 As everyone here knows, I hate, Hate, HATED our '67 Snorge. As Bob mentioned above, instead of "Spin" that portion of the cycle was labeled as "Extract." I thought that was a stupid term and out of step with the times, considering top load automatic washers had already been on the scene for 20 years. Maybe a 1947 Norge would call it "Extract" but by 1967, everybody knew it as "Spin." Sheesh!
Another cynical "favorite" is the "Soak" cycle on a dishwasher. To me, something has to be submerged in order to soak. That is physically impossible with a dishwasher. | ||

Now, Ralph, there is nothing wrong with “extract.” At least Norge/Wards labeled the cycle something instead of Whirlmore getting lazy with marking their rinse cycle with just a dot or an asterisk..! :)
No one here has mentioned Westinghouse’s exclusive “Lock ‘n Spin” cycle...nor Norge’s fill plume spout labeled “Super Rinse.” | ||

One of the older brands of wringer washers, said that their wringer was "pressure cleansing." | ||

I like GE’s “V” series reminiscent of the automobiles at the time.

I liked our 1961 Westinghouse dish drawer dishwasher. It labeled it's heat boosting wash cycle "Power Soak." Even though it was an impeller type machine, it really did a good job. | ||

EuGene, my "other mother" across the street had that very same dishwasher and I remember sitting on the floor in front of it and just waiting for the timer to advance after it kept heating water. I still can hear the sound of it and the water moving around due to the impeller. That and a KDS16 were the only two dishwashers in that house for almost 54 years. It was originally a sea foam green Westinghouse kitchen. | ||
