BobbyDeregis: Thank you for your kind words, very much appreciated. I also think that Speed Queen's are built like a tank much like a Norge/Borg&Warner or even the Fedders Norges. The only thing that I could falt Frigidaire on or Electrolux on is the indexing tub I wish that they would put a...

Buying a new Washer. When people ask me what I recommend I ask them Two Questions? Do you want a Front loader or a top loader? How much are you willing to spend? If you are looking for a good quality top load washer and are a semi tight budget then I would go for a top load Frigidaire. These...

Re: White-Westinghouse The answer to your question, Is White-Westinghouse owned by Electolux? the answer is yes. They also own Tappan, Gibson, Kelvinator, Philco. In Australia and Great Britian it is known only as just Westinghouse. I hope this is helpful PeterH770. Oh, before I sign off they...

Re: Magic Chef washer This washer was a Fedders/Norge made machine. I'm guessing aroung Mid 80's as it looks like the Montgomery Wards washer that I had and I bought It in 1985. Thats when they recessed the water fill spout. It should have a 3/4hp. motor and a commerically proven transmission...

Re: which washer to buy? jmirawm: My advice would be to shop around check out Sears because they sell other brands now, also check out Frigidaire and/or Speed Queen these two brands. One thing about Frigidaire has come up in quality and have kept the price moderate come paired to some of the...

Re: Kenmore washer second one down form the Lady Robert this is the washer that I grew up with the only thing was that instead of it being the 800 ours was the 700 because ours didn't have the suds saver on it. But it was the same looking at it. Only had this machine for 8 years and was no good...

Re: Norge washer Thank you Swestoyz for a most enjoyable video. The Norge/Wards washers were and have been my favorite for years. I think that they are the best washers by far. I had a Wards washer and it was the best one me and my wife have ever owned. We used to yards sales and people always...

Re: range/dishwasher combos: I remember a game show on NBC called Sale of the Centuary. Some times they would have compact kitchen or effiency kitchens and the range/dishwasher combo would be one of the items, along with a Westinghouse Front loader and stacking dryer A.K.A. a stack pack. The...

Re: Washer and Dryer ctrn08: My advise to you is to send them back and get a Frigidaire set. Either in Front load or one of their all in one units in top loading, (although these are very few and far between, but may still find one somewhere). Frigidaire has come up in quality and has kept the...

Re: Who Makes the biggest Dryer? Well it used to be Norge with the 8cu. foot drum and the 21in. steel fan in the back of the drum. Now a days it would have to be Whirlpool with their 7cu. foot drum. As far as the fastest it would have been Norge back in the 70's and early 80's but now a days I...

Re: Frigidaire washers I was at sears this last weekend and guess what I saw? It was the new Frigidaire Affinity washers and dryers at Sears. Is now selling them. "Oh Happy day"! These washer are really nice and this is what I want when our Maytag Neptune goes out. Electrolux has done some...

Re: Frigidaire washers Mulls, I couldn't agree with you more. Frigidaire has really come up in quality and kept the price down or moderate, which makes it the most practical buy. You can get a set for around $800 to $1000 dollars for both washer and dryer. The Affinities are really a nice...

Re: building the perfect washer I would like to see the design of a Westy Laundromat with a 4.5cub.tub and stainless steel drum and baffles. Infanite waterlevel control which the user adjust to their liking and a timer dial that has at lest 3 different cycles like, (normal, permante press, and...
