I am sick to death of hearing so many bash these machines for the simple fact that NONE of you, with the exception of a few have any experience with them or actually purchased them.
I know of two folks on here who have actually purchased these machines, one is a store owner and the other is a personal friend. Both did not like the machine and both said that it doesn't clean well. That having been said, verified reviews form the Alliance website show purchasers extremely HAPPY with their new washers. One of the three negative reviews on the TR5 is from my friend. Now like I have said, to each his own, however Alliance has verified by way of Serial Number that these machines are actually owned by customers and not influenced by anyone's opinion on this site about these machines.
So are all these folks ignorant? What gives any of you the right to think or say that? An over 90% approval rating on all three models purchased by consumers speaks volumes.
CR and Cnet rated past SQ models poorly as well, so I discount their findings, however folks who spent their hard earned money on these expensive washers seem to be very happy with THEIR purchase. While the majority on this site seem to predict the demise of Alliance in one way or the other, or spend their time making youtube videos on why not to buy a machine they themselves DO NOT own, I choose to look at the majority of reviews by ACTUAL OWNERS and not a group of people who do not have any personal experience with the product.
It is just a dam washer for Pete's sake, a piece of equipment, I am a washer fan just like the rest, however the out cry and damnation of an American company that employs AMERICANS is really getting old. I do not like change and I too was hesitant about this new design, but the majority of owner reviews thus far says otherwise. This may or may change, I don't know, and I don't care. This site has become less and less enjoyable everyday. Some folks are using it as a personal ego booster. "See folks I was right......yada yada yada."
Advice, collecting, congratulatory wishes on new purchases are a thing of the past and it is too bad. I am an intelligent man and I can make my own decisions with the "put em out of business" mentality. I've enjoyed this site for many years, however it's become a BASH this or BASH that product website where everyone jumps on the band wagon without having any vested interest.

consumer reports also said the dependable care maytags were poor washers
