Jerome, seems you need to abandon your board user name.  GELaundry4ever doesn't match with your ranting and disparagement.

Can Robert delete <span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Post# 1230147 , Reply# 136   4/30/2025 at 6:54 pm</span></span></span> and subsequent reply <span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Post# 1230152 , Reply# 137   4/30/2025 at 8:14pm </span></span></span>? 

 

 

Can forum users report the posts in question so Robert is aware? 

 

 

Can forum users Email Robert so he knows to look at the posts in question?

 

 

My concern is that some unhinged person or online troll could take those comments seriously.

 

 

Everyone please remember that these forums are open the public and are family orientated in nature. 

 

 

Thank You

I completely agree.

my username

I still like my username, especially pertaining to the older filter-flos. What GE did after that was a complete disrespect to the laundry industry. Chet, I heard the machines were farmed out to China. Today's GE isn't the same at all. even on their newest platform on the deep clean agitation, the wash action is still weak to power out any ground-in dirt. Whirlpool had it down to a science. GE was just a boring remix of them.

Reply# 140 ... there are methods available to do that.  You're not finding them?

 

[Chetlaham]

Private message me Robert's Email if you've got it.

Okay it's high-time to get this topic back on track!

Here...!

My grandmother's washing machine..., a General Electric with a left-opening lid:

I thought it was the coolest thing, right down to being briefly-disappointed by seeing most others having toggle switches, push-buttons, although still a few knobs, but a back-opening lid...

Got over it, and learned that it was a K Mart-sold model, of which years later I saw a discarded o e with a matching dryer, maybe higher-up, large capacity models...

Love, or at least like both, really...

GE production

I heard that GE's production line for their washers are notorious for leaking oil, causing the belt to squeak during operation. I have never seen a left opening lid GE FYI.

GE’s model Ts are still better than any modern washer

GE’s model Ts are still better than any modern washer

Still, Speed Queen Classic and Whirlpool LEAP are better than any of them.

 

[maytaglover68]

Isn’t the LEAP a direct drive?

I disagree, a CAE2795FQ will outclean a model T and can sense a load imbalance reducing the probability of the tub slamming into the cabinet.

I wouldn't mind using a commercial grade VMW for a few months or a year, a model T I just wouldn't touch.

 

[maytaglover68]

I personally like model Ts

 

[Chetlaham]

Glad you like them, I personally despise model Ts. One of the worst washer platforms ever created.

 

[whirlpool862]

I hate Model-Ts too, as well as their replacement, which was the HydroWave.
