Googled it. Hit a 1966 newspaper ad for it, price $399.95. Per the online inflation calculator, in today’s dollars that was a $3000.00 machine. Imagine that!! Do any club members have one? If so, photos, stories about how found, and comments please! | ||

Hotpoint Variable Speed Washer Actually HP, [ and Easy ] Norge [ and Wards Signature ] and Kenmore all used a GE variable speed motor to give an infinite speed selection between hi & low which was very relible, only GE Filter-Flow and Frigidaire washers used a troublesome variable speed clutch.
However this feature didn't last long on any washer because it was completely useless, better machines already had three speed motors that gave a good hand-wash gentile agitation, this was a classic case of the men in advertising thinking they had solved a house wives biggest laundry problem, LOL.
