    BASED on POD 10/13/2019

    I am more interested in this "Variflex" agitator than in the rest of the LK...sorry, but true. Anyway, was this a real improvrement or just a gimmick? To me, it seems like more of a gimmick than a real advance in agitator design. Also, was this shade of green a real thing? Limited edition...

    Fare-thee-well oh crock pot mine?

    Every new slow cooker I have seen in the stores comes with a removable liner. Give it a fond farewell pat, or keep the liner and plant something in it, bring it in during the winter if you must. Lawrence/Maytagbear

    GE 4 in 1 grill?

    That--- "Buy It Now" price is absurd at 44.00 and change! I have been given two Foreman grills at different times by different kindly folks, and I gave them, unused by me, to others who had expressed an interest. Lawrence/Maytagbear

    Need Help Identifying Appliances/Electronics: Late 1950s

    I agree with Eddie about the TV, but am more certain. My maternal Grandparents had a very similar TV, but in the blonde wood popular in the 1950s. Lawrence/Maytagbear

    Westinghouse washing machine 1940’s???

    A suggestion-- and ONLY a suggestion: Take a LOT of pictures. Without other documentation like instructions or a parts list, clear photographs will save headaches and other grief. Welcome! Lawrence/Maytagbear (We absolutely insist on enjoying life.)

    Is powdered detergent safe for dishes?

    I have lived in five apartments since we sold the house, and NONE of them had windows over the sink, so why not use the machine?? Each to his own. If doing dishes by hand is for you, more power to you. It does not Thrill me, or bring me much Joy........... Lawrence/Maytagbear

    Dishwasher advice for Sarah's mid-century kitchen

    Sarah........ do you have experience living with a septic syslem? Having a modern dishwasher reduces the number of costly pumpouts. This can be a consideration if more than 4 people live in the house full time. White front dishwashers are more nearly timeless. Plus think about the machines...

    Dawn Hand Soap/Diswashing Liquid? Confused

    Dawn................ has like a kerjillion varieties (almost said "subspecies") This one is plain old Dawn with a different color, a different scent, and a dash of an antibacterial, for those who do use Dawn as a hand wash as well as a dish liquid. I now am prone to very dry skin, so when...
