I have had both designs, Whirlpool and GE. The GE has a higher compaction force and seems to hold more trash. It also keeps a firm grip on the compactor bag, whether you use a paper bag, designed for a compactor, a plastic compactor bag, or a regular trash bag. The container has a fold down...

Combo's statement that the GR design with the round bucket is "inferior" is a personal opinion. Having had multiple units o each, Whirlpool built-in and GE built, I find the GE 'round bucket' design to have several advantages. It has a higher compaction force than Whirlpool, the handle on the...

serial number The guy listing the range sent a catalog number and serial number, as posted. Anyone know how to interpret Hotpoint's serial number? They are different from the serial number composition of General Electric labeled products. It looks as if this range is a model lower in the...

Thanks Thanks for the research, Kevin!! Barry

Hotpoint stove listing Thanks, Kevin. I got the guy to change his listing from "1968 stove" to "1950's stove." The listed price of $500 might be somewhat ambitious, lol.

date Thanks, John. Do you think it could be as late as a '58? The guy I talked to said the manufacture's tag indicates it was made in '68. I told him that was not possible, that it was likely a nineteen fifties model. If there is a date code, he obviously misread it due to dirt or...

Is anyone familiar with this Hotpoint range model, and able give an approximate date of manufacturer? My best guess would be very late forties to early fifties, but I thought some of you could give an exact date. thanks... Barry [this post was last edited: 11/16/2024-00:35]

etching Etching occurs when metal ions are pulled from the matrix of glass. The high alkalinity of dishwasher detergent in solution is responsible. In general, water that is high in calcium content (often called "hard" water) can actually reduce etching. The calcium combines with the...

kudos on your achievement Robert, rarely am I at a loss for words, but I can't come up with the necessary superlatives to describe your achievement of the reproduction of those vintage parts. That truly is phenomenal. Those parts looks indistinguishable from the original. The ability to...

thanks That you, Robert! That's an impressive assembly.

What a find!! Congratulations, Robert on finding such a treasure. It's amazing what shape it's in! That tub looks as if it just came off the assembly line. I hope you will post a video of it in operation. The next time you have the back off, it would be great if you could snap some photos...

nice little washer This was the first washing machine I ever purchased, in 1979. It was in the "almond" color. It worked very well. I usually ran the clothes through at least one additional rinse, as the machine went from wash, to neutral drain, then immediately to rinse fill, with no...

negativity You may not see your negativity, Combo52, but everyone else does. A member is proud and happy to have found a Westinghouse item so you go off on how bad (based on your perception) some Westinghouse appliances are with phrases such as "some of the worst." This post was for a member...

combo52's denigration Thatwasherguy, Please pay no attention to Combo52's assessment of Westinghouse small appliances. It never fails, if someone gets a new vintage appliance and they want to show it off to us, if it's something Combo doesn't like he has to denigrate it. Apparently it...

Westinghouse small appliances Thanks for posting. I recently recently got a Westinghouse hand mixer from eBay, which was one of the last ones produced before Westinghouse divested its small appliance division. Those were the days when we had many U.S. built appliances to choose from...
