Bob, the Blackstone Combination Laundry is that LONG cabinet in the lower right of the Blackstone ad. It had the automatic washer and dryer all in one long unit. It would have been a real bear to move.
And the GE fridge had an ice tray that you flipped over to empty the ice cubes into the storage bin, it had a water line connection and I’m not sure if it somehow sensed, by weight maybe that it needed to be refilled, and automatically filled or if there was a button, lever or tap that the owner activated to refill the ice tray. I think there may have been another company that had a similar setup.. I believe that Whirlpool came out with the first fully automatic icemakers in the late 50’s or very early 60’s. Eddie |

My mother had a friend with one of those GE icetray fillers...it was slick! I was about 5 years old and it was my job to dump the tray--it just sat there minding its own business, but when you dumped the cubes it refilled. Don't know whether it was weight or what, but was slick and so much less complicated than the WP icemaker (and it made real cubes, not crescents).

Post 1005139 has an assortment of "end of year" models at "prices too low to publish" including the infamous NX wringer, lovingly nicknamed the Bluebell.
If you're new to Maytags, this model was a loss-leader, bottom of the barrel model that is so no-frills it's almost mean spirited. It's painted in gray primer with cheaper blue speckled enamel. The electric cord is cut shorter than the regular models: there's no hook to hang the lid on, the rollers are softer rubber, so the clothes come out extra damp for a nice long drying time. The agitator has no centerpost, just the base disk and vanes, so there's chaotic turn over. Sheets tend to be sucked down and never come up for air. No pump option. Oh yeah, just to be sure, I understand that there was NO commission paid on these machines to the sales staff. The bluebell was strictly there to lure you in with a cheap price and it was the sales staff's business to upsell you into an N, J, or E model. Brutally honest, but I can say it because my first wringer was an NX and like so many quirky things in my life, I love it. |

That Presto steam iron, and GE Mobile Maid dishwasher.
Presto iron came NIB; used once and left one kind of "Meh". So back in box it went and has been sitting ever since. The MM dishwasher is a tale everyone knows by now. If the thing keeps chipping and scratching my dish/glass ware it won't be long for this world. GE Dispensall: Always thought they were the coolest thing when first came out. Would stare at the television commercials and or gaze at adverts in magazines. Later on (after joining this group)learned they weren't all that wonderful. Apparently those dispenser lids had issues with rust or something. GE fridge with roll out freezer. Growing up ours was a huge Frigidaire with a bottom freezer (non rolling), but do remember those little ice cream cups. Mom would order a few boxes/cases when placing orders with Macy's "freezer plan". |

"Automatic" is quite misleading in that ad, it was basically a wringer washer. The clothes were washed in the tub at the front, then the user fed them into the wringer/rinsing contraption toward the rear. I have seen only one, in California a few years ago but it had been outside for many years and not in working condition. The rinser/wringer seemed rather complicated and prone to tangling/jamming, but who knows?
