Looks like a 1964. The best of the best and the backbone that propelled Maytag to the top. Would love to walk into a store today and buy a few new in the box! And I know a lot of people who feel the same way. |

Well, timed fill would only allow the shorter the cycle, the less water could be used, vs. a longer the the cycle, the excessive amount--so the woman in that house obviously made the variable water levels a necessity and a " bonus" feature of owning hat Maytag--those boys and even her own MSN of the house, could make the need and size of laundry loads unpredictable, especially given how just finishing a load of clothes for those guys can immediately (so the drop of a dirty sock) start up again...

Funny that the ad mentions a nine-year old machine, yet they are all standing around a (presumed) modern-day ‘64 model, with no older machine in sight. That ad certainly isn’t from nine years later in the 1970s judging from the outfits — you would think they would show the old still going strong along with the new...

The gimmick in the ads was to show the new machine or washer dryer pair and play on the old machine's reliability. |

Sorry, I don't mean to sound that "anti-timed" fill... I just have a native misunderstanding about the concept, that I'm glad some of you had pointed out, before evolution brought out metered-fill...
In fact, I am intrigued by the 'one big knob, one small knob seen on such', even if my personal preference dictates a liking/disliking what the small one does... AW, seems to help me adapt to being open towards more as I read along, and to the point where there is no appliance that I DON'T like--or that is can't come to terms with or simply understand... (Now, to read over a critique from 30-years-ago on a movie video we wrote in school on TURTLE DIARY, on which I'd cited "two men getting into a brawl over a dirty stove"--and showing my fellow-classmates a very intricate drawing of an early-'60's GE Americana, (which I'd long-lost) for him to say, "the small area under that top oven would have conked the one guy's head" that I must'a wished the "You clean the cooker!" occurred under...) -- Dave |
