Yes, Joe, I think this GE looks far more flexible than most of the other brands out there now. If their Deep Wash switch can get a full tub of tap-hot water, I'd be willing to try it. I wonder how long this model will survive once the Elux deal gets finished? Get one now before they're gone!
Whirlpool had to do some brand and product restructuring when they acquired Maytag. For one, KitchenAid lost it's laundry line completely to ensure fairer competition among all brands. I'm sure there were other tweaks they had to make, but eventually the deal was done. No doubt it will be the same for GE/Elux as well. The smell of money isn't imaginary, there's always power and influence that greases the wheels of capitalism, usually quite liberally.
