that was a big thing available back then, you had a variety of choices from a low budget model up to a high end machine with many options....
now your selection is down to a few models with a high price tag, not everyone can afford...... even if you got the BOL model, it was still a heavy duty base and mechanism, no matter how many speeds or options you got..... | ||

Is the primary difference between a Roto-Swirl and Super Roto-Swirl agitator the vertical ribs that run down to the edge of the skirt? (Thanks to Chris Pfifer for the photo)
We do have to remember that $400 back in the day was quite a chunk of change compared to $400 today. Kenmore did have many sale prices that made them competitive as well as their easy-to-get credit. Having said that, I do recall feeling duped when companies began asking as much for the dryer as they did for the washer. First noticed this when I bought the 2010 Frigidaire front-loaders. Same with the Maytag 8100's. Over $1,000 for a freakin' dryer?! | ||

Anything made in those days was heavy duty compared to today. Commercial technology means more commerce. | ||
