I like the looks of these Hotpoints better than the GE models of that time. The only thing I don't like is the knobs. |

![]() Upon closer inspection of the photo, it looks like the dryer lint screen isn’t even in place...
My Amana washer has the same “self-cleaning” filter system as shown in the Hotpoint ad. However, when it kicks into spin, the water leaving the outer tub pushes up through the circular filter, dumping water back into the inner tub. I guess in theory whatever lint was captured should exit with the surging water to the outer tub, but there’s a lot of water coming into the inner tub — I’m sure lint and all! |

I suppose maybe the regular dryer was shown because it's size is more in proportion to the washer, and looks better. The extra large capacity model is several inches wider than the washer. |
