I have it hooked up in the garage, portable mode. I think this is a base model |

I have a short no sound video of the wash action, but don't know how to post it. |

I don't have a rack, so it sits under my old computer in the garage. It is not vented to the outdoors, so it turns the garage into a large steamroom. |

Hi Scott ... thanks for sharing!! That's a nice set you have and I'm sure lots of fun to use. :-) How many gallons of water is used for a full load? |

Jeff, I was not sure, so I just checked the water meter and filled it, 13.5 gallons for a full load, x 3 fills = 40.5 gallons! |

Scott that machine is very cool. Its a early version of the portable GE because it has a porcelain balance rim at the top of the wash tub. They were plastic for many years after that. Last month Gary and I were driving to an esate sale when I saw one of these in an alley, we stopped as I wanted to see if it had a procelain rim, if it did I was going to take it home, but was a JC Penney later version with a plastic rim.

Here's my GE, full view. Tom, do you know the approximate year of this style? The control panel had become a little more "GE-esque" by this time...especially the timer knob and markings! |

Here's the interior...notice the blue 4-vane impeller, plastic balance ring and different-shape tub ring. Still has the porcelain tub though! |

And the funky "shower-spray" fill...partial sheet/pillowcase load with 1 Persil Liquigel added. |

I thought so, thanks Austin. It IS the ideal candidate to sneak into a rental apt where washers are prohibited. PITA downstairs neightbors cant complain if the vibration is minimal. Buy in late Novemeber, early December and wrap in Christmas paper. Does wonders to keep the neightbors and mgt off your tail. (Or any time of year with Juvenile Btirthday paper.) |

Toggle, My machine is quiet and smooth, can barely hear it run, same with the dryer. Like Austin said, it seems to be well balanced. Scott |
