Oh my Gd
That weirdly shaped round door - I'm not sure I'm loving that.
That weirdly shaped round door - I'm not sure I'm loving that.
Anyone know if the inner door is plastic or glass on the new models? Sometime in 2018, WP switched to plastic inner doors on their previous models. Just seemed really cheap to me and I'd think it would get all scratched up.
Please note, the model Joe showed and has been discussed, is the BOL in the new series. What Pierre showed was the absolute BOL, WFW560 and Joe's is the WFW5620, which adds steam and bulk dispenser (part of the reason for the pull drawer).

Omg does anyone really need this?

Isn't the stereotype that my generation and younger spend all the time on their smartphones and that that is oh so horrible?
That makes use of that.
Leaving a note has no read-confirmation, does it?

Very disappointing!
A pair of the new 2019 Whirlpool's were on display at Lowe's. I am disgusted at their build quality. The window of both the washer and dryer are PLASTIC!! The inner latch feels really cheap and like it's going to break right away. The door along the bottom of the washer where the load and go and pump cleanout is is also made of flimsy plastic. These are super cheaply-built, throw away appliances that are NOT built to last more than a few years.
Super disappointing this is the quality an American company puts out. I'd love to "buy American" but these are absolute junk.

Opposition to Plastic
My personal opposition to plastic has softened over the years.
When I took my 2010 Whirlpool dishwasher out of its box I was kind of appalled. Not only about how light it was, but that it seemed the only metal part was the spray arm on the bottom of the tub (because that was a part the end-users would see!)
I'm exaggerating of course, but my point is that it's been a reliable machine despite being a featherweight and mostly plastic.

I wonder if the Maytag versions have a better build quality than the Whirlpool versions? I can say that my Maytag dishwasher from 2014 has a better build quality than my Whirlpool dishwasher from 2005 that died a few years ago.
Plastic Dryer Window
What was most shocking was the plastic dryer window. I can't imagine that lasting or looking good for very long.

Greg, David;
David, My 2010 Maytag Bravos 7.4 cu. ft. dryer has a plastic window. It's fine.
Greg, would those medical dispensing machines be Omni Cell, Pyxis, or Wavemark?

Thanks Mike...
But I can't see myself buying one of these.
Of the mass produced machines, LG appears to have the best build quality.

Who knows if this is the actual spray or not... but you can see some drizzle action in this video.

I like the look of
the maytags so much better. But unfortunately, I guess they decided to put a coin trap on the WP but not the Maytags??

Well Mark, you assessment is correct. And because of that, WP is my preference. Appearance isn't that important to me, functionality and performance is.

Here’s the Amana version, at my local Rona store ( Lowe’s Canada). Not a fan of the oversized round doors. Sideways, they look like giant toilet seats.

Hey Mike, just read your question about the med machines. At Vanderbilt we use Accudose. Had Pyxis at my old job before they changed out to the Cerner Medstation.
