I don't know if you'd want to use a Bendix for a daily driver, but then again I could be wrong! |

Welcome to AW.org. They are a lot of fun, but aren't that great for a daily driver. Their extraction is poor, their capacity is small, they aren't that great at cleaning, replacement parts are EXTREMELY difficult to find, and service companies are unfamiliar and untrained on that brand and vintage. You would have to complete any and all repairs yourself (with help from AW.org of course), and you would have to find parts yourself. I admire people who use vintage machines every day, but if that's what you want to do, you ought to have several in case one or two are inoperative and awaiting parts/repair. Good luck, Dave |

Because they're a classic vintage! Performance is an after thought when collecting rare, old, really cool washers. |
