hummmmmmmm Difficult to answer... I just hope the time travel is made using a Tardis, so I could to to several different years and countries and fit as many washers I could. Then I'd take maybe 2 years only unloading the tardis in present. | ||

1961 or 1962 Kenmore with waterfall lint filter with scrubber cap agitator OR 1968-1969 GE Filter-Flo in avacado green. I wouldn't turn down an indexing top loading Westy of the 70's either. Hard choice. | ||

Good Golly Nemesis!! For once there's something we're not going to compete for!!!!
Well, I always fantasize about finding a NOS Hotpoint 1969 Duo-Load pair (in coppertone)even though I know performance would be disappointing.
I suppose I'd also love to find a vintage Miele professional washer and dryer with the backsplash, water heater and ridiculously fast spin. | ||

My vintage washer is this 1948 Kenmore I got in August. My dryer is a clothesline just like my mothers was. I HATE winter. I want to let my Maytags rest and play with them.

1968 Whirlpool Imperial Mark Xll washer. Revvinkevin has/had one. I've never seen one in the wild though.

Good question!!
I think it would be fun to go back to 1972, mid-year at a Sears store.
They still had the super-tall centerpost 18lb washers with the whopper Roto-Swirl, which I have never seen "in the wild" as they say. There was such a variety of models regular capacity models that year, maybe 15 different machines including carry-overs from 1970 and 1971. I was fascinated by the control dials used by most models in combinations of all white, half white/half chrome, and all chrome. They still had the porcelain on steel tub rings, and most models had differing consoles from the next, as in the 1960s. I focus on this year though because my Mom got a new dryer that year, and I was in the store for part of that, just enough to be thoroughly intrigued, but I was just too young to absorb the details I would have later (and probably too short to look at the machines in detail without a booster stool, lol).

I would go back to 1957 so i could purchase a Frigidaire control tower washer and matching dryer. I would most likely choose a white set because white goes with almost anything. | ||

 I think a flagship-model all-pushbutton Maytag A 906 set, otherwise, I'm torn between a high-ended Whirlpool & an almost-TOL (one model short of an Americana) GE Filter-Flo...
(Oh, did I tell you? --I got a thing for a Radio Dial Kenmore, washer & dryer, too...)

My dream set would be a 1968 Whirlpool Imperial Mark Xll washer & dryer set like RevvinKevin had. One option that I would need to have on the washer though would be Whirlpool's famous "Suds-Miser" feature.

A 1966-67 Lady Kenmore Keyboard Set, a 1981 Lady Kenmore Electronic Set, a Speed Queen Set from the 1960's, and two Frigidaire Sets -- a 1960's Roller-Matic Set with Rapidry Spin on the Washer, and a Frigidaire 1-18 Set (1970-79). --Charles-- | ||

While I'm traveling though time, I'd also pick up the 70 series washer to match my 1962 Kenmore Dryer
