this was known as the "Anywhere" dryer.....I think before the A50 washer came along..
it gave many people options of having a dryer, where normally you could not....granted not to handle a full size load from a washer, most likely split in half, but it would get you through in a pinch... I think the best part was the handsome spokesman..... | ||

So is what we are looking at how it can from the factory, or are those brackets holding up the dryer someone’s cleaver addition? If so they matched the paint well. This post was last edited 08/03/2019 at 09:41 | ||

Just saw Mike Farrell on an episode of Mannix recently
Yes, he was rather good looking.....
Maytag sold a chrome stand (that one has been dying to lay hands on), for their Porta-Washer and matching dryer. IIRC Speed Queen and maybe a few others had such stands as well for their twin tub washers and matching dryers. While clever, seemingly well designed and built, along with good paint job; that shelf is entirely after market by someone other than Maytag. | ||

JohnL or RCDrew would know for sure if this was a factory option....
my first Kenmore portable set I got, normally would be the chrome rack, and the washer would roll out from underneath.... somehow from the catalog, I ordered the wrong one, and got a set-up similar to this that bolted to the washer, and the dryer sat on top.....when all complete, it converted my two separate units to look like a ThinTwin…. in any case, must be some sort of hidden magnet or clip to hold the lid open.... | ||

Luckily I didn’t have to look very far to find one of my old home remodeling books, or search hard through any of the pages to find this article on the appliance, (next to it is an article on central vacuuming) the mounting, and even the compact-sized and full-sized washers under it:

Year of publication?
Am going with 1971.
www.amazon.com/remodeling... IIRC Maytag launched the "Porta-Pair" in 1970, and spec sheets/marketing/advertising material makes no mention of the shelf that goes above full sized washers. www.automaticwasher.org/c... | ||
