Looks like the first Frigidaire "pulsamatic" machine. Apparently this was a less expensive model introduced for people on a more limited income. They were a one speed, one cycle unit that worked pretty well. | ||

Fill? Was this timed or metered fill? I think it's cool looking. I've never used the low speed on any washer I've owned, for anything. Waste of choice for me. | ||

1956 PULSAMATIC THESE MACHINES WERE THE "BUDGET" MACHINES FOR FRIGIDAIRE. ONLY MADE 3 YEARS ('55,'56, & '57) - THEY HAD A FASTER AGITATION AND A SLOWER SPIN SPEED THAN THE UNIMATIC. | ||

Yes this POD is the second year of the Pulsamatic washer. The Pulsamatic (along with the and ABC/Kelvinator) are the quietest automatic washers I have ever experienced (with the exception of the 15 to 20 second water-throw at the start of spin).
I have the 1957 Pulsamatic in my collection and it's one of my favorite washers as my grandmother had the last of these machines, the'58 Pulsamatic when I was little in her kitchen. IMO the agitation is better overall in the Unimatic/Multimatic/Rollermatic models, but the Pulsamatic is super fun for sure!

Correct me if I am wrong, but I would swear I have worked on a 1960 BOL model that was a pulsamatic before. | ||
