I'm really starting to think that these SQ FL machines just aren't really suitable for household customers.
Between weird issues like Strictlybojack had due to certain sub-grade parts and ridiculous 1-3 month breaking in periods where the machine sounds like a broken piece of industrial machinery. How come no one ever hears about this sort of thing happening to a Whirlpool, LG or Electrolux? If this were an LG, would we be telling the person to wait a month or would we be telling them high tail it up to the store and demand a refund? I suspect the latter. I cannot recall hearing of any other FL machine that comes from the factory making all kinds of noises.
Despite what my account is named, I would call this unacceptable. If we say that 50 members here have these machines, we already know of TWO machines that came from the factory with problems, that is a defect rate of 4%. That is a clear lack of quality control, and I might add that I went extra high on my estimate of the amount of members with FL SQs.
