A place for random thoughts....

1) I'm not fond of the noises it makes.
2) I watched the same pair of shorts stay in the same postion on top the whole wash cycle.
3) The load unbalanced mid-way through. It made an awful thumping noise.
It tried to correct itself but couldn't so it stopped itself and made me rebalance the load.
4) I don't think the machine uses enough water to get the clothes moving and clean.
5) For $1000.00 a piece I was expecting it to work a lot better.

I went back to Lowes yesterday and the guy said to try it out again today. He said I have 30 days to decide if I want to keep it.

I'll try it again this afternoon. If I still hate it it's going back.

 

6) It takes an hour to wash a normal load of clothes.

 

Dang girl, what kind did you get so i will know what not to get?

 

this alone is a reason for it to go, IMO. :mrgreen:

 

It's a Whirlpool Cabrio. I wanted to go with a washer and dryer that doesn't take up as much space as my front loader Duet set did. Our Family is shrinking so I didn't think I needed anything that huge and heavy anymore. I was shopping for a top loader. It is supposed to save water and I understand that. This machine uses an eyedropper full to was a load of clothes. Call me old school, but I think a washing machine actually needs water to wash clothes. Anyone have any recommendations?

 

MAYTAG
I've had my maytag washer & dryer since ... 1997 and thank GOD I have never had any problems with it.
LOVE A maytag product.

 

I will be getting rid of my Bosch for the same reason. I just DO NOT feel like my clothes are getting clean. LOVE my dryer, and I know it will be hard to sell the washer by itself, but it has to go! I want a top load that fills with water and vigorously washes my clothes...not just that flip-flop thing!

This is the model GE that we have, and I like it. We also have the matching GE dryer. I could guess that the washer and dryer we replaced were original with the house and also GE products. So they were circa 1993, the dryer died in 2008 and the washer started leaking some kind of transmission looking fluid in 2009.

 

having a no caffeine day, this is no fun:cry:

 

Welcome to my life!

Lots of decaffeinated teas out there and I heavily partake of decaffeinated Diet Colas!

 

geez, don't think i could do it on a regular basis, i am so missing my am coffee now - how in the world did i get so dependent on caffeine?

 

My addiction to caffeine and alcohol led to a cancer scare, swore off all alcohol and have minimized caffeine ever since.

Doctor also said I should stop eating chocolate and I told him I would when I die!

 

God bless you! I don't know if I could do it.

 

i have to do it for a medical test (nothing bad) for the whole day:x

 

Good luck. I would be a zombie. I'm on about cup number 4 this morning.

I drink a lot of caffeine and it does not bother me as far as sleep, etc. My husband laughs at me because I can drink coffee and go right to sleep. Hope that doesn't change as I get older, LOL

 

My mom is like that too.. can have a big mug of coffee and then go to bed. Normally I try to not have any caffeine after I get home in the afternoon so that I can sleep at night.

 

I feel sorry for anyone (including my hubby, my dad, my brother) who has to work in this heat! I just went to the mailbox and about passed out!

 

Caffeine after around 1:00 will keep me up at night. I have even switched to half caffeine for my morning coffee. The older I get, the more sensitive to caffeine I am. This getting older sucks...and I'm not even 50 yet!! I get my coffee at Aversboro Coffee lots of mornings and one morning they got mine mixed up....I was climbing the walls that afternoon and I thought my heart would beat outta my chest!! :lol:

 

Caffeine enhances my award winning personality in the morning. Without it I would seem grouchy and disinterested. With it, well I'm still grouchy and disinterested, but much more alert.

 

My husband works outside as well,somehow it doesn't seem to bother him that much,I don't know how it can not! I used to work outside as well a few years ago but I would not want to do it these days.
I don't care what's in that mail box,I'm not going outside to check
