It seems strange that the dryer in the picture is a standard drum GE dryer. It looks to be TOL or near it so wouldn't Hotpoint use the giant drum/door (actual real Hotpoint) design ? |

No, because, at this point, the geniuses over at GE had just killed off the real Hotpoint division in Chicago. Both these machines are GE's with a few leftover Hotpoint parts thrown in to defraud Hotpoint customers. That said, even these models were much more interesting than the shameless GE clones that were to come in just a couple of years.

And I would love to find my grandmother's Hotpoint washer, too. I do not remember too much about it. I know it had a similar control panel as the POD, shape-wise. And a green agitator. That thing was loud as hell. I was about 6 when it pooped out and apparently choked on a pillowcase. :) I am sure it was late 60's, similar to the Sillohuette (sp?) series. I cannot be so sure though. I loved it, from what i remember of it. It would be a dream to see or hear it again. |
