The matching dryer to this washer, does anyone have a washer? Would like to make them a set someday. |

I have the pair! I need to get the dryer back into service this fall (ie - repair that non-lighted door pushbutton. Can't have that now, can we??)

turquoisedude,....are these machines as heavy as they look ? Or heavier? lol. But seriously though, did Inglis have a version of these in the fifties ? I vaguely remember someone saying they did but am not sure. |

Are hard to work on, BUT they have to be worked on less than just about anything else,To my mind they are hard to beat, they wash better, rinse better, and are much less likely to get out of balance than just about anything else. |

"Oh, they're heavy alright... I realized when I got them home back in fall of 2011 that I was alone to unload them from the truck I had rented (I had help loading them). I still don't know how on earth I did it.... LOL "
Gravity Paul... Gravity... LOL And you were younger, stronger and prettier then : ) I am thinning still as I can't move these machines like I could 4 years ago. Down to 3 washers, 3 dishwashers and 1 range : / |

Speaking of washing performance to anyone who knows. How did WP rate overall in the fifties in CU ratings ? Were they near the top of the ratings ? Or were they usually middle of the pack ? |

Patrick, and don't forget the scrubber cap! That washer you described was my all time favorite, hands down. And I remember the Salvo tablets to use. Perfect combination. Perfect. |

You are correct, I have never seen a straight vane agitator with a scrubber cap either. Those were on the roto swirl and other agitators with the upper part of the model line up. |
