Interesting article but I will never buy a Front Loader without a pump filter access door. https://www.fastcompany.com/90904159/why-patagonia-helped-samsung-redesign-the-washing-machine"

Respect must be paid In my humble opinion:   The Maytag family won US service awards for aircraft parts that helped the WWII effort; don't forget the significance of that when talking about their appliances which were some of the finest stuff the US has had to offer. And Maytag made and sold...

Looks more like "Brushed Chrome" That basic design of  GE FL dishwasher was around for many years; some of the iterations were MOL's and different panels, including Stainless Steel and Brushed Chrome were available. This one has/had a Rinse Agent Dispenser; looks like they misplaced the cap...

That Hamilton Woman Yes, a quick plug for one of my heroes, the late great Margaret Hamilton.   That said, we moved into a farm house once (heaven) that had a 1953 Frigidaire Unimatic Custom Imperial and one of the first Hamilton electric dryers. I was too young and too callow to appreciate...

Difference? They weren't even trying here. The only things I can spot are that they used the Hotpoint-style knobs and I think I can make out a "Hotpoint" badge.

Sights fixed on Frigidaires Preferably a WCIK, Definitely a Filtrator   I've owned a few Frigidaires and they've all been good performers and I like a machine I can "set and forget" and one that can spin most of the water out of the load if desired. It would be very convenient, at this time...

I am refining a lot of old illustrations and I'm focusing on GM Frigidaire machines. I need a lot of help with these machines so I'm going to post these questions one at a time hoping to solicit responses, images, maybe cut-sheets that aren't in the archives yet.   Right now I'm focusing on...

Ancient Chinese Secret, Huh? Thanks to all of you for the information.

I just bought a pail of Sodium Tripolyphosphate from the Chemistry Store and there are no instructions on amounts to use. How much of this stuff should/can one use in a typical load of laundry? And can you mix it with all the non-phosphate detergents from the grocery store?   Please advise...

Metal tools not so great for the cookware One of many valuable things I learned working in a French kitchen is to avoid metal utensils, especially ones made out of aluminum, with cookware. Metal utensils scrape the tin off of classic Copper cookware and are bad for non-stick coatings. Also, one...

Solid tubs go to the beach When we lived in a beach community, almost all of the families purchased second-hand washing machines and, because this was during the early Sixties, that meant that all of them happened to be solid tub machines. Being interested in washers I was aware of who had what...

Rollermatic Rapid-Dry and Filtrator mate I'd love to have this pair for my Daily Drivers:

The life and times of the much-maligned Sensi Temp We had a GE cooktop with hood-mounted controls for 16 years when they sold the house. The bottom RH side bank of buttons controlled the front 8" Sensi-Temp burner. That burner's temperature control was a "Dinner Dial" that was mounted next to...

Beautiful set I wish I had your talent.

Aferim! Glad you got it. And thank you for all the pictures, especially the ones with the rating plate (why in the world did GE decide to mount them upside down on the Solid Tub machines???) and the lid instructions.  These are dandy machines with interesting quirks. Bottom line: they get the...

Wow! So George had a competing wall mount that could compete with GE! Pity wall mounts like these fell out of favor. Conventional big box fridges demand too much space, and having worked in many restaurants I like the idea of having a variety of small units in convenient locales that can be...

As much as I still respect the Maytag Family, here's Maytag A Go Go (Was NBC's "Laugh-In" a style icon in Newton, IA??).   From a brochure on eBay; I tried to upload the link in Shoppers Square but it wouldn't accept it.

I hope whoever got them appreciates them Whether they're A's from '65 or B's from '66. I'm betting '65 because, IIRC, that was the last year you could get Petal Pink GE appliances.

You have the first shot But if you decide not to, I'd love to get them.
