Anything manufactured in China and imported to the US should have the same tariff that China imposes on US goods - or even US branded goods made in China.

500%

We need to work out a bit better trade package with the ROK - but 50% sounds very high.

As stated in a MAD Magazine (fake) ad; My Majag’s a workin’ still....

Does the genius who wrote this know that LG and Samsung products manufactured in the U.S. are not imports?

If it wasn’t for the threat of tariffs maybe those plant wouldn’t be built here...

Whirlpool also makes Roper, a made in America no-frills brand. My Roper washer and dryer work great, and are still priced better than any import.

I remember when GM led the fight against imported cars from Japan. They succeeded in getting import control/reduction.
Then the GM executives celebrated, gave themselves huge bonuses, and jacked up the prices on GM cars. I swore right then I’d never buy another GM product, and I have not.

If memory serves Whirlpool builds their products in Mec-He-Co!

Did they, or did they not, compete unfairly?

Were they being subsidized by their home country or being sold at a loss?

These are fair questions.

Buy a speed queen. Best washer/dryer in America, longest guarantee (5 years), commercial quality (same machines for the home that they sell to laundromats), usually last at least 25 years, made in America, and don’t cost any more than the high end whirlpool, LG, etc. $1500, but my dealer met the out of town sale price, $1300, including delivery. Set up is an extra $25, but their stackable unit weighs 900 lbs, and comes in two pieces that have to be put together, including the wiring. Love it! Uses 11 gallons water, total, including wash and rinse.

If Whirlpool is trying to get tariff, they should lower the prices...

Whirlpool can stick it. Had to replace the Cabrio units after 3 years. There was nothing redeemable about them. Do not buy. They neither washed nor dried. Two loads if lucky in one day.

I’m still using my Maytag washer from 30 years ago. I looked at the washers out there now and find them too big, too deep, and too expensive. I can’t reach down inside them like I can with my current washer, which I plan to run till it breaks for good.

[Garth Tater]

Sounds like there is money to be made refurbishing old, American-made washing machines and dryers.

One more thing to add to the Whirpool insanity.
