When I was a little boy living in Boston, we had the undercounter version of the Westinghouse Front loader. Lots of fun to watch. I was 5 or six and would watch it run, sometimes play with the controls too! Get in trouble. :-)
That's the exact ad the sold me on Frontload washers. I bought the exact same modle, used a couple of years later for my first washer. I loved that machine. Worked great, never gave me a bit of trouble
