Thanks, Appnut! OK, that explains that. I thought maybe they were pulling an 'Amana' on me! I was all set to order a FL washer from them a few years back and it never arrived; found out they had decided to pull the washer from the market for some reason or other.... I have "new washer fever" and have been very tempted to get the new Frigidaire FL'ers, but I'd like to see the new GE's first. Decided against the new MaySung (too spendy and I'm a little concerned about the future of Maytag). And there's always the Duet to opt for.... No Sears store near me, so the Hettie's are out of the question. |

Thanks Louis for posting the pictures. They look like really nice machines. It will be so interesting to see how they go over and what members think of them when they see them. Terry |

They look a lot like LG's. Could that be the new styling trend, or are they making all the new front loaders? |

One thing I dont understand. If repair service reps say that "All I repair are WP" meaning the majority of all machines seen are WP... how can (s)he be sure they are bad when let's say the majority of machines in the US are Whirl-Mores... and let's assume Sears fixes most of the their own. If more of brand X are sold and 5% need repairs, and some brand Y are sold and 5% need repairs... which one will the rep see more of? Brand X. So how can (s)he jump to the conclusion and say Brand X is heinous? They can comment on the engineering and such, but without knowing exactly how many are made....... Also, If the rep is "Factory certified" and gets business from (or for) only a limited number of brands is he seeing the whole story? Methinks repair reps' advice should be taken with a grain of salt. |

I just spoke to my GE rep at Home Depot,Jennifer. She told me that the new GE front loaders will be available around December 1st.Their (GE) reasoning is that they want to be sure there are plenty available in stock at all the dealerships who will be carrying them.they are in our warehouses but will not be released untill further notice.They don't even come up in the system yet.

I am curious as to who is making them for GE. I saw one post perhaps somewhere in China? If anyone knows, please post. If they turn out to be a quality machine, they could really re-align the pricing for the deluxe front loaders. |

The washer interior,dispenser and boot are so similar to the Duet/HE4t/Ensemble and Bauchnecht but GE reps sware they (the new front loading sets) are absolutely made in China by a firm owned and operated by GE.They wouldn't give me any names but I am sure once they roll out that one of us is going to grab one to dysect and find out the real truth about this mystery.

I believe the manufacturer for these machines is "Little Swan" a Chinese concern. |

I did a little research on Google and looked under Little Swan washers in China and only found smaller FL washers and TL that had seperate spinners. I will try to do some further research and see if I can pull up one of these big babies. It's gota be somewhere. I still think LG because GE is in with LG but we will see. Peter |
