My favorite era of Maytag. A childhood friend had a great TOL ‘59 in their laundry room. We were often unsupervised and his mom would be thrilled to come home from work to find that a load or two of laundry had been done. What a treat—more for me than her, actually.
I stuck something behind the lid to keep it working with the lid up and loved how a full fill came almost up to the top of the agitator. The surface of the water seemed so calm during agitation compared to our ‘60 Model 80 Kenmore with its rowdy, preggers Roto-Swirl and waterfall lint filter. Thought the spin-drain was super-cool, as well. Much quieter than the Kenmore, too. |
