Did anyone notice the other videos that they had on Youtube about the level marker in the washbasket and the one for the weights on the lid? This washer is very cool. I love the hole pattern in the washbasket and they also have a vid showing the different agitators for the line. I almost thought that the washer was made here in the USA and exported to Mexico. The dryer looks to be American made. One thing that I think Whirlpool should do is put a brake in to stop the washbasket from moving during wash. It kinda reminds me of the WCI machines with the Double Scrub, Extra Surging, indexing washbasket that kinda kills wash action in my opinion. The other thing I did notice is the fact that the washer uses water and plenty of it.
I will say one thing though...after looking at the knobs in the store on the US machines, I dont care for them. If one has wet hands, good luck in selecting a cycle because they will slip since there really isnt a grip on them. Dry hands no issue though. The other thing I thought about is what if someone has hand issues lke arthritis or something. To me those knobs dont seem right, but thats me. But other than that I would like to see those here in North America. USA built though. |

I agree about the knobs.
I hate them. They don't feel sturdy at all. I think something as simple as the control knobs should at least convey a feeling of quality. Furthermore, the last time I looked into a Whirlpool dryer, the door felt so thin, hollow, and tinnie. Felt like I could of crinkled it up like a beer can. Malcolm |
