Those Hotpoint's are beautiful. We had Hotpoint but it was the BOL model. They washed very well, but weren't the most reliable machines.
I washed my father's construction clothes in these machines and got my arm caught in them once I had to pull the plug because there were no safety door locks then.If you don’t mind me saying, the first two posters didn’t even bother to provide pics, so those suggestions are nix’d out of hand. Unimatic1140’s pair are certainly sleek for the 1950s. Very pretty. But I don’t see them as 1950s Caddy extravagant styling, despite their sleek appearance.. The Westinghouse Slant Fronts had that in spades. But how about bumping even that up a couple notches? My proposed entry is the uber rare Commercial version of the Slant Front washer: The Westinghouse “Streamliner” Laundromat Slant Front model RL-1, (~late 40’s, early ‘50s). And Coin-op to boot. And yes, two of them (I was ‘forced’ to, it was a package deal). I also have the Westy dryer (thanks Tyler!)
Curves, sweeping lines, round glass port- what more could you want?
Whatcha think?
