I have to say the Pic-of-the- Day with Minna Kalikak's boys and their clean underwear is one of my favorite vintage ads of all time!

All because of the Magiclean filter--if I've got the rig Weird how the guy on the far left looks like Charlie Scheen while the guy on the far right looks even more like the young version of the actor who plays Jack's boss on 30Rock.
I want to learn the Whirlpool chronology, what each year's machine looks like, which years the look was pretty much unchanged, etc. This one looks like the copper version of the machine in the current WP thread.
Agreed, great ad. | ||

WHIRLPOOL LUNDRY ADS FROM THE 1960S WP had some great ads around this time, I think my other all time favorite ad was the women holding a wad of lint that she had removed from her washers lint filter. The caption read [ maybe your automatic washer isn't automatic enough ] the look on her face was worth a million bucks. This was an ad for WPs Magic Clean self-cleaning lint filter, easily the best lint filter of any kind ever used on an automatic washer. | ||

Heeeeyyyyyy! I have this ad on the back of one of my Whirlpool service/repair guides...
(I bought a few at a used book store for whatever my funds allowed & sorely regret not getting the one where the electric dryer hook-up is set up like a tanning salon & the gas dryer hook-up is set up like a still...!) Anyway, I've always wondered what the pic' looked like in COLOR! I figured the washer had to at least be in COPPER! AND PLEASE!!!!! DON'T DROP THAT BOWLING BALL ON MY BRAND NEW WHIRLPOOL WASHER!!!! (Sorry, I got worried there...) -- Dave | ||

My vote for the best self cleaning lint filter is by the com
Actually I prefer the original self-cleaning lint filter in the '47 - '49 GE washers. The screen goes around the entire circumference of the wash basket and since the basket indexes slightly during agitation the lint is evenly spread out around the entire basket screen. Then when its flushed away, its done not in one clump but in lots of small pieces and these small pieces go down any drain without clogging issues.

Here's the WHIRLPOOL LAUNDRY PRODUCTS Service/Repair Guide which I acquired a few years back:
I've got a few other manuals like this for washers & dryers (OK, maybe it's a COUPLE! --One is a Model Guide (for a fairly top-of-the-line, which even has controls outside of the timer dial for speed & another is a comprehensive guide on INSTALLING washers & dryers, too...) One for dishwashers (maybe TWO: Port. & Built-In) & one for Electric Ranges... I should have bought the one which shows the workings of the elec./gas dryer set up as a tanning salon and a "still"... I had to pass up the one for the Trashmaster ® trash compactor, too... Wish I'd just have had the money to... -- Dave

they should have all been standing there in their underwear....that is the point of the ad!....and maybe attempting to pull them off......this ad is cute, but could have been more arousing...
Robert: was the GE of 47-49 a filter flo similar to Hotpoints/GE Rim-FLo design?......interesting that it started that far back | ||

Imagine if this shot had been set up like the ad for the Norge with the family around it and the boy with the non-supportive briefs holding the dog was multiplied 7 times. | ||

Here's a kicker If the head a**wipes at today's GE were to decide, miraculously and more than 50 years later, to resurrect the AW-6 from 1947 and produce them today with contemporary materials and technology (which I would expect make them less expensive to manufacture), could anyone think of a better washing machine to run out and buy? What do you think stops them? | ||

AW-6 Was a very good machine in fact one of the best in its day. I owned the one Robert has and used it in my vacation house in W Va. for almost 10 years. It would be very costly to make used a huge amount of water and was only fair in washing ability like all GE automatics till the V-12s came out. It had numerous other faults that consumers would find unexpected today like excessive sand left in the basket and the high speed would leave too many wrinkles. It is still a neat idea to dream about Ken. | ||
