I picked up this GE filter flo last night! While it's not a TOL machine and does not have Mini-Wash (Darn!) but it's in great shape and works perfectly! I drove out to pick it up and the woman was late getting there... I had to wait more then 30 minutes. I had a radio so I was good for most of that time, lol. Anyway, this woman felt so guilty for being late and making me wait for her, she REDUCED the asking price 65% (to $20!!!). I did not mind waiting!!! :-D Can anyone tell me what year it is??? Thanks!!!

Does anyone know why GE quit making such a popular machine?
Personally I think it may be because they use SOOOOO much water compared to other washers. If you did not know (you probably do, sorry), the outer tub is fixed and does not move with the inner tub, so it's MUCH larger in diameter and thus, holds a LOT of extra, much more then other machines with the smaller outer tub that moves around with the inner one! This extra water between the inner and outer tubs does not add to the washing or rinsing ability what so ever and is just wasted! Please don't get me wrong, I really like this machine, but compared to another machine of the same capacity it used a lot more water per cycle. >>JeffG. Thanks, I would LOVE it if this one is from 1973, but I think it's much newer then that. I believe (the public, government, etc) was not concerned with energy conservation back then and if it were from the early - mid 70's, it would have a hot wash/warm rinse or warm/warm option, rather then the cold rinse only and " *Energy Saving" notations as this one does.

I would say 1988 as well, but as a side note, my FF is from 1978 and does not have a warm rinse option, and also has the marking stating energy saving selection. This machine is in immaculate condition. | ||

changing speeds Golittlesport was right about changing the speeds while the washer is running-I've read SEVERAL Consumer Reports books that have warned that changing speeds while the machine is running may cause damage. | ||

This is no longer my "newest" acquisition.....
Wow... this now seems SOOOO long ago (LOL). Gee, since bringing this one home, I have also brought home a.... PAIR of Kenmore belt drives (1980 & 1986), a 1947 Universal Wringer washer, a 1975 Maytag A806, a 2 year old Frigidaire Affinity FL washer, a 1963 Norge gas dryer and a Maytag wringer washer! PHEWW!!! | ||

Does anyone know the exact gallons used by the large capacity FF's? I bet it's near 50 gallons for a full load. Bobby in Boston | ||
