It is true...
I have seen ALL detergent prices increase in the last year. It is very difficult to find much better pricing of our favorites even at Walmart or Target! All detergents seem like they have been price-fixed! I makes me sick, to say the least. Everything is going up except our...
The Color
That is not "teal", it is aqua/turquoise! Teal is quite a bit darker, the closest thing to that would be the 60's Whirlpools in shaded blue, but with a bit more green in it.
Tom, if I drink hard water...
I would get totally constipated! I hate hard water, it screws with my innards. Anytime I go to visit my friends in VA, I take a box of prunes with me! The "stiff things" will come out the rear, and not stick-out the front either, so the water is not a substitute...
To Bud About Huebsch/Speed Queen
I know you highly praise your washer. I remember back in 1997 in GA with my sister, I saw my FIRST Amana front-load washer. I vowed to buy one because it looked like an "old-fashioned sort-of goody". I shortly found out early 1998 still down there, that the...
WOW PAUL!
Haha! Yes, I surely remember that Dupius Freres store on SteCatherine! My brother and I also saw our first pair of Pony brand sneakers there, I was so tempted to buy them as they were so cool! I do also remember seeing Belanger appliances there, too. I was last in Montreal August...
The Closed-Water System
Tom, I will have to look at the article in my magazine to tell you about this supposed recycling. I actually don't think my former friend's dad's laundry had that system. Maybe that Buffalo location used the closed system out of desire to experiment. We shall see...
Thanks Guys!
I appreciate any illuminating feedback on my questions, you guys are the best! Yes, Mr. Gansky, please do scan some sales literature for those combos! They are so elusive, because I never saw many of them. Thanks Tom for the clarification about the Easy and SQ's! I have SO...
The Kenmore WD & Monkey Wards
OH those machines are BEAUTIFUL! Kevin, you are SO lucky to have the Combo, and I wish you best of luck with it! I sure hope we get to see these machines in action!
Jason
Hiya, Charlie!
I don't ever remember Violet Ray machines being made in front-loaders. It is quite likely that the laundry gutted the old top-loaders and put-in new, then-modern front-loaders. It could very well be that they never bothered to change the signage! BTW, I really like your...
OMG
I would never expect the Norge Combo to wash & dry 18 BATH towels, especially not today's HUGE ones! My machine is 4.5 CuFt and cannot handle that! I don't wash more than 6 pair of jeans at once either!
All old Norge front-load machines did a spray-tumble wash/dryclean from a...
Has anyone besides me ever seen a Violet-Ray Washer-equipped Laundromat? I specifically remember the machines were "Franklin-Style" ones, with oval glass windows and a ultra-violet lamp built-onto the lid, to shine-down upon agitating laundry. These machines used a closed-system recycling-type...
Coin-Op Frigidaire Washers and Drycleaners
I used a Frigidaire-equipped Laundry back in 1977 in Hicksville right before we got our 1-18 pair. The washers were aqua, had the round window and "Jet-cone-type" agitator with no cap. I have never seen another modern Frigidaire laundry that I can...
Beam/Franklin offshoots
I know that the Beam/Franklin brands included AMC, Bradford, Coronado and Wizard. While I have seen Bradford and AMC sold at local Long Island W.T. Grant, and A&S & Gertz respectively, I never saw any in action.
Bud, stick with your Huebsch!
You obviously got the machine of your dreams, I have not! NA-made stuff is no longer made well, sadly. I would never buy a SQ or equivalent front-loader. I have yet to try the fairly-new top-load SQ's in my apartment building laundry room, but I am not too eager...

Chris, many Korean-made front-loaders like my Samsung are slightly DEEPER than most US machines, with very few exceptions. Same goes for the height, my Samsung is about 2+inches higher than our old Kenmore TL.(look at my photo) The...
