I like the rubber booties on that agitator to prevent damages when washing sneaker/tennis shoes!

shafted

Why do Americans get shafted on everything?
We get the crappy washers.
We get the crappy cars.

None of our stuff looks as cool and probably doesn't perform as well as anything sold in Europe or elsewhere.

Why? Why is this?
Our own American companies make this cool stuff, and ship it out, never to sell it here. Why?
Ford in Europe and the U.K. is VERY popular and they have stylish, reliable cars.
That Brazilian GE washer looks amazing. If you were to compare it to a domestic American GE washer, you would laugh your ass off. It's crap.

I'm sick of being shafted with shit goods. Even the stuff foreign companies sell in the U.S. is inferior to the stuff they make at home.

WHY!!!!!?????

I ask the same question about why does everything cost twice the price in the UK as it does in the US? Quick example, a Bose Waveradio in the UK is £500.00, I find it on US website for £250.00? Really empathise with you mate. You feel that you are shafted and I live in Rip Off Britain. Makes me V V ANGRY

 

[tolivac]

Love the sure,powerful,LONG strokes of the agitator in the GE machine-they need to sell those here!!Beats the DD short strokers every time!

~I ask the same question about why does everything cost twice the price in the UK as it does in the US?

Quality?

VAT?
Some European countries have a value-added tax. Basically in the USA the government takes about 1/3 of our pay off the top of what is earned [GROSS funds]as income taxes....to fund unpopular/unwanted wars and feed those that don't want to work, but I digress. We are left with NET funds.

My understanding is that income taxes in effect are built in to the prices (on the retail level)in many European countries.

My Greek realtives came to America and while were visiting bought a German washing machine and shipped it back to Greece. Of course it was *cough* "lightly used" for duty and fee purposes. They paid a NET price with GROSS wages, which made shippings costs appear minimal and the machine was still a great bargain to them.

With a VAT system all aspects of the cash economy appear to be taxed. Here other than a small sales tax (usually leadd than 10%)on a state or local level, the underground cash economy doesn't pay taxes. This attracts many skilled blue-collar tradesmen to this country.

It is diffcult to compare prices accurately across countries with very different tax and social structures.

There are price variatiosn even within this country itself. In my area housing and energy and taxes are high but in Gasget Gary's area those things are relativley less expesnive and food and clothing cost more. (inland land-locked location with no port....all is by truck. [lorry/lorrie (sp)?] In my area wages and job-opportunities are greater as well. Realtive purchasing power ("disposable income")is not always so easy to measure.

Pardon the typographcial errors, please. I'm not (completely) illiterate, just a bad and impatient proof-reader!

VAT= Value-added tax.

IGNIS! The pix-- in the pink section/forum

In this thread we see:

Post# 237453-9/20/2007-06:37 ||| dj-gabriele (Bologna (ITALY))

Diomede, have a look at this, the USA actually have something like that! Staber produces a washer that is just like you IGNIS , have a look at their website! I think that it's the only firm that still has this kind of washing machine.
Thw drum rotates left and righ and is loaded from the top, opposed to the "usual" top loaders we see around in Europe. Have a look!
Anyway I believe that at STABER they're all thieves, the least expensive model costs around 1,300 dollars! That's 1,000 euros for a washer I can buy for 350 euros in any store!

Perhaps as a specialty item, this is not a fair comparison!

 

[dj-gabriele]

Toggleswitch: around 30% of all washers in Italy are top loader horizontal axis, and they outperform that machines by far and cost much less!
The most expensive TLHA washer we have in Italy is Miele W257F and is around 1100 euros, it's full featured and has double spin speed than the Staber, A+ energy, A washing, A spinning, using inbuilt heater it uses 0,93 KWh and only 47 litres of water. Miele is expensive (too much if you ask me) but is cheaper if you compare characteristics.
If you get upper end Italian made machine, Smeg STL120, it costs around 620 euros, and has the same characteristics as the Miele, the only difference it spins at 1200 rpm istead of 1300. Quite a bargain, eh?
Even a washer dryer combo (still top loading), San Giorgio Ghiblia SGLA 7120, is cheaper being "only" 790 euros!
You can get all the infos on www.kelkoo.it

But why did you post this on another thread?

TO johnb300m

I MUST desagree with you... i think exatelly the opposit...
USA have the bestest washers of the world. The most effiient, most reliable, and a lot more.... the brazilian washers only have design....they are cute, and just it! would you like an washer that takes 1 and a half hour to wash a load of clothes? but the avarege cycle has this duration! ok, i know that here in brazil the problem isn't the washers, but the quality of our soap, that only clean the clothes if they stay on soak for some time! besides, the brazilian washers brokes so easily and costs a lot to repair!
to finish, the don't have entrance to hot water and most of them only washs with cold wather, but it is commun here in brazil, couse we aren't used to use hot water... some washers (the electrolux shown in the pic above is one of this) have an internal heather that heats it's own water, but it takes too much energy and the few people that have washers with heating system don't use it!

ah, i can't forget to mention that here in brazil almost no one have dryer, so almost everybody line dryes the clothes and iron it after...

 

[toggleswitch]

But why did you post this on another thread?

Simply to show that a simialr machine in Europe costs less than here. The opposite point was being made as well.

 

[dj-gabriele]

Oh well, then I too must say that in Italy you can't find a dryer for less than 450 euros, when in UK they start at 250 euros, mean it, I already converted from pound sterling!
I think that every nation has its high and low prices for everything.

Mr. Bestcleaning washer, how come none of your Youtube videos have sound? I'd love to know how these washers sound.
