I have seen Frigidaire Blue In the graveyard when I was at Plaza TV&A, We hade a 60's Frigidaire range in a french blue, sorta the color of blue jeans. I've never seen this color advertised. It may have been a custom redo, though this is not real likely in East St. Paul (working class folks) | ||

Yes, this was the last year of the Unimatic and the most flexible one ever offered. If I could have any Unimatic, this was the model I'd have. Suitable for all modern fabrics. (Robert correct me if I"m wrong), it had 5 wash temps & 3 rinse temps. Unimatic has this very same washer in his collection and I got to do my laundry in it at the Minnie convention :-) :-) :-) YEE HAW!!!!!!!!

Steve the '58 TOL Unimatic washer offers both "cool" and "cold" rinse settings. The '56 Unimatic I believe was the first to offer a cold rinse selection. As for wrinkles, I don't seem to have a wrinkle problem and I don't even own an iron. I find wrinkles are only a problem if you don't use a dryer or overload the dryer. I spin most everything out at 1140rpm no matter what machine its washed in and I'm not wrinkled, at least my clothes :) Slow spins and Perm Press cycles I beleive were really targeted at people without a dryer. Now that most everyone has a dryer, they designed the new Harmony to spin at 1000 rpm in the final spin for all but the most delicate cycles. | ||

Hi Steve, no you're correct about the '56, now that I think about it, the '56 was the first year to have a water saver control and '57 was the first year to offer a cold water rinse, in '58 they expanded it to "cool" or "cold" rinse. The Harmony has been out for about two years now. Check the archives in the Deluxe forum as there have been some discussions relating to that machine. | ||
