Yes Seamus they are also dropping "the appliance of science" on the Zanussi brand which they had resurrected from years before. I guess someone somewhere has to keep themselves employed dreaming up ideas of branding and changing it every few years to keep us on our toes. Look at what Indesit are doing. I'm sure at some point it all goes full circle. Steve |

The dishwasher seems to be made by Maytag. It's exactly like a Maytag tall tub, except the racks are dark grey. That's the Icon model that I saw here in Canada. Serge |

So what the hell's going on here? That Electrolux | Icon dishwasher is identical in every way to Maytag's current system. Did Whirlpool sell off the tooling??? What's with this "surge" washing they're talking about? What'd they do to the Maytag? This can mean a few things: Whirlpool sold off the Maytag Jackson tooling to big E. Big E is now using the Maytag system, with a few mods, perhaps increased reliability??? CLICK HERE TO GO TO johnb300m's LINK |

Has anybody noticed that Electrolux is using the "Bewitched" theme song as a backround to their television adverts? |

The Electrolux Icon dishwashers are being sourced from the Maytag/Jenn Air factory. Not sure why, perhaps the Frigidaire USA plant is only producing plastic-tub machines and they haven't modified a European-built model to U.S. standards? Surge Washing might be a similar phase like that on Whirlpool dishwashers - during the main wash, the circulation pump is cycled on and off to blast away soils. |

We still don't know what brand of vacuum cleaner Mrs. Gladys Kravitz owned. ;) |

Well I checked on the bottom and it just has patent numbers and made in USA on the bottom. Now the side kick which is a motorized small unit for furniture has made in China on the bottom. Nothing about Aerus anywhere. Jon |
