    POD 8-2-18 Kenmore 800 Washer

    like Frigilux i grew up around Kenmore, whirlpool and maytag, but always had "Frigidaire envy" feeling like they were somehow better, maybe because the jet action, etc made them different. anyone else feel the same? Maybe it was because the only person i knew who had one was my aunt who...

    Is Frigidaire leaving the laundry room?

    hope springs eternal i'm still praying for the return of the 1-18. in the meantime, the 1973 model i have keeps chugging away.

    Expert Poll: best classic washer ever?

    Frigidaire all the way! From unimatic to 1-18 the action, the panel designs, all were the best in my opinion. Too bad jet action can't be revived in new machines today.

    Vintage Frigidaire Electric Range - Red Poppy - $150 (Independence)

    loud though i have to laugh when i see these setups with the washer in/near the kitchen. My aunt had her 1-18 in the kitchen and every time you called after she answered she had to stop and shut the washer off so she could hear what you were saying!

    Pics of the 1963 Frigidaire Imperial washer

    looks great! Love the design on this! did you say a family member had a similar set? I have a set of early 70s 1-18s like my aunt had and always think of her when I use them. Enjoy!

    Nice pair of Maytags

    i'm betting late 60s My grandmother had this same set when i was very young and i would say that they bought them in 66 or 67 or no later than 68. They had a grey tub, black agitator and aqua colored lint filter. And the on/off switch at the back of the lid so it stopped when you opened the...

    Favorite Vintage Appliance Designs?

    Frigidaire 1-18 is my favorite. I love the jet-age branding...the jet cone agitator, jet flow lint filter and jet action of the machine. I think the jet cone is very modern looking, even today. Also like the look of the consoles of the early 1-18..very sleek, lots of chrome, etc

    1-18 fill adjustment?

    ok you've convinced me to leave well enough alone rather than raise the water level. It's so nice just to see a washer that actually uses water to clean clothes. I live in a building in NYC that is all high efficiency machines so the only time I use the 1-18 is when I'm back home like I was...

    1-18 fill adjustment?

    Is there a way to adjust the fill level on a 1-18? I thought I read somewhere here recently someone saying you can that by adjusting something internally on the machine. Mine fills as expected using the control on the console, but it would be nicer if the maxi level filled all the way to the...

    Mammoth Morning Read ~ POD 1-18 ~ November 15th, 2017

    1-18s Mickey- 1-18s are my favorite machine as well; would love to have one of these TOL 3 speeds some day. I have a much lower end model from around the same time(early 70s) and it still does a great job with many fewer bells and whistles. This is also my favorite control panel design of the...

    POD 10/30/2017

    Anyone else notice how Frigidaire is noticeably absent from the list of leading automatic washer manufacturers that tested and approved Dash? I wonder if this means that a Frigidaire could create a mountain of suds even with low-sudsing Dash...lol

    good DW i have a friend who bought a house in Sherman Oaks, CA and this exact model is in the kitchen...still used for daily use. The door feels like it is made of solid lead compared to today's appliances. He wasn't so thrilled about it but i told him he has a gem. the house also has a...

    Extra Rinse..."Yes or No"

    no i agree with Mickeyd...in a Frigidaire 1-18 you don't need a second rinse. Many times after the initial rinse during the spin, the rinse water of the deep rinse is pretty clear. Then they get another spray during the final spin. That's enough!
