I'd brush those jeans off a bit first, then my trusty Maytag A606 would make quick work of having them clean and well extracted in a mere 28 minutes.

In my view, whirlpool basically made the same machine from the late 1940s to circa 1986.  They were good machines, but I wouldn't associate them with "advanced technology".    By all means Whirlpool deserves credit for the dual-action agiatator, but let's not foget that Maytag was first with...

My favorite plastic storage containers are from takeout chinese food.  The rectangular ones are usually marked "microwave safe".        

When I was a kid in the 1960s, the houses in my neighborhood were built in the 1920s, everyone had carpeting, most homes had gas ranges, many had oil/steam heat, and asthma was no where near as common in children as it is today.

Asthma is triggered by air pollutants and irritants https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/asthma/symptoms-causes/syc-20369653

Yes, a little drafty is good.  New houses are tight, people don't open windows, then they find they get asthma, get sick a lot, and can't have carpeting.

I find the Maytag center dial styling to be timeless, and it certainly holds up better today than many other designs, for example, machines with vinyl fake wood grain treatments.  Also note that chrome has made a comeback on new cars.

I believe that most brands 1966 and older had a rear pump and can be push started.  GM, Chrysler, Ford, and Borg Warner (used by Rambler and Studebaker).

Because I have a hood over my gas range with a powerful exhaust fan vented to outside I'm not worried, but with this in the news I have been more diligent about using the fan.   I'm sure there are many apartment buildings out there with gas ranges and no exhaust fan.

Kitchen Gagdet Here's my Foley Easy Twist jar opener.  It opens any stuck jar lid with ease.    

I don't see anyone being anti-electric, just pointing out that it's really no safer than gas.

According to a 2020 report by the National Fire Protection Association, households with electric stoves reported fires at a rate 2.6 times higher than those with gas stoves.

Interestingly enough, the 1977-1979 Thunderbird was the best selling Thunderbird of all time.

If you think the 1959 Rambler wagon was ugly, perhaps you've never seen a 1959 Ford, Chevy, or Plymouth wagon.   I had a 1964 Rambler American.  I got 235,000 miles out of it.

My 1978 Ford LTD Landau Coupe, the last year for the big LTD, lasted 330,000 miles.  With it's 351W 2-barrel it always got an honest 22 MPG highway.  It was a wonderful highway car.

Julia Child may have had an electric burners on television, but she had gas burners at home. I grew up with electric, but for those who didn't it's very different.

Reply #4 That's exactly the way I do it!   I've also noticed that the higher the thread count of the sheets, the more likely they are to form air pockets in the washer.    

I'd consider the old Maytag washers to be the Checker Cab of washing machines, good for 500,000 miles with no overhaul. And don't put down AMC, I've owned about 8 of them and every one of them held up better than the products from the "big-3" that my friends owned.

To me, IH refrigerators look a lot like the Sears Coldspot refrigerators from the same era which I believe were made by Seeger, which Whirlpool bought out in the mid-1950s.
