Until you get to the very top of the line models, there is no porcelain on Whirlpool tops or lids. Having said that, the porcelain on the Maytags is nothing to write home about, I've seen many a lid rusted all around the edges and the top lip of the opening rusted because the porcelain is sooooo thin. I think another memeber had some issues with rust in the wash basket as well - also rather thin coats of porcelain on them. | ||

Kenmore elite top loaders have Porcelain on top, but a whole lot of plastic underneath. | ||

Greg- I had the tub rust issue with my LAT 206 after only one year. That was bad enough - but then on four separate occasions the replacement tub arrived in worse shape than the one I had in the first place. | ||

Maytag was
quite something. I remember their "compare and buy" display, where they had pictures and samples of the different components they used and those from other manufacturers...I was especially impressed by their drive belts and water hoses. You can fool people into buying a product because of the (formerly) valuable brand name once. But once is enough - you now have made an enemy for life. Someone who will tell all their friends and acquaintances in great detail that "Maytag" is no longer quality but... Actually, we don't know what it will become. Whirlpool might do something smart and use them as leverage to re-establish a reputation for quality in the US market. Now wouldn't that be something? | ||

careful John,
You are sooo right - but you wouldn't believe the mails I've got from some folks defending them as the last bastion of America...Funny, I have nothing but good to say about Frigidaire cause I like the Uni-, Multi-, even - möge die Götter uns beistehen - Rollermatics, but intellectually I know that today they are just another SOS part of an evil imperium. And lots of folks around here see Whirlpool through the filters of their wonderful machines from bygone eras. I was trying to be optimistic, sort of whistling in the dark. After all, evil Whirlpool may be - but they also know what happened to the US domestic car industry. Given a choice, Americans will pay more for higher quality once they have learned what defines it. Just look at the sales figures for Toyota versus GM... (Though I must say, GM is really beginning to improve their quality - my folk's new Malibu was only in the shop three times in the first nine months.) | ||
