I would get an Almond mid 1980's Montgomery Wards or Norge 20lb capacity washer with the 3/4 hp motor. The Wards/Norges were always my favorite. Also, I do like the Kenmore in Harvest Gold with the Pentavane agitator. |

My imaginary dream washer would be a late 1960's Lady K with Super RotoSwirl agitator, and a manual lint filter. Any color will do but avocado is first choice. |

Great first choice pierreandreply4. That would be my choice as well, except I'm not picky about the color. The first washer I remember we had was a 70's Canadian Kenmore that looked exactly like the one in the linked thread below, with the only difference being ours had a second rinse option, five water temp selections, and the timer programs, although in the same order, were not at the same position that this one is... our Normal started at 1 o'clock, and Prewash was at 10 o'clock. I remember that the Normal final spin would stop exactly at 3 o'clock if the second rinse wasn't turned on. The timer knob also didn't have the white trim that this one does... it was all "chrome". I also remember it being very quiet... there was no "woo woo" sound; the only thing you heard was the 60Hz of the motor running.
Of course I'd take any BD Kenmore, but the quieter the "woo woo", the better. CLICK HERE TO GO TO barcoboy's LINK |

every one has great choice and lets not forget that these washers where the best since they have no atc temp limit you went lets say a true hot water wash or warm they have it and they do not had cold water to cooldown in the normal cycle lol and they also have true warm rinse if its a 5 wash rinse temp washer
and another of my choice center dial maytag harvest gold like pic with 5 wash rinse tem and fabric sofner dispenser lol |
