Just like on Frigidaire 1/18 laundry. They promoted it, too. |

While the concept of a removable console is commendable, the graphics in this ad are beyond moronic. The feature is obviously of benefit to service people - so the graphic would have been much better if it illustrated a service tech standing there with the console in his hand. As it is, it gives the impression that every housewife who passed home economics knows to remove her washer console at least once a month to dust and wipe up accidents.

Talking of "The Price is Right," Barry: here we have the infamous episode in which Barker's Beauty Holly Hallstrom has trouble with a Gibson refrigerator *ON SCREEN*. Trivia surrounding the show claims that she also had trouble with a Gibson dishwasher later.

Hilarious. Almost like a poltergeist at work. Door magnets must not have been very strong. |

Assuming she spends 6 hours a week, times 52 weeks in a year, and maybe she's a laundry slave for 25 years until the last of her 10 children marries, goes off to college, joins the army, etc, that's 7800 hours. And then just her and husband she does 3 hours a week for the next 30 years, that's 4680 hours + 7800 = 12,480 hours.
Where does the 15,625 hours come from? So many assumptions to make. How many loads of wash per week? How many loads did Maytag's Mrs. Matthew Gross do per week? |

5 Hours a week, for 60 years brings you to 15,600 hours of laundry. Hopefully not all of it done in the same Gibson set. |

Can still hear Jay Stewart from Let's Make a Deal say, "Gibson, one of the White Consolidated Industries."

My mother had a Gibson fridge after her coppertone GM Frigidaire fridge died around 1983 or so. It lasted several years and was still running when it was replaced by an Estate SxS from Sam's in early 2000's. The SxS is still going strong. I know it's a WP product. Our neighbor across the street got a Gibson dishwasher for mother's day one year. I don't know how it performed. I don't think she used it much. |
