Trip to Home Depot and Lowes..Have questions:

[exploder321]

Alright
Have questions:
Are these the chineese ge's?
I thought F&P did not have an agitator?

Also the drawers stink in the samsung and bosch, compared to the Fridigaire pedestal i have...

Posting a few pics of my trip:

 

[exploder321]

Here's the cherry red LG's

 

[exploder321]

Here is the LG you can either have the controls at the top or bottem your choice.. Very expensive though, like $1500...

 

[exploder321]

Here's a whirlpool cabrio (i was shocked to see that the lid was glass):

Inside the cabrio:

Here's the bosch.. I am only 5'5 and i can't see the controls with out standing on my tip toes:

 

[exploder321]

Here's a maytag epic, the pedestal is $160, not the machiene:

 

[exploder321]

Here's the samsung silver care washer, you also get a free samsung lcd tv with this one!

 

[exploder321]

Here's samsungs fridge, i much prefer the Kitchen aids my self (will never have a top freezer again, i hate it)

 

[exploder321]

Frigidaire has changed the interior on there higer end units and is using this grey speckled plastic.. Nice... Won't show stains

 

[appnut]

Yes, those are the chineese-made GEs

Yes, F&P washers have agitators. There's also a version of the Cabrio with an agitator.

 

[exploder321]

The first Bosch dishwasher i have actually liked.. Good price as well

 

[exploder321]

Inside the bosch:

Last but not least the Fisher and Paykel Dryer i love:

 

[appnut]

Waht's different about this Bosch DW model that you finally like a Bosch?

 

[exploder321]

Thanks Bob..
Did not relize that fisher and paykel has an agitator...

I only saw cabrios with the wash plates..

Used to really like those GE's, but now, not sure.. I love my frigidaire alot

 

[exploder321]

I dunno....It's the controls, they seem simpler to me... .. The lower model i don't like as it's controls seem confusing to me... I also like this one in black.. The higher end ones seem a bit more confusing as well..

 

[westytoploader]

There's the Intuitive dryer!!!!!

 

[frigilux]

Thanks for all the pics! Did they freak when you were walking around taking pictures of everything? Sometimes they get weirded out when cameras become involved.

I own the Cabrio, and absolutely love it. I think that the glass lid is a nice touch, and most of the machines parts are Fisher&Paykel.

<blockquote>There's the Intuitive dryer!!!!!</blockquote>
And it's not in my utility room, damnit! But the console color still wouldn't be a perfect match to my IWL12, so I suppose that's for the best.

 

[exploder321]

Nope.. I have a trick for that...

I go ask if i can take pictures because i am remodling and want a visual of what they look like..

Or i just play dumb, have a fake conversation on the cell phone and click away...

In this case, no one was around either place and no one said a word...

 

[oxydolfan1]

I'm still considering the Chinese GE's, but there is precious little written about them, critical-review wise...

I like the Epic but that control panel is too dizzy, has too much going on up there....

Isn't it all dizzying and wonderful?

 

[exploder321]

Yea it is a bit dizzying....

Thats why i like my frigie... its very easy to understand and has tons of flexablitity

 

[vintagesearch]

the cabrio...
well i see the commercial every night for the cabrio, anyways i saw some video on the cabrio can someone explain how clothes come out clean if theres only half the amount of water i mean maybe i like the "traditional" fill up with water.I dont get how anything would come out clean with half the water? im thinking it would come out with residue maybe im wrong and shouldn't judge by the look of it but i saw a review on eopinions on the cabrio and 2 people said it "leaves the clothes with residue even when using he soaps" so i mean anyone own one (im sure someone does lol) explain it to me please. i mean you would think i would understand new tech stuff becuase im young but still maybe im locked mentally in another time frame lol! give me a whirlpool like my grandma that fills up with water how you want it to and the agitator goes around and im good. maybe im just a basic person. anyone can relate out there?

 

[whirlcool]

The GE's have been out on the market for almost a year and you are right, not much has been said about them. I have seen a few posts about long wash times on that "other" washer website. But that's about all. Is the jury still out on these machines?

 

[jonv112]

I went to Sears Home today and played with the blue LG Steam Washer a bit. It was plugged in, and our salesman didn't mind me at all trying out the spin cycle. I guess if you bought something there before they don't really mind what you do!

 

[johnb300m]

crap, crap and more crap

yeah, don't let those fancy high end Frigidaire dishwashers fool you. they're still trash, crap, garbage, etc.

 

[bobbyd32l]

I have a very good video of the Cabrio working, that is currently uploading to google video... it will be posted in the morning when its finished up loading... its a very large file (340mb 4 minutes long) and its taking longer then I expected.

The Cabrio/Oasis uses "reverse rollover" to get the clothes clean. You will understand when you see the video. And I can attest to how clean the clothes come out when the machine is finished. No residue left on my clothes, just clean and fresh smelling!
