These are genuine Hoover product. I think Hoover Co acquired some small appliance manufacturer in the 60s?

They do indeed come with a tray. I bought that same model with the copper-style lid and it came complete. Those are good skillets and i love the cooking surface WITHOUT a non-stick coating.

On this Hoover skillet?? http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Hoover-Electric-Skillet-Fry-Pan-Vacuum-Cleaner-/310272067546?pt=Small_Kitchen_Appliances_US&hash=item483da807da

Foca. Look for the phosphated version. Not the one they have at Walmart. I love the fragrance. It smells like detergent should smell.

combo52 Have you considered writing a book? The title should be "Why You Should Hate Maytag".

SOMEONE is obsessed with Maytag...

My vote is for less detergent and very little softener. If its towels only (no washcloths) and hot water, takes very little detergent. IMO powder seems to give a harsher towel than liquid.

What Bob said...

Also, use some kind of rust treatment on the feet to loosen them up. The machine should be nearly impossible to "shimmy" into level-ness unless your machines feet or the floor itself is not quite right.

Mine is a very late version of the 913, thats why mine has the 918 coloring. These are only hard to push on loose or soft-padded carpet. Seen this link? And a pic you man have seen... http://www.vacuumland.org/TD/ARCHIVE/VINTAGE/2007/1630x10.htm

Very nice, Mr N.

so... where are the food pics?

You can work around it. A good powder like Tide or Foca is best. Load lightly so the powder gets distributed quickly. Use a longer agitation, or add a soak period.

Very attractive Sunbeam. Looks like a fleshtone beige on my computer.
