World's first top loader automatic That's Kenmore's first automatic washer(1947)-I believe it's also the first top load automatic washer ever made.

No,these aren't mine. But I remember them NEW in Firestone stores in the 1960s.(for you youngsters-yes,they really sold the full line of Philco home appliances.Goodyear sold GE.)

...but had a control panel similar to this BOL model and knobs just like it(except timer area was black).I can't remember if it had pushbuttons or not,but it did have a wash and wear cycle and water saver control.I think the console was on postsBut none of these 3 machines resembles it exactly...

...but resembled the console more like this 1961 Duomatic...

When I was growing up in the 60s the first washer I remember was our Philco-Bendix Automagic. I believe it was about a late 1960 or 1961 model. It had a lighted console like this...

Forgot to mention that I remember Hazel with a O' Keef & Merritt stove. Does anybody remember the movie with Bob Hope moving into a subdivision. He oversuds the front-load washer that I later found out that it was an O' Keefe and Merritt combo(didn't think that was available nationwide).

Beverly Hillbillies had O'Keefe & Merritt gas built-ins. Anybody remember the indoor gas barbecue grill? Think it was a Waste King with a Vent-A-Hood. I only remember Donna Reed with the Kenmores. I think they had a built-in gas cooktop and an oven from an eye-level gas Classic range.Didn't know...

Reminds me of those Sears demonstration models with the clear front in the appliance department. Remember those?

looks just like a recycled 1956 GE.

GE ripoff Bought a "never used" GE Profile in 2000 from a used washer rebuilder(a Whirlpool/Kenmore specialist).When it began having problems,I found out that the model and serial numbers had been removed because the machine had been assembled from three damaged machines and he(or someome)...

When I was a kid in the Sixties we had a mid-to late 50s Firestone electric dryer.There was no console.It was just a white box with a red 120 min. timer knob(script graphics) on top on the upper right hand corner,just like the flattop GE machines (and some BOL economy Kenmores). Metal...

single heat setting Forgot to mention that my Inglis dryer has the automatic dry cycle as well as a 30 minute timed cycle(w/damp dry cycle at the 25 minute mark).Both timed and auto dry cycles have the cool down.The instructions say to use the automatic dry cycle for most medium and heavyweight...

I was trying to find out exactly what is meant by this over-done cliche(by temperature in degrees F.)on fabric care labels. I think that I figured it out and believe that it dosent mean a lot: You see,I have a brand new Inglis IGX 3000 gas dryer (5.9 cu. ft. drum,one temperature;"high heat",NO...

Wanted to find out what was the first dishwasher made with a water temperature boost. Also I read that the first dishwasher was made with a heating element for drying in 1940. Who was it? Read that GE introduced its Calrod unit on its 1951 models.

electric cooking I believe it is about a 1952 model. Early electric ranges like this were always extremely rare here as nearly everyone here cooked with cheap natural gas. It wasn't until about 1956 when GE force-fed builders on the idea of installing electric built-ins in new homes that...

pics Sorry,no pics yet. I can download an official GE photo if you like.

While researching the purchase of my portable dishwasher recently,I found out that retailers here in metro New Orleans are no longer carring portable dishwashers in stock-in fact,most(except HD and Sears)don't even carry display models.They point you to a book,a brochure a web site ,call them a...

Just bought a new GE portable dishwasher at Lowe's. I tried it out this past evening and it really works well,althought the dishes weren't that dirty.Works far better than the old D&M 1983 Kenmore we used to have. Came with trial pack of Cascade Complete. Filled up rinse agent dispenser with...
