The GE Lift-top dishwasher looks like it has a little port opening in the top. Did water still come out of it even though there wasn't a spinner blade attached to it? Was it capped off and you had to pay extra for the spinner and third level wash?

This thread reminds me of an episode of Mama's family where Niomi refused to iron Vint's shirt. Mama said tell him to wear his old shirt. He doesn't work hard enuff to work up a sweat anyway.

Beautiful! If I got that washer as a Christmas gift as a kid I would have wet myself.

If you need a mini basket I have one.

Is there a video of Fritz versus Speed Queen? I wonder if that is just a shadow on his left pant leg or something in his pants?

Were Gaffers and Sattler dishwasher any good?

The styling of it reminds me very much of the Beaumark appliances sold by The Bay department store here in Canada in the early 90's. Were these dishwashers cheaply made or just did not work well? Looks like it could hold a decent amount of dishes.

Wonder how the perma press was handled when you still just had a wringer?

Lizze Borden failed miserably at removing blood stains.

Good heavens! Looks fantastic! What was the washer used for? Was it for kitchen linens and table cloths? My Aunt did the laundry for the Catholic church 50 years ago in her wringer. Huge NO NO to wash anything with the alter cloths.

Just saw a Sunbeam lawn mower on the weekend.

I am sure that dishwasher kicked butt when washing.

That washer looks like it would give your clothes a right royal spanking.

Were Modern Maids popular at the time? I only saw one once. The dishwasher only had a lower spray arm.

It does sound disgusting but on the other hand 100 years ago overalls probably didn't go thru the wringer everyday. Mrs Walton probably didn't wash 7 or 9 pairs of overalls or jeans everyday. Probably didn't wash 10 pairs of underwear everyday either.

I like the agitator.

One appliance I could do without is a freezer. Unless you have a big family or are a hunter I just don't see the need for it. How many of us do not live within a twenty minute walk or drive from a grocery store. I find chest freezers are the worst. Who ever really sees the bottom of one and...

For nostalgic reasons I would go for a Beatty brothers wringer washer since the factory was 45 minutes from my home. I think those wringers were built as tuff as a Maytag. Several of the neighbour ladies had a Beatty and my grandmother had one. It was a Wash well. Big angle wing perforated...
