The obvious question is: why did you buy some then? |

I bought them because they looked nice and I figured my previous bad experiences were just bad luck...well, just as every GM product I ever owned was bad luck, so it seems is every Tag!!!LOL |

Reply #7, the SQ looks like fun. It might be time to just buy a new WP made 29 inch dryer without all the bells and whistles. The Whirly's behave like what most of us are accustomed to. |

I was thinking of your flooring layout, and the vibration/walking issues of the Maytag TL......
in retrospect, a 1-18 has a similar suspension setup...... versus the 3 rod setup of your previous Kenmore belt drive.... my first Neptunes were installed in the kitchen on a wood floor....super quiet and stable.... but there always was something about that 3000 series motor winding up on final spin like a jet!....a feature I wished they kept.... well, its settled, next time your here, take a set of mine home and try them out..... |

Hi Hans and Donald, you know I've still got a 72 lady Kenmore that's very meant here with your name on it that will match the dryer you have now, whatever you do don't get rid of the 72 lady Kenmore dryer I can easily rebuild that for you and send this washer along as well.
Once you've had a lady Kenmore and a 29 inch whirlpool built dryer a Maytag set doesn't come close nor does anything else really.
The new Neptunes would be interesting the washers are pretty decent the dryer so so little bit better than the MT dryer that you have now.
Even though I have six sets of May tags in the museum none of them would ever make it to my daily laundry in my home, if I had to use a Helical Drive Maytag washer as my only machine I would not be in the appliance collecting business it's just to average at best.
So either you guys get up here and get this Kenmore washer and bring that dryer along or get Bob O to bring them up here and I can send them back with some good Kenmore's. |
