What did you think of their design versus GE and Whirlpool? Who's design do you think was way ahead of their time?The Maytag's a helical drive 1984 model.
Two belts underneath the base - main one, and a pump belt.

Well, that old Maytag is still running flawlessly after all these decades, no problems at all.What did you think of their design versus GE and Whirlpool? Who's design do you think was way ahead of their time?
I've heard the filter-flo platform was outdated and then they went to the model T. from a design standpoint, who's was the most advanced technologically in your opinion?Well, that old Maytag is still running flawlessly after all these decades, no problems at all.
The DD Kenmore is also a tough one, so from a reliability stand, I'd say both machines would outlast me.
Ge's stuff seems to have trans issues and leaks.
I'm not an expert on the technology aspect, basically I'm more interested in reliability and performance.I've heard the filter-flo platform was outdated and then they went to the model T. from a design standpoint, who's was the most advanced technologically in your opinion?

I've only been exposed to the orbital ones.The Maytag's a helical drive 1984 model. (180 degree agitation?)

That may explain Whirlpool's aggressive agitation removing tough, ground in dirt better than GE did. In theory.It would be interesting to know when Whirlpool actually started on the LEAP design. I think there is a post that John combo52 said those machines were already in the works by the early 70s ?, which makes me think that was why there were some early 70s belt drives with plastic outer tubs....real world testing in the field maybe ?
It seems very plausible. So Whirlpool was already innovating at least a decade before the first direct drive was released. I know by the late '80s and early 90s consumer reports were consistently rating Whirlpool made DD top loaders at the top of the ratings.
