I'm in the market to replace/repair a broken washing machine. Before I make a decision, I'm wondering how practical it would be to find a nice ensemble of vintage washer/dryer for use as daily drivers?
I've always yearned to own a gear operated, vintage, washing machine. The kind that come in beautiful pastel colors, with illuminated panels and multi-functional bells/whistles. To be honest, the agitator-less, newer models "take me for a spin". How well do they perform in comparison to the older machines? Are they REALLY more energy efficient than their predecessors? Will they outlast their mechanical parents? Are they worth the outrageous prices they sell for?? Final question, in appeal to your passionate knowledge, where can I find a well priced, local, set? Thanks in advance for your opinions/input, Davey Wayvey |
