Of course if you don't use it then you think, damn, wasted my money

Ok bro

Call me when your commercial may tag shorts and you have 25 gallons of water sitting in a big metal box that you have to bucket out yourself

If it was, on average, a good deal for the consumer, the provider would be losing money.

Some companies take care of their customers?

You're overthinking this so much

If their extended warranty is priced below the clearing rate, then it's a good deal for me. I highly doubt any company is willing to take a loss on extended warranties in order to buy positive brand image. Positive brand image is targeted by making the default warranty longer.

priced below the clearing rate ?

As in, their payouts exceed their revenues from the extended warranties. Would never happen.

Obviously, but believe me when I say that big stores like depot or lowes arent making much on appliance sales

They take care of you pretty damn well when you purchase appliances there

And the warranty isn't a corporate stupid tax

And honestly, that's pretty damn rude

Yes, I was planning to buy at Home Depot or Lowes, unless it's not offered like a Speed Queen.

I'd buy at lowes because they have free delivery/cheap haulaway of old appliances

Plus they'll price match

You probably just missed the big labor day sale though

No, it's good through Sept-12.

Oh good deal

Yeah that'll be the best sale until the next 4th of July I believe

Plus I need one, the place I'm moving to doesn't have a washer/dryer and the one's I'm using now aren't mine.

What do you think about GE? They sold the company to Haier (Chinese), but they're still make in Kentucky.

GE is solid. Sales are heavily down for them and I think their refrigerators have quite a few quality issues but overall I think their decent.

Buying appliances is seriously a lottery

I had people dish out 2k for fridges/washers and dryers and have them go bad within 2 months

Gross. Even with Whirlpool?

Yep

Go look at the lawsuits for every appliance brand due to icemaker issues

Every single appliance brand can't get it right

Why do the Japanese not make appliances?

Idk. Samsung and LG have only recently made their foray into appliances

And idk of any big japanese tech companies that could make appliance divisions

Honda makes lawnmowers, why not washing machines? Just turn the darn things upside-down and add a tub.

Hah. Yeah I suppose Honda could try. There just isn't a ton of money in appliances

I'd pay a premium for a Honda washer. I'd pay a premium for the Speed Queen if the government didn't ruin them.

Same, Speed Queens are solid. The older speed queens would last like 30 years

All the 2018 reviews for all washers are saying the water restrictions got tighter so they don't fill with enough water and the electric restrictions got tighter so they don't even turn your clothes hard enough to move them, they just jiggle a little.

Are there any brands comparable to Speed Queen? In that they offer a higher quality product that should be more reliable.

The HE washers by design are supposed to use less water. If they filled with more water they wouldn't do anything but float in the machine

HE washers wash your clothes the same way you wash your hands

They rub the clothes against each other and you can only do so when the tub isn't plum full
