360 days In the 60's Sears had a 1 year no hassle replacement or refund if you were unhappy with your washer. In 1972 I had friends who made Sears take theirs back and they repaired their old model 70 because she liked it better. | ||

I would almost guarantee...
"in 2002 I worked in the lawn and garden area across from appliance central. Washer and dryers stared at me all day long. I over heard a conversation about a woman who bought this same exact set. I think she had 2 or 3 kids and a husband. She came back two weeks later rising all kind of heck with the sales person who sold her the machines. She told the sales person these machines don't clean, the capacity is too small....etc. She also complained it took the dryer forever to dry clothes."
I would almost guarantee that this woman overloaded the machines, thinking she could get a super washload into a $200 washer. A friend of mine had a similar set years ago....I was in an apartment with no hookups then, and she was kind enough to let me do laundry at her place if I was in a pinch. I think hers were branded Capri, but the same machines. They washed just fine with a normal load. Dryer didn't take an inordinate amount of time either. User error still accounts for most of these folks wailing and raising heck. | ||

The washer is indeed a 2.5 cu. ft. model - that's all they could put in the 24-inch cabinets I think. It may have had the solid blue tub and a gray straight vane agitator. I know that its precedessors surely did, but I don't know when those two items were replaced for inventory simplicity by the speckled basket and white agitator of the same design.
I'm not sure why Sears discontinued these models. They were the mainstay of the BOL models for about 30 years with that same plastic panel design. I believe they sold a slew of them too. Before this ugly orange/tan panel, they were beige, then walnut, and finally white. The dryer door is the standard 29-inch side-swing plug door, which Whirlpool made tens of millions of and still offers one or two models, I think in the Estate and Roper lines. Gordon | ||
