Let me state upfront that I'm a big fan of the over-the-top design/styling on vintage machines; The great wall of China that is the Norge Dispensomat console? Love it! The 50-or-so variations in Frigidaire consoles? Love 'em all! The look-ma-no-hands suspended console on the '61 Hotpoint? Love it! But adding the totally unnecessary control panel on top of a nearly empty console was not a great moment in appliance design. I'm all for gratuitousness if it looks sexy, but this.....yeesh. Saved only by the window in the door.

Tomturbomatic---I know what you mean about the excessive cycle count. My 3-cycle Frigidaire FL claims to have something like 14! The actual cycles are Whites, Colors and Knit/Delicate. Even if you take into account the wash time options on two of the cycles as separate entities (Heavy, Medium, Light) it still comes nowhere NEAR 14 cycles.
