Throwback Thursday: News Recap January 8, 2015

If you have been reading the W.L. May Blog but haven't checked us out on Facebook, Twitter or Google+, you may not be getting the whole story. We use all of those social media outlets to share news stories that relate to our industry as well as appliance tips we have found from other sources. Here is a recap of some of the top stories we have seen lately. It's been kind of a slow week for news, probably due to the holidays, but there was a little bit. So without further ado:

We start with some consumer friendly articles we feel would be great for sharing:

• How to install a dishwasher. This might explain why that is often not a "free" service. LIKE
• Yahoo offered their spin on laundry tips. LINK
• You always hear about cleaning out the inside of a refrigerator. Maybe the outside needs a cleaning out as well. Here's how. LINK

Next, we look at the manufacturers and how they have been in the news recently:

• Whirlpool opened a new Tech Center in Benton Harbor, MI LINK
• First we heard a bit more on the story from earlier this year where LG executives were accused of vandalizing Samsung appliances while attending a trade show in Germany. LINK
• Then we heard that an LG executive was banned from travel to CES show pending litigation in the case. LINK
• Then things got even more odd as the saga between LG and Samsung continued with a raid on LG's offices and upper management. LINK
• Whirlpool was showing off Nest connected appliances at the CES show in Las Vegas. LINK
• Whirlpool got a little touchy-feely at the CES in Las Vegas with their "Every day, care" campaign. LINK
• Want to control appliances with a smartphone app? GE's new product line promises to allow that. LINK
• Whirlpool won several awards at the CES show in Las Vegas. LINK
