It was a new model, just came out and no where on the web site could I get clarification on the dimensions. I had to drive down and look at the darn thing myself to confirm what I needed to know. Ever since then, I have resisted sending my clients to Sears for appliances. Thank you Paul for making your voice heard.User9827892https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418459960341678404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-54019670747941619222009-10-30T08:44:51.264-04:002009-10-30T08:44:51.264-04:00Ahhh, there you are.

More than anything though, this experience showed me what's possible when a bunch of K&B people band together and deal with a glaring problem instead of shaking our fists at bad specs in the middle of the night. I say we form a bloc and have similar chats with all of 'em. Miele and Sharp, are you listening?<br /><br />We're supposed to have a follow up at some point in the next couple of weeks. I'll be sure to keep you posted.Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-68315599502655993252009-10-30T01:28:30.797-04:002009-10-30T01:28:30.797-04:00Ooh!

I'll send out one more blanket e-mail to everybody and then Sears is going to set this up for a time next week. They are in Chicago, so they are sensitive to time zone changes.

Yes, I would be delighted to participate with you and the others for a "mega conference call" with the Sears team. I set my own hours, so for the most part, my schedule is wide open. (Please remember you are a few hours ahead of me when you set up the time.) This is a wonderful opportunity.
