We have this Duo-Matic in the vented electric model and while it is pretty fast I think that only the gas machine would W&D most loads in under and hour.
It is amazing that almost 60 years later that the nearly hopeless combos being sold around the world today don't work nearly as well and most even cost more to run. John L. |

I think this is the most sophisticated, flexible Duomatic that was made. Loved the dispensers. Can anyone explain the washer cycle selector knob the difference between the Regular selection and the Wash n Wear? Maybe the final spin didn't go into the "high speed" faster spin. I still think it was a shame they got rid of the Magic Heater. John, I still remember seeing the comparable model (from a different year) that was in your basement at the 2002 wash-in. I don't remember seeing it in the museum/warehouse. |
