Eye candy Opening the thread, I was about to say that Surgomatic is the Whirpool equivalent of the Kenmore Visimatic, but you're already there, Nate. Because of the styling of the full skirt with no break in the line, this gem is said to look enormous in the flesh, esp, with the giant chrome band around the bottom. Can not explain why this machine is so rare while the Visimatic is not--we see them regularly, but hardly ever a Surgomatic. John, do you know why?
As far as I know, no one in the group has one of these beautiful machines. A few months ago, one was offered for sale; it may not have been as TOL as the one pictured. Let's find the thread and see what happened.

I believe.. Kenmore had a visimatic with touch controls from 58-59 and then they went back to manual lever controls. This was probably made during the same period since Kenmore used Whirlpool washers. | ||

This just popped up on Craigslist and I recognized the shape... So here are some real-world pictures of the "Surgomatic" label if anyone was curious.
"1950's Whirlpool wringer washer in working condition. Great shape. Just missing the knob. Used by my grandmother until her death. Been in storage for the last 10 yrs. Open to offers." ($100) quadcities.craigslist.org/app/59... | ||
