Next thing you know they'll be selling a pressure washer wand and a set of clips like they have at the carwash for your floormats... | ||

Is this GE TL washer going to have the Spin-Splode cycle? | ||

Not encouraging. I don't like the washplate. It looks quite shallow. Interesting how they changed the design of the tub though. I kind of like the control layout though, but it does look very LG'ish/Samsungish... Kind of makes me wonder if they just rebadged a Korean washer.. | ||

Steam assist in a top-loader? I wonder how that works? It makes sense in a front-loader, where clothes saturated with water and a potent detergent solution tumble through the steam; but in a top-loader?
The consoles for these new wash plate/impeller machines are all starting to look the same. Appears as though they're all coming from the same source, as others have pointed out. Gansky: How convenient that your Cabrio allows you to pull an entire wash load from the machine with one easy motion. I'll have to add that feature to my wish list along with spin-splode. The man in the photo looks like a proud fisherman showing off the biggest catch of the day, LOL. | ||

I wonder about that steam setting as well. Plus, wouldn't injecting steam into the relatively open tub of a top loader cause issues as the humidity will seep into to washer's cabinet? I suppose the steam is more of a glorified 'water heater: on' setting like on so many steam front loaders these days.

Bringing manufacturing jobs back to Apppliance Park? Are these built in the US, or are they Korean made LG's? You could make a washer with a tub the size of a rain barrell, what good is it, if the machine doesn't use any water?? Mike | ||

The picture of the whole load twisted together-reminds me of a Maytag Ad in one of my 1950's B&G magazines-"Whipped Wash" a picture in the ad shows a pile of tangled together clothes removed from a washer with that caption under the picture.For those days what washer could that have been that made the "Whipped Wash"? | ||

Guess if you don't have the strength-build a small crane or grapple into the washer! | ||

I've had the Cabrio, bought on CL, for about three weeks now and that's the first time the tangle happened. John is right, that was the entire load, save one t-shirt, pulled up with one hand. Saves time unloading. I put it directly into my WP EC dryer next to it with a window-door to see what happened. Within a minute, it was freed and tumbling nicely. Not knotted, just tangled. | ||

Comprehensive, but perhaps cluttered and too much for the average user? If I wasn't worried about long-term reliability I'd love a touchscreen model with a lot of built-in cycles plus the ability to access most/all settings and customize and save your own cycles. That way you'd have complete flexibility while retaining a clean, minimalist look.

When I first looked at that stain removal guide, I thought it said Tomato - Oily - Gross - Dirt. I busted out laughing, then I realized it said grass, not gross. I actually like the complicated look of it, but those complicated control panels scare me. I hope whoever buys these plugs them into a surge protector.

My G.E. Harmony is kinda similar but the wash plate on mine is more aggressive.When you set it on comforters it will fill up all the way and the plate stops and the baskets spins back and forth and then it will spin and draw water through it then stop and spin the other way drawing water through the clothes.When you wash normal clothes it alternates the plate will turn and the basket will lock and then it will switch out with the basket.It is a crazy washer but it can wash the hell out of your clothes bad.I can fill mine all the way up if I want to, or just let it do it's on thing most of the time I push the throw rugs cycle so it will fill up because I pack my washer. | ||

LG is the new name for Lucky Goldstar. That was the really junky TV and consumer electronics stuff at K-Mart. Maybe they will start taking quality "seriously" like Hyundai supposedly has done with their cars. | ||

I brought the LG home from (chromacolor) Jamie's last night. It needs a control board priced at $56.50 and I'll replace the hall-sensor (motor sensor) as well for another $15.90. The washer was built in 2002, the very first of the LG machines on the U.S. market. Other than the electronic issues, the machine otherwise is in really good shape, clean, etc.
We'll see... | ||
