I found this beautiful machine free on Craigslist. A 20 min drive from Niagara Falls to Buffalo. This machine came from a cluttered basement of a beautiful 2 family home in North Buffalo. The 35 year old business man left it behind after he and his wife moved out saying they bought a home with a FRONT loader washer dryer in it. I brought my friend with muscle and of course my muscle lol. I opened the lid there was enough tide plus a touch of downy poured all in the bleach dispenser to washer ten loads of clothes all caked on!! I took it home and washed it off test filled it..washed so quietly!! Nice woooo wooooo sound but quiet!! Took me back to eighth grade when my friend and I walked in her home I heard the sound of a "whirlpool" clicking on to spin!! When I investigated it was a double duty!! My question is is it a good daily driver ? And-- how much better would it clean than my direct drive ? Kitchen aide & kenmores ? What year is this? So heavy too 😄

you got an Imperial there, most likely TOL with everything on it...5 or 6 cycle, variable water level, 5 temp options....or course two speed
that double duty will scrub anything.... .....and last of the belt drives.....1983-86.... give us the model and serial, and we can be more exact..... this will make a great daily driver..... many parts still available.....but if it ain't broke, don't fix it.... eventually someday you may need a belt or pump.....but don't sweat it until its needed..... nice find there....... |
