I do remember seeing that one 'live' on TV - what year would that have been?? Is the 'competition' a Kenmore with what they called the 'dual action' agitator??

Yeah, and notice how low the water level is for the size of the load. The only way to get good roll-over with a 1-18.

Do any of you remember the Rollermatic commercial from the late 60's with the kid who rolls a clear Frigidaire washer tub equipped with a jetcone agitator onto a set in a toy wagon, and then pours gallons of milk and chocolate syrup into it to make chocolate milk? I'd love to see that again.

Actually...I think I remember....

A commercial in the mid '60s of a lady sitting on a stool next to a clear tub with a Deep Action agitator in it doing the sock test. Was I dreaming or was that a real commercial?

That was the Frigidaire commercial chopped up for Handy Andy.

not the same commercial as Handy Andy

The Handy Andy commercial is using the '70's vintage agitator vs. a Kenmore Dual Action. The one I saw was using the pre-1970s Deep Action agitator.
