Xylophone or not that is one nice set and I envy you! :) How is the washing and drying performance? | ||

Curious to know... What is a xylophone in this context? I only know a xylophone as a musical instrument. | ||

Well, I had never heard of a dryer with a xylophone before. It is certainly more sophisticated than the ordinary buzzer that can be very annoying, especially when it is from the neighbour's dryer late at night :) | ||

Travis, glad you got these. One of my mom's best friends had the "other" dryer, the one with the button to the right of the timer. I believe that was an "auto dry" option. This is the first time I've seen this particular dryer since I was 13. I don't think anyone else here has that dryer with the button. I vaguely remember someone here saying the button simply popped out when the clothes were dry and there wasn't any kind of "cool down". My mom's friend had a 1955 Unimatic. That washer and dryer went from Houston, to Dallas, and on to a suburb of San Francisco. They werre both still running when my mom's friend decided she wanted to update her laundry with a poppy 1/18 set in 1974 or so. | ||

How does the tune to "How Dry I Am" go? | ||

Styling-wise, whatever year they are, they are the same. I'd say they were 55s -- perhaps the one with the xylophone was one made available in Dec. 54 or so? I dunno my 55 doesn't have one. "How dry I am" you'll know it when you hear it. | ||

Westinghouse dryer How long does a dry cycle take? I believ It must take very long, because of the poor spinning performance of the westinghouse washer! | ||

Today's dryer tune... would be rap. Something like ... musice -(pomm pomm pity pomm pomm, pomm pomm pity pomm pomm) lyrics- "Yo bitch, ya clothes is done. Yo' clothes be done, (refrain) clothes be done, clothes be done..." | ||

Ugh.. don't remind me I live in the city of St. Louis. Please don't remind me about rap. That's what double pane windows are for. Ok, now back to a peaceful sounding xylophone. Email me if you have a spare one for my dryer. :-) | ||
