Hi Mike! Yes, my son and his wife still have the 2006 Frigidaire set. They have run like tops, with one repair to the washer a few years ago (a new door latch.) They have a baby now and are planning to build a laundry room upstairs this year and get a new set. They will leave the Frigidaires in...

Thanks for the cool video, Mike! Happy New Year! Rich

Congrats on your new DW Kevin! Do you like having the top third rack?

That's cool! Did you notice the first was on a Tuesday in 1957, just like 2019?

Awesome! Thanks for the photos! Outstanding collection!

not an expert on this machine but I'll give my guess. I think the agitator was the Philco-Dexter angel-wing design that was used in their wringer washers and twin tub wringers. This angel-wing design agitator was used in the earlier solid-tub Dexter automatics and was replaced with the "blades...

cute story Dogs are amazing creatures. Last Christmas someone gave us a big stuffed snowman and this year I set it on a sofa. One of our schnauzers, Joey, immediately claimed it as his own. He sits with his front leg over it and snuggles it when he sleeps. He won't let the other schnauzer get...

we were a Westinghouse family too Grew up in Pittsburgh where Dad worked at Westinghouse's Bettis plant as an engineer. He received a nice discount on Westinghouse appliances and so just about everything in the house was Westinghouse. There were a few exceptions, mostly gifted items - like the...

Frigidaire missing? Not all manufactures packaged Tide in their machines in those days. Although Tide was a great cleaning detergent, it was VERY high sudsing. Of course front loading automatics like Westinghouse and Bendix did not recommend Tide. But a few top loading automatics like...

Awesome!!! Thanks, Robert! It's raining here in So Cal this morning and your video was perfect entertainment to watch with a cup of coffee! Such a beautiful machine! I just love fast spins and that fast activation is almost like a pulsator action. You are amazing!! Thanks again for documenting...

Lucille Ball is the voice of the Laundromat!!!

??? Anyone have any idea what the "deep power rinse" feature was in this wringer washer? I've seen some TOL wringer machines that spray water on the laundry as it goes through the wringer. This looks like a BOL machine.

Nice! We have the same color scheme in our laundry room, although our LGs are side by side instead of stacked.

Congrats Good luck with your new machines. The turbo wash was what sold me on my 3570 washer. The detergent solution is first sprayed onto the clothes and pulled into the fibers as the tub accelerates speed, then the tub slows and fills for wash and the sprayers keep the load fully saturated...

My LG 3570 did indeed come with rubber water intake hoses and they are mentioned as included accessories in the 3570 use and care manual. Maybe they are not provided anymore, but they were included with the machine two years ago when I bought mine at BB. From page 8 of the LG manual Included...

Not normal I have an LG FL with turbo wash and the machine came with two rubber hoses, one red, one blue. I got mine from BB but installed it myself using the rubber hoses. What did BB do with the red and blue rubber hoses that come with the machine? I've had stainless hoses on a previous...

The Maytag set is rare and in excellent condition. It will go for whatever someone is willing to pay. If this is someone's dream set, they would likely never find another and so it may be worth that price to them. Always start high and negotiate down.

nice work on those energy rings!

Hi Bud, Great work you are doing! I just want to suggest that maybe you post your query in the Imperial forum where more members who collect and restore vintage machines may see it. (Include your awesome photos!)

Vintage Tide Interesting article. I remember loving the smell of Tide in the 60's. My grandmother used it. But my mom couldn't stand the scent of Tide. She said it was "too strong and flowery and stunk." Of course, using a Westinghouse Laundromat to do her laundry, she couldn't have used Tide...
