I would like to know who is the real manufacturer of the machines pictured below because I've seen this machine with different brands on them (like the GE logo).

I'd rather have high-tech gadgets separate from appliances, especially when dealing with moisture and humidity. I'm sure agiflow would agree with me.
I mean it is proven that electronics can be built to last and they generally are but not in our appliances lately. It's all where they're being sourced from and quality control issues

I can't stand the stupid touch screens and excessive fancy digital controls. I just want my dog on laundry done! What the heck is wrong with manufacturers?
 
Haier manufactures all of the Encore machines distributed by Laundrylux. The also have a new larger commercial line under the brand Hero, Encore, and Unity.
They are all soft mount 300g machines.
What is their wash action like? I don't think that these toy electronic motors could turn over a big load as well as a real motor and a transmission.
 
I fetched that WL26CW1 (serial Sept 2007, assembly in Ohio USA) from Kirk Rivas in April 2021. It had both a bad display board and bad motor board (not sending power to the dispenser flush solenoids). Bad suspension rods. The tub outlet port was clogged with lint and debris accumulated on paper clips, coins, and other objects caught by the pump trap. General clean-up as expected. Kirk cut the latch tab off the lid to trick the lock (there are non-destructive ways to do that), I found a nice used lid via the auction/sale site. I also changed the inlet solenoid assembly and pump for good measure (kept the originals as spares). It's one of my current four in-use machines with another AquaSmart, IWL12, and Neptune TL.

To me it's not as good as with a transmission but the customers love them. They are quiet. Have two upcharge buttons so allot of my customers are paying $5.50 for the longer wash sand extra rinse. So far so good.

How does it sound during agitation? And I completely agree with you about the real motor and transmission and enough water too.
