We owned a White-Westinghouse stacked FL set with a gas dryer, that we bought new in 1987 for $995.00,and used them for 7 trouble free years. We sold them with the condo, and the new owner continued to use them for many years. The washer was the best automatic washer we’ve ever owned. The capacity was sufficient to wash our kingsize bedspreads and comforters. The cycle times were quick and the water usage was not wasteful, but not the barely damp water levels of some of todays FL”s.
In my opinion, this is just the way all FL’s should be made. Simple, quick and get the job done with enough water to get the laundry clean. Eddie This post was last edited 12/31/2018 at 13:35 |

I had this set in the late 70s. Banging solonoids would make you jump. Very good machine. However it would tie a large load of shirts into a very tight ball. Dryer was very fast. No trouble for the 10 years I owned them. |
