Is that correct? I've always loved those. What year was this one made? |

I saw the dry option and assumed it was a dryer as well. If anyone can provide more details on this one I'd appreciate it. |

Dry on the control panel = spin dry if I'm not mistaken, this washer has an "impressive" (for that time) 300 RPM spin. The clothes don't come out dripping, but.... |

Best wringers on washers or whatever gave results equal to about 250rpm spin speed in terms of extraction. So while the spin drying on those Westinghouse washers was indeed easier (on both the wash and Madame's energy), you still pretty much had sodden wet laundry. More so giving the nature of heavy textiles often in use then.
As we often discuss, the above was reason why early clothes dryers had such high temperatures. They needed that heat to bake out all that remaining moisture. *LOL* |
