Kenmore Series 90 Maytag a notch or 2 up from my current 710 so I could get a second rinse automatically. That filter is fantastic for pet hair! Any Unimatic or Apex just because they're so much fun to watch :-) Jim |

I've already got some of the true 'warm rinse' classics and if I had to do it all again, I'd still look for these vintage washers:
- 1951 Kenmore (or Whirlpool) Automatic - 1953 Westinghouse Laundromat - 1957 Hotpoint Automatic
If I had the chance, I'd love to get an early Frigidaire (a Unimatic, naturally).
And something that will soon be joining the collection - an early 50s GE Automatic!

I had to choose ONE AND ONLY ONE WASHER, it would be a late 70's Ex-Large capacity GE Filter-Flo with 2 speeds and the straight vane agitator. They turn over everything, best filtering, great rinses, and seem to just keep running and running. Other machines look better and are more fun and sometimes more highly optioned, but the FF's are great washers.
But who could live with just one washer? Dryer-----Any huge drum Whirlpool or Kenmore from the late 60's onward----2 temps, I don't need moisture sensing and am happy with the timer-versus-heat controls, I like the bell/buzzer and wrinkle-gaurd. Again, they are big enough for everything and just keep on going. And the filter lasts through the entire load and doesn't catch the dryer sheets like a GE. But who could live with just one dryer? |

Most of....because in the times agitator machines didn't have the atc and those silly electronic trinkets and all of those idiotic stuff, were also the times when these machines were made to work as they should as as i expect a machine would, and yes...last as well.
I am not an user of warm rinse, though real hot wash and ability to chose myself the right temp is what I care for the most, nothing can do it better than me.... I have a thing for kenmores and the whirlpool, i also like whatever whirlpoolish from other countries, malleys or brazilian brastemp, centrales, philips you name it, with belt drive and old wig-wags mechanism. I like the filter-flos or derived such as canadian beaumark etc, speed queen also, any maytag with fluid agitation, frigidaire with jet action, I like philco Ford, the kelvinators..the blackstone, norge angel wing earlier and later and the derived ones such as Montgomery wards, I like any older Easy machine american or mexican...ecc I am sure I forgot something but I'd see myself using most of these older good washers of when they were made to work and be happy with. I love them all, and each one of them has something beautiful to be loved...so i'd get what pass by...but if it's a 60s Lady Kenmore set with whatever agitator except a roto flex agitator I'd be more thankful...LOL This post was last edited 12/28/2014 at 13:32 |
