Neptune top loaders

We were sent a new plan o gram that shows the neptune tl and matching dryer being replaced by the new GE front loaders.My guess on why, is they are not selling that well.The sales on all Maytag products has deminished quite a bit especially now that we carry the new LG line.I personally have sold quite a few sets(over 200 !)and have yet to hear of any complaints or returns.That's from July 20th,2005 to now.I am also the number one appliance salesperson in our region and zone and just recently jumped to number 2 in the entire company!!!!!! I just got promoted to manager's position in appliances and was given a generous rase.However,my success comes from the knowledge I absorb from going to most of the shows and being a part of it all.With appliances being my lifetime compassion and selling them being my carreer,I am quite comfortable now with my work and enjoy having co-workers who have become my team of specialists!We are close and they know if they have any questions or are puzzled,I am there for them.The only way for a successful business is to carry what the customers want.We were carrying products (like the faulty Neptunes)that caused lots of negative attitudes with our customers.Once we were able to carry a dependable line and the word got out localy from our customers,others came to see what all the rukkuss was about.I am glsd we carry LG and look forward to the "Second Wave" this January when we'll be receiving their new shipment of an entirely new line of ranges,microwave ovens and a larger capacity "Trom"washer and dryer line.I can't wait!!!!
 
I found one thing interesting in reading the user manuals. For the dryer, it sttes the fabric/temp setting not only effect the temperature, but also the tumble speeds. I do like both though in terms of flexibility--it seems the various options are even more flexible than the HE4Ts. Although not published in a washer manual, the target temps were published in the dryer manual. cold 80, warm 105, hot 120 and sanitary 160. For the dryer, a couple of models have anti-bacteria heat settings.
 
What Size the New LG?

Hey Laundromat!

You mentioned that you would be getting a larger Trom in stock in January. Do you know the specific size for the washer? I believe the largest LG washer size now is 3.7. I am curious if the larger size will be 3.8 or slightly larger? Seems to me I read somewhere that in Canada, LG sold a larger unit than available here.

Also, have you actually received the new GE's in stock yet? Once you do, I would be interested in reading what the cycles are.

Thanks.
 
Rich, you can go to the GE web site and download the user manuals for both the washer & dryer. There are 10 cycles. Whites, sanitary, colors/normal, perm press, delicate, quick, stain, hand wash, active wear, rinse & spin. Some variations on the models offer a substitution that includes a wool cycle, a custom cycle (my cycle) and drain & spin.
 
LG TROM

The new LG Troms will be a 4.0 cu ft washer and an 8.0 cu ft dryer.Due to their huge success here in the U.S.They will be available in red,white or blue !!!The combination washer/dryers are also going to have some special changes but that's another surprise I cannot reveal right now.I'd rather keep all of you in suspense!!!!
 
Chuck, ok about the LG's. I particularly like the 8 cu. ft. dryer--can we say NORGE, lol. BUT this is the new GE front loader thread that got got hijacked to LG. Tell us your opinion about the new GE washer & dryer!!!
 
Is the firing squad ready?

To shoot the engineer/designer who ordered more stupid smoked glass for these machines. Glad I was able to strip my Hettie of this obstruction to pleasure.

I get a kick out of the "marketingspeak" they use here too. "Hydro-Motion" wash action-which means the tub reverses. Wow. Thats never been done before! (note sarcastic tone here.)

I personally LOVE when a stupid/pointless Greek word is thrown in by marketing geeks as if the masses have NO CLUE that it means.

TRITON GE DW. Triton means third.

GR=> (Proton, Deuteron, Triton). Three filters or wash arms WHO CARES?

SP=> (Primero, Segundo, Tercero).
We know these too from paint PRIMER- do it first.
Tertiary roads => third tier.

IMHO Nothing beats *Chroma-Color* TVs--> Color-color? That makes sense.
 
My friend Rico and I went out washer shopping today, since his belt drive Kenmore is on its last legs. We hit Home Depot, K-Mart (yes, they sell Kenmore amongst others), Best Buy and Lowes. We were pretty set on an LG at Best Buy, until we found the new GE frontloader at Lowes. Coming in at $200 less than the LG, Rico decided it was the one for him. Being delivered tomorrow, I just gave him a crash course on front load washing. I'll go over to his house in a week or two to see how it works.
 
New GE Front

I have not seen these washers yet but from looking at pictures I still think it is realy LG. Can anyone comment for sure? I am very interested. The thing that looks different is the baffels. What other contries in Europe make these monsters?

Hi Peter, I am sure looking forward to hearing what you thing of the new GE's so please keep us posted. Terry
 
Once and For All, Units Are Not LG

Someone over on THS popped units open and "Little Swan" (Chinese manufacturer) is all over various parts and such inside both the washer and dryer.

LG is in Korea so doubt it is some kind of attempt to hide the true source.

New GE Front

I did further check out my LG combo and now I can see their are some differences in tub designs and that it is somewhat different. I would like to see these units. But they are very simular in design. I wonder why GE didn't go with LG being they already have stuff going with LG. I can't wait to see these new GE's. Does anyone know if these units are direct or belt drive?

Re: I've seen the new GE Units:

Hi! Club Friends and Relatives, I've seen the new GE Front-Load Washer and Dryer, with the Pedestal Drawers. There is a Hardware/Variety Store in an area that I shop in that just got them in late last week. They are pretty good looking Machines, although my first thought was that they look somewhat like the Kenmore Hetty's and the WP Duet's, but they do have some distinct look to them as well. The Washer Tub is not slanted and the Drum in the Dryer is quite similar to their Regular Dryer Drums, with the Curved Fins that GE uses.

Their Model Numbers and the listed Price there are:

Washer Model #WCVH6260F $899.88
Electric Dryer Model #DCVH515EF $699.95
Gas Dryer Model #DCVH515GF $749.95

They are listed on the Info Sheet I wrote the Prices on as:Contractor/Independent Retailers Prices. The Info Sheet doesn't mention anything about if either Unit is "B-D" or "D-D" operating.

They are also available in White and Graphite Colors. I personally like the looks of the Graphite, even though I've only seen that Color on the Info Sheet, the Matched Set that this place had were in the White, which really isn't that bad looking to me, I'm just wanting to add some Color back into any future Appliances that I'm able to later on look into possible buying, even naturally if they might be 2nd Hand/Vintage Collectibles.

I've also asked GE why they didn't use a Stainless Steel Interior in their new Dryers, when they have the Stainless Steel Interior in some of their Regular Dryer Drums. I've not had any reply back from them as of yet but I will let everyone know, when I do receive an answer.

Peace and Happy Holiday Cheers and Fun-Times with GE Front-Load Washer and Dryer "Daze," Steve
