If you get one In good shape, All you have to do is use at and see the superior performance, Especially a Kenmore/Whirlpool belt drive, A Norge or a GE, Just NO comparison with todays cheaply built flimsy stuff. | ||

You're putting your laundry in a machine that is functional, hard working, and at least pretty to work at...
Being a good D-I-Y'er keeps her up on her feet, working everyday, ignoring energy costs leaves you w/ the feeling that w/ larger capacity, you are getting your laundry done--and done right the first time, not doing over... So, you definitely blur the lines between what machines are most economical, best performing & reliable--Universalize all makes, models and years, making all equal and nothing better, nor more important, going beyond what Consumer Reports ever could teach you, especially given the hot mess it is today, as is the racket of new appliances, that quickly get used up & discarded at such a faster rate & no where near as worthy as rescuing yesterday's treasures are, Today... -- Dave | ||
