"Apex has no competition", reads one ad, I recently saw...  A "wordless, "silent movie"-type of deal" today...  Wasn't one ad a "women hate to do wash", for something like that?

 

In-between them was Hotpoint & GE...

 

I may be mistaken, while my mind keeps reeling back past ads on washers & dryers, one after another, but what do y'all think?

That happens sometimes.  Occasionally we seem to have a 'Frigidaire week' or a 'GE week.'  When someone mentioned the phenomenon to Robert, I believe he said that the POD is random.

One on the horizon?

Perhaps it is a good omen. One of the most fun washers of all.

Yes I love my Apex, when I get to the point of bringing the collection down to just a few machines, the Apex will be in that group of a few.

That video is pre-fine tuning that machine, it is more responsive now that its been restored. I use it a few times a month at least and the wash cycle is one of the quietest machines (if not the quietest) in my collection. The only time it makes much noise is when it goes into spin as it throws the water out of the fiberglass basket and it hits the outer cabinet, there is no outer tub in this machine.

Thanks, Robert, for all the Apex vids you uploaded to YouTube.  I love this one, because at 1:30 you can watch the damp load roll over with no water in the tub! This astounding little feat occurs as the machine transitions from spin to rinse.👏🏁
