Fantastic thread on this restoration. Really enjoyed it. Congratulations, Ben!

Brilliant! Should be used as the company's advertising catch phrase. Thanks for sharing, Launderess.

Thanks for the info and sharing your service experience, John! Greatly appreciated. I quickly pulled the frozen raw meats and jammed them into the freezer section of the fridge. The upper half of the freezer is primarily filled with those entree-sized, blue-lidded Zip-Loc containers of...

The ‘High Temp’ warning alarm started beeping about an hour ago. I pressed the ‘Turbo Freeze’ pad, but the fan doesn’t seem to be blowing air into the freezer. I hear a hum, as if the compressor is running, but no air movement from the vents on the back wall of the freezer. It’s a frost-free...

Wow, that Bulova clock radio is very stylish!

Like others here, I’m a Clorox guy. My mom used Hilex. It was probably a bit less expensive.

I’ve been on a keto (very low carb) diet for a year, which has “reversed” my Type II diabetes—or at least brought my A1c back down to 5.2, which is solidly in the normal (non-diabetic) range. I’ve also lost a substantial amount of weight. Over the past few months, an egg white protein bread has...

A neighbor had this washer when I was a kid. I was impressed with the large tub and 20 lb. capacity claim. I remember lifting the lid while it was spinning and the gunshot-loud clank of the tub brake scared the crap out of me. I thought I’d broken something!

Congratulations on your new spinner! It’s very sleek. Hope you’ll give us a user review when you’ve lived with it for awhile.

My 2017 9-Series Speed Queen doesn't offer a warm rinse, but about four times a year I reset the cycle after the first spin, fill it with warm water, then choose the Rinse & Spin cycle. Handling the load as one transfers it to the dryer is very pleasant. Cold water is refrigerator-cold during...

Persil: I've always thought it's pronounced "PURR-suhl" (Purr as in the sound a cat makes). In the US adverts I've heard, they pronounce it Purr-SILL.

The testing organization we love to hate tested this model. Washing: Excellent Drying: Good (which in CR-speak means so-so) Noise: Very Good Reliability: Fair Let us know what you think after you’ve done a few loads in it. Samsung appliances tend to be well-styled and loaded with nice...

Love all the Thanksgiving-themed ads. Happy Thanksgiving, Louie, and thanks for all the wonderful food ads. Reply 71: That turkey-fruit salad looks delicious. Reply 47: What kind of heartless monster gives out raisins for Halloween?! LOL.

Always love to see vintage appliance ads from Sears catalogs! Thanks for sharing that with us, Brad. Reliability/Repairs: Our 1960 Kenmore Model 80 was handled with kid gloves, yet it was on a first name basis with the Sears repair guy--LeRoy, if you're wondering. The upside is that the...

Bob- Correct. The couple with the new front-loading Whirlpool 6620 pair purchased a house and moved out last month. I really liked the styling and features/cycles of the washer, but it developed serious leaks a couple of times--causing a 4-6 week wait on parts each time due to covid-related...

John- For, oh, maybe 7 years or so, CR tested each machine with both an 8-lb load and a maximum capacity load, then sort of averaged the two scores together to come up with the rating for cleaning performance. I thought this was great, although I'd have preferred to see both scores separately...

According to the testing organization we love to hate, the cleaning performance of the TR line has improved significantly since its introduction in 2018. I put it down to increased wash time. The cycle time (Normal cycle; heaviest soil setting) of the first iteration was about 50 minutes...

A young—mid 30s, I’d say—Hispanic couple moved into the apartment directly behind mine in our 8-plex. They had a new Amana top-loading set delivered and installed today by the local Whirlpool/KitchenAid/Maytag/Amana dealer. Their pair sits right next to mine in our laundry area/pass-through...

I concur with the others--a fantastic washer. Given the paper towel dispenser, you can absolutely claim you have a one-of-a-kind machine.👍 I just don't understand why someone would attach that to the front of the washer, where most people stand to load, unload, and operate it. It's certainly...

It's fun to hear about commercial laundry experiences. I've stayed at hotels at least a dozen times this summer and always find an excuse to do a load of laundry if there's a coin-op guest laundry on the premises. Thanks for taking the time to provide all the information and photos.
