Okay, so "How Clean Is Your House" is now one of my favorite shows. Makes me feel SOOOOO much better about mine! Anyway, the episode that was on this past Monday featured a guy with three dogs. There was a scene where they were doing laundry and showed the timer dial for the dryer. It was kind of weird, and I know I've seen it before. The dial was dished, and recessed flush into the control panel, which was low and curved. The start button was rectangular and also flush with the control panel. I'm thinking this is a Kenmore, but I'm not sure. At any rate, I KNOW I've seen it before. Can anyone shed some light on this machine for me? I think the episode will be repeated on 10/11 at 8:00 AM. | ||

I think it might be a kenmore from the 60's to early 70's. I can't give details but I know some Kenmores had dished dials, usually under a cover. I believe they had rectangular start buttons. | ||

Definitely a "Match-All" from Kenmore, in the early '70's. My cousin had one, and used it through 3 washers. It was a good basic dryer. | ||

Who is presenting this show in the US, is it the same two Scottish harpies that present it in the UK? | ||

How Clean Is Your House?
It's hosted by Kim Something and Aggie MacKenzie. Aggie's Scottish. I'm guessing they're the same two "harpies" as shown in the UK! I absolutely LOVE this show. One certainly doesn't get any useful cleaning tips, but the voyeuristic appeal is off the chart. It's basically a 30-minute commercial for Procter & Gamble products (Yay!) but the two gals are totally hysterical! It's amazing how people can live in filth and not even be apologetic about it. Frankly, there's not enough money in the WORLD to get me to do something like that. To get back on track, anybody got a picture of the "match all" dryer from Sears? I don't know why it looks so familiar to me. We never owned one, and I don't even think I ever saw one in person. | ||

Maybe plastic may be preferable to the current control panels that are so thin and flimsey one dares not push to hard them for fear of bending them. | ||

Appeals Maybe it is the odd lint filter cover. This may be the only year they made them in this shape. | ||
