Unfortunately, I do not have a collection, just my daily use machines which include a 2012 Kenmore Elite front load washer and dryer and Bosch SHE980 dishwasher. Would love to have the space someday to start a collection.
What are your dream machines yet to be found?
New or barely used Hobart KitchenAid KDS-17 or KDS-18 dishwasher
What are your earliest and favorite appliance memories?
I have been an appliance nut for as long as I can remember. I used to beg my parents to take me to Sears to see the washers and dryers. My friends parents hated to see me coming because I always wanted to check out their washers and dishwashers and I would always beg them to "do a load of wash" Eventually, I became more interested in dishwashers when I my aunt purchased a Hobart KitchenAid KDS-17 in 1975. My mom got a KDS-18 in 1977 and I was hooked. That was the best machine I have ever used by far. Nothing today even comes close. Maybe someday I will find one for my home.
What is the history of appliances you have owned?
Too many to list, I change appliances like I change my shoes. I have owned Kenmore, Whirlpool, Maytag, and GE washers and dryers. KitchenAid, GE, Kenmore, Hotpoint, Maytag and Bosch dishwashers.
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any major appliances?
