 No experience with this washer. But it's a WCI product, which is not exactly a good sign.
I've had experience with the WCI Frigidaire design. It did not impress me with its washing ability, although I got by OK. (It helps that my laundry demands are mostly freshening, rather than dealing with really dirty clothes.) | ||

Nothing special Just the Gibson version of the WCI Franklin design, also sold under the Kelvinator and Hamilton names, in addition to several store brands (Western Auto, etc.) | ||

Dreaded "Angel Wing" agitator. Splashed a lot and did next to nothing, especially with a big load. | ||

80s Gibson W&Ds I can't think of a worse washer in modern times, and the dryer almost makes the washer look good, I remember installing a new Gibson dryer and when we pushed the start button the entire dryer shimmed across the laundry room, our customer replaced that dryer in less than two years with a TOL WP LHE9800, she couldn't believe how good a dryer could be after that Gibson.

I'm glad I asked, well I guess that machine was not the one to collect!!!! LOL. Thanks for all the input though. I wondered from time to time which brand would be considered "dreaded" and now I know!! "Price Is Right" must have had an exclusive on the brand for a while! LOL. Thanks, Barry | ||
