The last thread asked for a second one, so please add on to this one.

This is my GE Filter-Flo, a 1994 model.

Martin

Look inside, it has a Hotpoint tub. I didn't make it, I got it at a used appliance store. I think this is the last year for Filter-flo, so maybe they used what ever parts they had. Or maybe the dealer put it together.

In any case, any filter-flow is fun. And it really gets out that dog hair!!

Bojack?

*Clutch the pearls*

I just love that machine!

Here is the second DW I grew up with, circa 1974/1975.
Sears Kenmore by D&M.

Of course, it has the requisite wood paneled front of that era.
Two position Roto-Rack (rotating round upper rack.)
Lights, oh so many lights

A red neon pilot over the timer.
2 x 10w bulos over the chrome rectangular buttons.
..and FOUR neons where it says in script "Water Temperature Indicator" These were:

~COOL
~NORMAL
~SANI
~DELAY

Power miser cool-dry selector switch and a fan to assist dry.


Gansky's NIB Sears portable DW reminds me of this one.

And just for total effect, a panoramic rear-view, to get a feel for the era and time-frame. *LOL*

oh and the racks were a pale "canary" yellow and the tub was porcelain.

I know that rear view from anywhere.......


Is that you before the sex change?????

uh no, actually.
THIS is the sister who had the bow in her hair. LOL

Who ever she is/was,
she looks good!

(Nice DW, I've had about 5 of those, some portable. None had that cool 70s wood panel though)

:oD

Steve, aside form the hot/cool dry option (offered at the very tail end of the series), that is the exact same model we had in the house in Houston. I believe bought late 1972 or early 1973. It was replaced by teh same GSD1200 as I have here in 1988.

Bob,

I still remember this machine fondly! Thanks for the info.!

The fan on mom's was exceedingly loud and vibrated. Had to shim it up with wood to keep it quiet. Did it push air in, or pull air out? I'm starting to forget.I think it used to pull air out which was was not good for the cabinets. Similalry there was an air inlet near the bottom of the door....

In the rare white/grey/black colors too!

I"m not sure about the air flow direction steve.

Here is my favorite new washer,Frigidaire Gallery FL, it is the same one that Bob Appnut has now. We now have the GE Profile dryer.

The fan pushes air into the dishwasher tank, around the heater and through the outlet in the door.

Here is the ebay pic of mine, just a little before Tog's (and his heart-shaped butt) had in the picture above...

New I tell you!

that ge washer (at least those older ones) rock! there better than the one my parents bought in 2002! we still have it and thanks to the info from you fellow members i was able to diagnose the problem( well they were). anyways my EX girlfriend had that same type of machine with that pan filter on the top it was really good at collecting lint, evil lint lol! i remember i left a pair of pants in her bookbag (to long of a story) and the pants had some washed tissue in the pockets all she did was put them to wash and the pockets came out clean! the tissue was all in that filter! i saw it for myself. good work ge! they should have left that same engineering design its a hell of alot better than the more modern ones!

Wow that Kenmore DW is like exactly what I had growing up. And yours is brand NEW. sweet

posing for Kenmore Top Mount ad 1977, (I'm really old)

cute ad. late 1960s cute avacodo appliances :o)

GE late 70s washer mini-washer

my three month old 1200 spin aqualtis.... no problems so far!!

Now that was one absolutely gorgeous Kenmore washer. I remember when you had that one.

is that a zannusi tabl top dishwasher that is next to you hotpoint, nice washer aswell lol

Just like in Washertalk's ad.

This is how to protect your vintage machines from bad laundry habits.

Oh, and you can tell which cycle I've been using....

I'm not going to mess with that KM.

Wow, that is COOL, Jason! No wonder you were taking sneak peeks at it.

hey robbie, yea its a compact Zanussi Dishwasher...

Yeah, Roboraptor's a fun robot. He can be remotely controlled or put on "free roam" mode where he walks around and can sense noises and objects in front of him. This morning I put him on "Playful" mode to make him dance to music while I videotaped. Well, Dino, having a mind of his own found Helen's shoes and kept poking his head in and sniffing the shoes instead of dancing (all caught on video). A robot with a foot fetish... great :-D

. a robot with a foot fetish? I won't believe it.

in harvest gold

You'll see it for yourself when I upload the video to Youtube. I wanted Dino to dance but he had other plans.

hey matey
i had the exact same one and it worked ten times better than my full size hotpoint, amazing just how much you can fit in the little zannussi i done the exact same thing as you and took my cupboard door off and fitted it under the worktop as space was minimul in my last house.
really like your new hotpoint well ariston lol mate has the same model and no problems as such yet...

check your email
;-)

Magic Mix

.

I love the black-trimmed white porcelain top against the gray tub and black Surgilator!!

heres my baby!!

and the controls...

and finally the dispencer

whats that small circle at the bottom left of the washer?

It's the access port for the drain filter. It also lets you gain access to the emergency door switch, as Miele washers have an electronic door switch.

Wondeful your new Miele! It's a fantastic machine. I've just bought the Miele T7744 dryer and like everything that goes out from Miele works like a charm and it's expected to last for decades!

TOL Simpson model.

A little closer of the controls.

Inside. Rated 9.5 KG capacity. Its a huge tub.

Late 70's rocker switch model.

Mid seventies model.

That Simpson 950 sure looks like an F&P to me.

The Simpson and Westinghouse have similar styling to F&P but they are not the same. The Simpson is a reversing motor style machine while Westinghouse offers a direct drive DC model.

Here is a picture of the F&P

Here is a Hoover Commander washing machine. Sadly these machines are no longer made. With their really long agitator strokes they were lots of fun.

Hoover controls.

Program knob.

miss this agitator :(

This is the smaller 6kg version with glass lid.

from Early 80's before Simpson take over.

Inside.

Fascinating to me, the wash bowls look so similar in design, nothing like that here until F&P.

All these ownderful machienes.. I am just drooling all over the laptop...
I want the new roto rack dishwasher!!

my newest machines


JasonL 1 and 2

Identical Lady Kenmores

my other machine

the Jamie Pulsator 1

Montgomery Ward

Classic Whirlpool....Still a daily driver

Inside this classic

ahh nothin like the traditional old whirlpool memories of childhood.

But Gary, that's a direct drive whirly, not even a belt-drive. How can it be classic?

According to another thread, that Whirly was made the year I was born!

It is a 'Classic' to me.....End of story.....TYVM!

Classic Design, classic look

Good machienes in my book

If my ex had one, i'd go find a (cough, cough) GE for him from Salvation Army and make this one out to be a real dog and make the GE out be soo great.... Then take this for me..

I am not nice to EX's am I???

Any way, great washer

My Whirlpool is identical to Gary's, except:

Mine has three water levels (Sm/Med/Lg)...

Mine has a temperature selector knob, no buttons (H/W/C)...

Mine has a "Super Surgilator" agitator (straight vane)...

Mine isn't a Supreme and has no bleach dispenser...I can't stand them anyway....

Can you see why I'd never get rid of it?

Especially when you see what they are selling, now?

That machine belongs to the ex. It now sits next to the New Maytag Performa dryer that I bought for him last week(See 'Frustrated' thread in Super Forum).

I believe that the washing action is just way too fast. It goes into a slower wash towards the end of the cycle. But still does a great job.

Steve is going to adjust the water level since the water does not come to the top of the tub when it is set to Max.

LOL, I am?

Well at least your ex was happy that I solved "the linting problem" when I did his laundry at his place, while showing him how and giving lessons.

Can't really recommend "medium" water setting and a full tub of clothing, now can we? LOL

That boy has NO clue....
Gotta love him though for trying.

G-Wuzzit you that posted the pic of the Maytag Dependable Care washer recently? Can't find it, nor can I locate the machine (sigh)...

The Maytags I like better for somewhat gentler wash action...yes, I hear you, the whirling-dervish routine does get tired on the Whirlpool, and I do use the gentle cycle on it far more than on any of my other machines...

But it gets the job done, well, and quickly, with very minor problems. I will probably always make space for it.

Never have I had problems with low water level. (Shhhh.)

Going forward, I believe these machines WILL be bonafide classics.

Scott,


What a memory. Yup. It was me! Steve and I got the DC Maytag together. He actually rigged the lid switch so that the washer would stay operational with the lid up. We had fun playing with that machine when it arrived.


Here is 'our' washer:

Here is our machine:

THAT'S the one, thank you!

I'm not happy with what I'm seeing with these Maytag "Legacy" machines that are popping up....definitely willing to pay more for the real deal (or something as close to that as possible...)

I have a couple of Maytag center-dial TLs in storage....alas no time or money to restore, yet.

I know it's a troubled brand, but, are all the others really any better?

Thanks again.....

SO i know

This one is similar to the Old style maytags not the crappy newer ones???

My aunt has one that she's replaced everything but the water inlet valve and timer and it's only 4 years old!
