Did anyone see it? I was away from the computer all day. Where's Bruce Lucenta when you need him... |

I am going to take a guess from seeing his new profile location description and say he is on vacation in Italy currently.
Interesting WP Combo though. I do wonder how they adapted it to Wash-N-Wear. Everybody knows how effective the cool down in a BD TL Whirlpool is and I cannot expect anything but the best in perm press from WP. Any information on that? |

Questin: Would Whirlpool's Filter Stream continuous spray action (recirculating existing water) be feasible in today's HE FL's? |

Hate to be picky - but the Speed Queen combo spins 10 rpm faster than a Duomatic. 515rpm vs 505. |

I don't know if Duomatics were made in the UK at all. Chestermikeuk has a Gyramatic, and somebody else has an LTA, which appears to be a Mk2 27" Duomatic in all but name, but the old 36" Duomatics seem not to exist in the UK... |

Whirlpool's invention of the Filter Stream was the genesis of what was to become the industry standard in Front Load Washing: Very low water level in the tub resulting in the high drop of laundry from ceiling to floor, constant bombardment of the laundry with jetted streams of water. When the LG turbo wash--a.k.a., Filter Stream--arrived, I could not believe how like the Whirlpool Combo it washed. A Delight to watch, cleans like the proverbial whistle, although I don't know how clean that whistle is if yer chewing' tobaccy.
Big kick out of the ad saying you could wash rinse and dry without having to stand around and watch, while the cute little wiener dog is indeed eagerly and happily watching, just like us. |
