They were certainly quality built. Our neighbors had 2 generations of these. The first had a window in the washer door and the second was a late 70s harvest gold set.
I remember seeing a Reader's Digest advertisement showing the multiport aerator that looked really fun. I seem to remember 6 ports, not 12. The camera angle was from directly above the washer and it just looked really cool. One has to wonder how well those little openings have held up with hard water, over time. I can't think of any other washer that has such an elaborate aerator fill spout. Am I getting too picky? It seems like there is a typo in this ad. The saying is "Now you see it, now you don't." not "Now you see it, NO you don't" |

Now you don't is correct. That is a saying that was used for several different types of advertising. Also if I'm not mistaken the 1958 Frigidaire Unimatic washer was rated #1 by Consumer Reports. Bob |

Well, here's proof of GM Frigidaire quality. This 1972 machine has only had the timer motor replaced and as of November had it's first servicing of the agitator arm bearing. The matching dryer is still going too, without any repairs, just the occasional clean out every couple years!

I was just given a frigidaire washer, like the one in the "POD" except it's color is almond. I was wondering if you had a windowed frigidaire lid in almond I could buy from you?
Please get back to me & let me know. Thank you Bruce. I look forward to hearing from you real soon. With fingers crossed... :o) |

I also had one of the last GM made washers in 1979. I sold it with the house. I now wish I didn't. I would love to have that machine again..........along with red box Dash. That was the only detergent I used in the machine. Everything came out very clean. |

Sure, here's a picture of the fill and second picture is of the deep rinse during the first spin.
