Thanks Pat, good nostalgic info, I wonder why they did not mention the sears that required a concrete slab and double tubs? alr2903 | ||

I would have made weekly payments on that GE for years! The Bendix is a small package but they claimed it could wash nine pounds of clothes. I tried to cram nine pounds in mine and it was so stuffed, the clothes didn't really "tumble" they just rolled as a ball. The drum is tiny so for even mediocre cleaning results, 1/2 full was about the limit. Using real soap, I can't imagine the horrors that people opened the door to after the poor washing and pitiful rinsing and 200 rpm spin. It's not a fluke that we find so many barely used still bolted to their concrete slabs. | ||
