What are your dream machines yet to be found?
It would be great to have any of the washers of the sixties like my grandmother used to have. Or the Solid State push button Kenmore washers that came out before the computer touch washers. Also, the Kenmore washers with the dispensers and extra rinse(Both dial and push button). And the ones with the speed selector switch.
I would love to have a mid 1960s Kenmore washer that agitates and fills at the same time in the Perm Press Cycle like my grandmothers did.
What are your earliest and favorite appliance memories?
When I was 1 or 2 years old, my mom would let me add the detergent to the filter-flo-pan of our late 60s/early 70s top of the line, brown GE washer, and then I got to pull out the control knob and start the cycle.
What is the history of appliances you have owned?
I’ve had too many to mention. Some include:
Black Kenmore w/ the computer touch screen (about 1994)
Old Kenmore Pent-a-swirl w/ programmable knob controls, detergent dispenser, and a hidden bleach and fabric softener dispenser that were hard to get to, but they worked. (60 or 70s)
My grandmothers white Kenmore w/ the swirl agitator (60s)
Maytag top loader w/ computer controls (about 1995)
