The tilt out you described was in the "energy house" of the future,at the 1984 Worlds fair. I do know it was heavy to pull open, not very user friendly at all. Hows things? arthur. |

Good to see you Todd! I do remember the stacking Speed Queens - 1984. I only remember seeing a couple of them, I think the Maryland guys have one. A b*tch to service, I'll bet. I loved the window in the dryer door, it went right through the center of the exhaust hump in the dryer door. The plastic tub washer you remember was a little earlier than this - around 1980-81 and were called the Contempo-Mates. There was a matching dryer, a little smaller than full size machines but the dryer was only 120v so not big sellers. I only saw them once at a home show. Speed Queen also sold a compact Japanese made washer and dryer similar to the GE impeller machines. Prior to this, they had a Servis made twin-tub and matching dryer. |

my sis had bought one in 1987 and she LOVED it !!, SS tub perfed, white plastic agitator, worked great for her for ten years, never a problem and she left it with the house when she sold it. |

It's a neat idea, but why would anyone want a washer that they couldn't watch? :-) |

so if the washer malfunctioned, with water in the basket, your f@cked? no way to bail the water by hand, and the hose is behind the heavy machine? i have visions of the entire thing falling forward. |
