What are your earliest and favorite appliance memories?

How fresh and clean the washing machine always smelled. The noise the solinoid made counting down the wash cycle.

What is the history of appliances you have owned?

Grew up with a Maytag 206 washer and dryer (CA gold - guessing made in 70 or 71). Folks bought them brand new from Pentz appliance in my hometown of Marshalltown, IA. Served mom well for over 20 years before they were replaced in the early 90s with new Kitchen Aids which they still have. Wish they would have kept the Maytags!

Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any major appliances?

No but Id be more than willing to if I found my dream machines!
