances) in the Austin TX area. Nephew's wife works in HVAC control/management at the same plant. She is moving to a new/expansion semiconductor plant when construction is finished.

Mine was definitely from the 80's. As you can clearly see, it's since gotten replaced. Personally, if we still owned that cabin today, I would've rather had gotten a T series or better yet a front loader instead of a shredmore.

Yes Matt, since our economy moved from manufacturing as a main cord to the service and technical norm. The union busting, and benefit slashing like pensions. Not that 401ks are bad, except when the economy and markets recede, so do they. The greed is also geared to investors and part of them are funds and 401ks. The top brass compensation is in part too.
Yes! Them!
Yeah well I’ve used two of these T GE washers too, and my experience was not the same. They were both fine. And you two tiddlywinks won’t accept that most of the model T washers ran perfectly fine and quiet for years to come. Maybe you and Chet got duds. Or you’re just abusive to machines.
Most? Just look at any video of a Model T. There are plenty. Just listen between 4:06 and 9:35.
Despite being repaired a few months prior according to the description:
The failure rates of Model Ts is astronomical, so much so you have video after video of these washers glitching out and dying in real time. You don't see these types of video anywhere at the rate of other washers like the direct drive despite there being at least 9 times more alternative brands in existence.
That doesn't factor in the horrible cleaning, linting and rough handling of garments.
These washers were literally plus sized iterations of children's toys.
Thats why you use the medium speed for normal garments on a direct drive. High speed agitation for Heavy duty, Slow speed for delicate items and intermediate extra slow for handwash.
Whirlpool actually put speeds to garments correctly instead of trying out various compromises between makes and models.
Lmao. Ok whatever. Have your fantasies. It doesn’t really matter. Ts aren’t made anymore anyway.
Recorded reality isn't fantasy. Anyway, hanging spring suspensions are still made today.
I believe the model T had something to do with this. Everything the commercial stated was a lie. GE's still lying about their machines. The ultra fresh is a lie!
Mine may have outlasted my filter-flo, but that doesn't mean anything. Shame on you GE!
Excuse me? Are you serious? What the heck? Did you even stand in front of the washer while it was agitating when you first got it?
I'd use the heavy duty speed for my laundry. I have sturdy cottons anyway.
