Where Did HE Washers Get Thier Names?

I don't mean to insult you but you posted that twice.

I thought Calypso was from the John Denver song of the same name, based on Jacque Cousteau's research ship - "No, Calypso, you know the repairman, you tangle my clothes and eat up all my socks"

Adora the Exploradora?

If I've seen it correctly, "Adora" is a line of GE appliances sold specifically at Home Depot stores--not just a washing machine...

And maybe Whirlpool used a different campaign in Germany than they did in the U. S., because they never used calypso music to advertise the Calypso washer when it first came out, I seem to remember there was one magazine ad where this bizarre-looking woman dressed in silver (maybe representing showers of water going through all your wash?) appeared against a black background (maybe a symbol of dazzling clean?) about the time the Calypso was introduced.

BTW, how about the LG "Tromm" FL washer and dryer? Isn't "tromm" German for "drum?"

That's what I wonder.

We don't have TL Calypso washers

I remember, that I once saw a comercial on You tube with steeldrum music, but who cares I don't find it anyway.

Tromm reminds in Drum, but the german word is "Trommel"
