Now that was interesting to read, thanks Mel! One suggestion I found was to use a conductivity meter (also called a TDS meter or EC meter) to test the final rinse water. It measures the electrical conductivity of the water, which correlates with the amount of dissolved detergent and residues...

Sure looks like you found the one I got... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JB9B2QL?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

That hasn't been my experience Sean, I have found that towels are the least softest when they are: Not Rinsed Well, Using too much detergent for the machine type, soil level in the towels and/or load size, Overdried in the dryer or clothes line dried. I haven't found spin speed to make any...

Hi Mark, I took my entire gas bill (as a pdf) and uploaded it to AI. I asked AI to read entire my bill and then asked AI to calculate how much it costs to heat one gallon of water, including all fees and taxes. It came up with this enormous formula then at the end AI spit out $0.00923 to heat...

"One big thing thats not entirely factored in the full run of the toploaders" Absolutely, MrStickball — I couldn't agree more. Proper water extraction is critical for several reasons. I really should have weighed the towels before and after washing in each machine to compare extraction...

Posting this in Deluxe as my older LG is part of this test. I purchased a 100AMP electrical usage meter similar to the Kill-A-Watt meter but it is able to withstand much higher amperage than the Kill-A-Watt. I killed two of those meters trying to measure a Unimatic going into spin at 25amps...

That commercial was beyond fabulous and it is the first time I've ever seen it! I only know of two other Frigidaire washer commercials that have been found, one from 1950 and the other from 1957. I hope more show up in time.

I had that dishwasher in my kitchen for about 3 years Paul and really liked it. It was one of the better cleaning impeller dishwashers, this and the Hotpoint impeller cleaned the best. It was also very quiet as I remember.

I'm also positive that a 1947-1970 Frigidaire, ABC-O-Matic/Kelvinator Orbital and Philco Automagic washers are gentler on clothes long-term than modern front loaders with their large drums that drop clothes on many of their cycles for nearly an hour or more.

My experience with small items going over the tub in a Unimatic, in 30 years of using Unimatics on a weekly basis it only happened once to me and it was a small cleaning rag, it has never happened to me with socks. I wonder if that has to do with severely overloading the machine? I always...

Wow what a beautiful machine, I assume this is a top loading H-access washer? Love the little round window in the lid.

Thanks Jamie! I actually made a set of all turquoise cap and rings for my '57 Control Tower washer (they were originally all light gray as the colored rings didn't come out until 1958), I think a turquoise pulsator to match might be in order!

So one of my big projects for this year was to recreate the big 1955-1964 Frigidaire 3-Ring agitator Pulsator. Last year as some will remember I created the caps, lint chaser and circulator rings on the agitator so this year is the pulsator. I have one new old stock 5432199 Pulsator left in...

Hi Scott, this afternoon I let @Alan know which members to check to see if their upgrade was counted during the transition. You're name was on the list I sent Alan.

and if you're referring to the '61 Hotpoint here it is...

Sure Chet, not exactly sure if you're talking about the '58 but here it is...

The 1958 Frigidaire Unimatic & Filtrator set is also a contender as some have mentioned, I had these in my kitchen for several years until the '57 Control Tower set showed up one day...

Oh yes the '61 top of the line Hotpoint automatics should also be included in the running!
