I believe that the Magic Minute was some sort of prewash or soak, correct? Was it Kelvinator or some other company? I have seen the term applied here to other washers besides Kelvinator. Does anyone know when they stopped marketing the feature in advertising? |

Kelvinator used the term Magic Minute, but early ABC washers did the same thing (agitation with a concentrated detergent solution), calling it Shampoo Action. Go to the Cyber Museum page of this site and click on ABC. There is great video footage of an ABC washer in both Shampoo Action and regular wash modes. |

Yeah, that's where I saw "magic minute" applied to another brand, in the Cyber Museum. Did these cycles really last only 60 seconds, or was it a figure of advertising speech? |
