The ad copy describes the "automatic pre-treating " cycle. Did this become the "Magic Minute" later on? Also, what was the capacity of this machine? Thanks! |

I love the exclusive concentric agitation of vintage Kelvinator/AMC washers. They are as splashy as a 4-year old in a bath tub.
Magic Minute: I'm a sucker for gimmicks like this, but don't see how it really makes much difference. The tub is three-fourths full of water when the "automatic pretreating" begins, so the difference in concentration of the detergent solution is marginal. The best thing about the Magic Minute is that one can leave the lid up and watch the action. Once it finishes the fill, everything in the immediate vicinity gets a bath. File Under Special Place In Hell: Another wonderfully unique wash action killed off by the manufacturer's sale to White Consolidated Industries. This post was last edited 01/25/2020 at 19:55 |
