Went shopping today at all the places in town that sell washing machines, menards, hh gregg, sears, and lowes was the last stop.
We decided not to get any machine connected in any way shape or form with whirlpool. That didn't leave a lot of choices.
We decided we wanted a machine like the old school washers, using KISS, keep it simple stupid, GE was the only one with an agitator, ss tub, no locking lid, we get to set the water levels, NO AUTO LOAD SENSING.
There seem to be people who hate Wal-mart, Menards, Sears, HH Gregg and yes Lowes. So what? Sometimes I think there are a lot of haters in the world. It doesn't bother me, I shop at all the places. One of the reasons I like Lowes is FREE DELIVERY, SET UP, AND REMOVAL OF OLD UNITS. I have rental properties. It's nice to go to Lowes, buy what I need, pay for it and all my work is done. I have bought at all the other places, which means I have to do the work. No fun when doors have to come off ref to get it inside house and doors have to come off old ref too.
I look at it this way. Lowes doesn't make the washing machine no more than the rest of the places in town, so what's the big deal where I buy it?
We liked the GE at sears, they wanted $150 for a 4 year extended waranty. Went to lowes, same price for washer, $110 for a 4 year extended waranty.
Going to use defective whirlpool until we get refund. I'm sure Lowes and most other places will have Christmas specials if not Thanksgiving specials. Girl at Lowes said they have sold same washer for $404 in the past when it was on sale. I can wait. I'm cheap.
Well thanks for all the advice on the best of the worst.
Seems whirlpool has their fingers in many different washing machines. It's too bad, because I've been a life time whirlpool fan up to now.
