Now, pour up some strong coffee... The boring control panel. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...... One other "con" is that for portable operation, you of course use a faucet connector running to the cold water inlet of the machine. But the control panel does not "remember" settings, but powers up for...

Ok, I lied... I said I was done talking about it, but after Launderess loosened my lips with Bourbon...well, you know it goes...even cyber Bourbon is potent -- and I'm a cheap drunk. Well, the new Kenmore is here. Pros: 1. Does a good job from what I can tell. 2. Loooooong spin out, but...

Dave, Did you ever get the agitator/fabric softener situation resolved? I just bought, this past Saturday, the new Kenmore portable you posted above, to replace my leaking purgatory-to-repair World Washer. I am wondering if the agitator from my now bits 'n pieces World Washer would work for...

4D4 Rinses... ...I remember my Mother's old Kenmore pushbutton doing this number. If I recall correctly, the tub would slow down a bit (release the clutch on the spin, maybe?) spray, then go hell-bent-for-leather, de-cluth, spray, and repeat. Then it'd fill, agitate, etc. Maybe it didn't slow...

Swap the tubs... ...even with the different tub, someone on Craigslist would be getting a good deal on a machine repaired by someone who cared and knew what they were doing. That in itself is worth any price someone would pay. Everyone wins on that deal. You get a tub that helps preserve your...

Oh gawd... might take power again in the mid-terms? Did you have to say that? Just the very thought runs chills down my spine. You are so right about being "further to the right than ever before." From the link is this paragraph -- I hope it's okay to post this snippet: Civil Unions follow...

On the thread where I spilled my guts about the demise of my Whirlpool World Washer, there was discussion on "using enough detergent." Does anyone mind expanding on this? I'm getting a new Kenmore portable (i.e. Whirlpool), From the start, I want to make sure to use it correctly, not abuse it...

Four fingers of Bourbon... ...would suit me right down to the ground. Launderess, I see why you are held in such esteem around here! You appear at the right time with the right "recipe!" :-) Well...an update...my laundry is going to get boring. I bought a new Kenmore portable, to be delivered...

Sorry, but when something comes along like this... ...you make room. My thingie is vacuums, and like I need another one...but today a vintage turquoise Regina Wet/Dry vac with all the attachments made itself known. I'll make room, that's for sure! Somehow, someway... You washer guys are...

I used this as a portable.. ...and I'm done talking about it. Pretty disgusted right now. John

Ah... Well, as far as the world washer goes...it's dumpsterville. I can't have a leak, but for $300+ I can buy something else used. Thanks for the input guys. John

Yay! Another portable washer! And I vote with NorfolkSouthern....do not, under any circumstances (unless it's to me) get rid of this machine! Here in the apartment, I have my World Washer and a cheesy 110v Sanyo dryer. (I also have 2 full sized units downstairs). Currently, these two are doing...

They're just like us... ...as we get older, we start making strange noises. My 1 year (we think) old cat doesn't snore (yet). My 15 year old dog snores lightly. My previous dog sounded like a chainsaw when he got older. Sudsman, good on you for taking care of those cats. We think my little Ben...

And at that price.... ...they could afford to ship a Foodarama and still make money. If that thing sells, my mother will spin in her grave. She hated Tappan appliances. And I don't mean just hate, I mean HATE! Like when our Tappan double-oven was replaced (Early 70's model) Dad suggested...

Ah, gotcha... ...I'm learning a bit about bakelite here, obviously. Rich, thanks for jumping in and speaking up...because, it reminded me of something. Not only bakelite, but any cast material, such as aluminum (like the vacs I work with) you have to make a judgment call. How far to go with...

Argh...same size...really. ...sorry 'bout that...overwrote the after pic after cropping. Anyway...your call :)

A bit closer up... ...your thoughts?

Then... ...using the string buff and plastic-glo

Hmmm.... Well...for what it's worth, I pulled the bakelite base off my percolator... Here's the before shot:

Paul, The day my psychiatrist said when I discussed how I was feeling about a particular situation in my life at the time, "the emotions you are experiencing are.....normal" I about fell off the chair! My dx (diagnosis) is not bi-polar, but PTSD. Or should I say PTS, as I like the fact that...
