I avoided Maytag like the plague 4 years ago when purchasing a new
front loader. Went with LG and it was RF quiet. My thinking was that
LG is an electronic manufacturer, not a washer/dryer manufacturer. I
figured they'd know more about RFI issues than Maytag. I was right!
Recommended LG on this mailing list almost 3 years ago. Still happy
with LG.
Just bought a Samsung LCD/LED HDTV. Couldn't be happier. No RFI from
it and even a KW of RF doesn't phase it! Sure beats my old Mitsubishi
CRT that had TVI with as little as 50W on 80m.
