Thank You ~ The charts are so enlightening, Ben; indeed there is a one-minute flush rinse they call a cool-down, but what has me dumbfounded is the short dry time: if you add up all the segments, they total 18 minutes! Am I reading right? The combo dries in a flash! Boggles the mind. How did...

My friend Maddog has that Frigi FL and gosh was it ever exciting on first seeing it in operation. A real Frigidaire full of the brand's legendary drama. After the wash drain, it plunges rapidly into a full flush rinse, then it rushes into a jet engine-like spin that ramps up immediately, with...

Nobody does it better ~ This is simply encyclopedic or magazine worthy, and the engineering for me is actually dizzying: the three chamber ballast, the spinning flushing detergent chamber--am I seeing things?! Look at how high up the load rides in the tub because of the very first, very low...

Oh my God, what must go on inside that box. And in TWO MINUTES!! (according to the link). If only we could see it all, especially the innards. Who wouldn't want one, but there goes the month's budget. Maybe John can get one from Hobart corporately for the museum in a sweet testing deal and...

For poops and giggles from "under-where the sun don't shine- clothing. :-)" Had one for a quarter century and loved it to pieces. Used it mainly all summer outside on the deck as a rinser for loads washed in one of the wringers. When the washtub belt broke, our Martin Yogitunes showed me how...

Happy Thanksgiving, Cimberlie, and ~ Thank YOU, Dear! Grateful for how you keep this ship afloat.

Hello John. Yes, this is the one I purchased from Jon Charles. It was sold as a set with the magnificent Imperialist washer. Tried the dryer once and something shorted out. I gave it back to the Blackstone guy, as an early Christmas gift. Don't mention it, Fred.

Saw one of these a few years back in one of the last independent appliance stores around here, and got very excited. Not a dryer guy, this is one that really caught my fancy. The stainless steel interior is shockingly mirror-like, and it is stunning, a bucket list item, for sure! Hear ya...

BOL/ LOL Kenny, yes, the ultimate, and Gordon loves these things. Maybe he'll see his favorite eye candy. Mid 70's + and -

Jesus, Mary, and saint Joseph, Jenkins That thing is mint! The pushbuttons, the styling, the wow factor: Kenmore really has no equal. Always cherished Whirlpool's humility in so often letting its Kenmore children win the pageant. Would love to hear the story. Thanks.

Look again, Robert ~ That's the double rinsing WO- 65, pre-dating the WO-65-2. The pilot light and the dial are dead giveaways. I spent my infancy and toddlerhood in front of one. Avid watchers see Unimatics for sale from time to time. Lucky enough to own two of them, one of which has a...

Preaching to the choir~ Hello John, Forget the economy and the green-ness, Sudsavers are just plain fun, so unique, such a brilliant engineering breakthrough, so interesting, and so damn dramatic, always surprised at the members who eschew them. As you well know, Whirlpool held up release of...

What wonderful dinner posts! ~ Last week The Young and the Restless, Phyllis's grand daughter revealed that Phyllis insisted she be called Phyllis rather than Gram, etc., which was amusing and striking to me because my grandfather Edmond, insisted that we all call him "ED," not grampa. Unique...

Tap tap tap ~ What time do you change into your cape and start handing out the miraculous loaves to the masses? Here are your Easter Eggs, old friend, the last one courtesy of Mennen for Men and Toppik hairpepperhairpepperhairpepper. Say it real fast like a crazy person--MOI! LOL. Happy...

Burger Loving Wimpy from Popeye the Sailor LOL. You had me going for a minute there, Louis, thinking, does he think I eat too many hamburgers, how does he know I like hamburgers, has Aworg gone full vegan and I didn't get the memo? Then.....OH, wait I LIVE in HAMBURG. PETE, Going to hide an...

Eddie, I drooled ~ Reading this a few weeks back, in anticipation of the imminent Easter feast, including the classic Polish dish of fresh cold bagged sauerkraut, fresh Polish Sausage from the Broadway Market, and crisp sweet sliced apples all baked together in the oven with a portion served...

Glad I made you laugh ! Think it's a fun and punky handle, Jeannine, brining a smile to someone clicking on Spacepig and finding out your name is Jeannine. Why not keep it since it's so edgy and wild. Pretty sure it was about three Good Fridays ago when you listed the Turquoise GM Frigidaire...

Oh, I gotcha,Tom, Thanks. The timer would be nice lest one forget and leave the iron running. Ouch! It looked way too new to have been the original, pretty cool and handy nevertheless.

panel; there ;'D No run-ons allowed. The punctuation police will be after me, LOL

Synchronicity In the fall, my niece and her new family bought a big old house in the once Tony section of North Buffalo with servants quarters and the whole 9 yards. I’ve been there a bunch of times but on the weekend Meegan had a party and called me into the old pantry to show me this relic...
