All I can say is that they sure are pushing it. They have an ad on TV Land about 10 times every evening. | ||

This is a repeat. Look at thread "New Kenmore Elite front-load". | ||

It's got to be a re badged LG. My LG does that on the tub clean cycle. I have a MOL LG. I like how the demonstrate with one article of clothing. A whole load couldn't slap around like that. | ||

Ya know we're all a bunch of fuss-budgets when it comes to modern washers. Jimm that may not have been a fair directioin regarding your friend and the new washer. Many of us have learned to adjust and have new products work very well for us. And Mike, I agree with you, I think they're great looking machines. And thanks for hitting the nail on the head, I've been wracking my brain for weeks trying to figure out what washer these new Kenmores remind me of. And it IS the Wascomats.

I think... where not worried about the rolling or tumbling movements and there cleaningpower, but more about the 'swinging' and the stepped tumbles where the motor has to cope with sudden speed and direction changes... I will not even talk about the bearings... xD | ||

This machine is nothing but crap that monkeys choose to buy. I refuse to associate this machine with ANY Wascomat. These machines are not even in the same class! It's just like me saying that the Whirlpool Calypso is built as good as a vintage Maytag. | ||

I for one will never buy a LG product again. I think sears is cutting their own throat by doing this. But I'm sure these decisions come from higher management, like all other poor decision making processes that are made. This is a perfect example as to why we are in the sad state of affairs we are in. Peter | ||

What we need is more water to wash clothes with in FL machines, not more motion! | ||

Do we know that Sears declined WP, or did WP decline Sears? No doubt whatever, it's about money. alr2903 | ||

My only hope that if they have problems with these LG machines, the general public does not associate it with Whirlpool. The general public seems to assume everything Kenmore is made by Whirlpool! Most people do not understand Sears vendor coding: A Whirlpool made Kenmore Laundry product prefix is 110. --------- ! Unfortunately I have heard Sears employeees for lack of knowledge or maybe just to close a sale will udder the tried and true "W" word that people feel comfortable and has a history. This was also true back in the early 90's when GE started using the RCA name on their major appliances leaving consumers to possibly associate it as being of the same RCA Whirlpool type product the consumer may have had experience with in the past. | ||

"Invisible Touchscreens" While I am mostly fascinated by these new-fangled high tech appliances, it should be noted these are not accessible to blind and low vision consumers. See link below.--Laundry Shark CLICK HERE TO GO TO laundryshark's LINK | ||

I hope their technology pans out for them....
...personally, after hearing the stories of many people here and local friends, I'm leery of the USA front loaders as a whole. Too many stories like the LG nightmare thread, too many wax motors, too many bearings, too many failed spins and motherboards. To be fair, I've never heard these stories from Speed Queen or Miele owners. | ||

American FL...
I to am very leery of the quality of new American FL's. I bought a Whirlpool Duet anyways. Only thing that I REALLY wish it had was the Digital time remaining screen. So when the CCU does go (which I'm sure it will eventually), I could see the F code and diagnose it myself. Unfortunately, if any problem occurs, I'm not going to know what it is and have to call in a tech. Aaron | ||
