The pictures of the colored mini-baskets were cool. Didn't GE make a mini-basket that had holes all through it instead of just at the top? I could be wrong; but it seems to me they did. Dan |

Yes, GE made a special version of the MiniBasket for the Spotscrubber models. It only had the holes at the top, nothing in the bottom like the other models. There was also a special version of the filter for the Spotscrubber models..... |

What's so special about that filter besides the inscription (although I'll always love that color)? Also, prove me wrong but I think all GE mini-baskets had small holes in the bottom to faciliate the recirculation of water. IIRC the Hotpoint Duo-Load basket had no holes to keep water separate from main washbasket. |

The SpotsScrubber filter is DEEPER in depth than the usual filter. The Spotsscrubber MiniBaskets were indeed solid minibaskets with only holes in the top....... |

Funny. Same part number and mine is different. I have the original filterflo and a replacement still in the bag for my Spotscrubber machine. Both just say filterflo on them and not spotscrubber. |

I use the filter-flo baskets as food holders for dry cat food. I have way too many of them laying around. Pretty good 2nd life to such a cool inovation. |

It appears the only thing "Different" is the size of the filter pan itself. I cant imagine needing a bigger pan lol despite the dirtiest laundry ive ever seen ive NEVER filled a standard Filter Flo pan |

We had top of the line 1966 GE with mini basket and matching dryer. They were avocado green to match the Brady Bunch refrigerator we had. I can remember my Mother using the mini basket to wash her panty hose in. She also use to use Salvo tabs that she would but in the lint filer at the start of each load.

Obviously a Canadian model. How marvelous is this all white tub. Poop, I want this machine so bad. Idiomatic rather than literal translation. Promised you a basket by Christmas, and you're gonna get it. C'est tout blanc aussi. fa_ etc. give us a name will ya buddy: You keep the clothes from going overboard by placing the filter pan over the mini-basket. Once I didn't and a sock got stuck in the drain. Luckily the outer tub is shallow, and you can reach down and reveal the hole, or gain access to it, by pulling the wash tub forward. The drain port is at 12 o'clock if I remember correctly. Unless of course your arms are as big as Robert's and then you're screwed, and you'll have to call a service man. |
