So we went to Best Buy, Circuit City, & ended up at Lowes to get some caulk & noticed they have appliances. The gal was very helpful & she had Frigidaire, GE & Maytag front loaders. $1499 for Maytag was well over my needs & it looked the same size as the other 2. Both were stamped White Consolidated & the same model # inside. GE was $647 & Frigidaire was $699. Identical washers, different prices.
My washer is the 2001 addition, with a model # of WSHX208A1WW. 8 wash cycles, 4 temps, extra rinse.
Our basement has heater vents running overhead so stacking was out. The washer is up on a cement leveling stand that was constructed with the 1940 house. There is a drainage pipe between dryer & washer, so I didn't want a side opening dryer. Lowes had the "hamper door" dryers.
Free delivery, installation & old unit pickup & the best price, so we bought it. Delivered on Sunday morning & I was ready with the laundry that didn't dry & was pretty smelly. I shoved it all inside & there was still room! So we added the towels from the bathroom. Added 2 TBSP of Tide HE powder, set it on warm wash/cold rinse & away it went. I was amazed at the TV show in the laundry room. I sat on a chair in front of the glass window listening to the small amount of water used & the wash falling to the right, then to the left, then to the right, etc. Then it spins slightly when wash was over & runs water slightly before it stops and keeps some with the clothes for the rinse cycle.
The extra rinse cycle is good also for sensitive skin, so I leave it on ON. The most amazing thing is the FINAL SPIN!
The force & speed is incredible. The box of Tide HE danced on the top a bit. Then entire cycle the door is locked, a light tells you it is locked. When the cycle is over in 30 minutes, it turns off, signals it is done & unlocks the door.
Drying cycle was 7 minutes! That is how dry the clothes were after the final spin! Then I did my king size bedding; bedsack & sheets & pillowcases were one load & 2 king size pillows & my twin size warming blanket was the other. I didn't even separate whites from darks in my haste & all came out beautiful in cold water!
Today I was bored & wanted to play with my toy of 4 days, so I did the carpets from around the house & even the car (all the rubber). Used cold wash & rinse, 2 TBSP of Tide HE & all were dry enough to put on the floor & let winter's heat dry them.
I AM SO HAPPY WITH MY TOYS!!! How many woman enjoy laundry day??? How many woman ask friends to bring their laundry over??? I love to show it off (get me commercial time, GE)
ALSO I have enough detergent that using no more than 2 TBSP a load will last a YEAR!
JUST GOT MY WATER & SEWER BILL FOR THE QUARTER. Sewer bill normally $58/quarter, now $21. Water Bill normally $35-28/quarter now $13! DO THE DANCE OF JOY!!!!! That is proof of the savings from the efficiency if the GE washer.
