GEs are Good I have a 2004 BOL GE top loader; it's a surprisingly decent machine, just DO NOT OVERLOAD! If I were to trade up, I'd seriously consider one of the Hydrowave agitator models like the ones in this thread. I'm curious, do thay have ATC, or is hot as hot as comes out of the tap? My...

Fascinated With Agitators and Lint Filters I cannot fully explain my interest, but I remember being fascinated with the agitator of my Aunt's Frigidaire washer; it went up and down and had a turquoise cap and yellow and pink rings. I also remembered noticing that my other Aunt's washer, a...

BOL GE Toploader Is Good Andrew, I have a 2004 Bottom of the Line GE Top Loader and matching Dryer. They work very well. The trick with the washer is to NOT OVERLOAD IT!!! The dryer is very good, as others have just stated. I paid less than $500.00 for the pair new. The Hydrowave is probably a...

I'd give the edge to the Frigidaire...and then there's that 1140 rpm spin speed!

Filter-Flo or Unimatic A tough call, but my first choice would be a 1957-59 GE Filter-Flo with the pink (57-58) or sea foam (59) agitator cap and the copper filter pan, and of course the matching dryer. My next choice would be a 1950-55 Unimatic Frigidaire with the matching Filtrator dryer...

To Bajespuma -- Reply #51 Yes, that is the EXACT same machine. After 8 years of use, Mom gave it to Grandma in 1968. It was still in service in 1988!

GE Filter-Flo I rember my Mom's 1960 GE Filter-Flo with gold trim on the back panel and a lighted control dial. It had a turquoise filter pan with a black three-vaned agitator with a black cap. I remember the lid being warm and the smell of the hot sudsy water when it was washing. It made deep...

Something Close on YouTube Have you seen Swestoyz's 1959 Kenmore Eighty video on You Tube? It might be a close.

My Next Door Neighbor Had One of These Robert, fascinating! I remember when I was a young lad in the early 1960s that my next door neighbor had a 1951 Bendix top loader with the rubber tub that squeezed the clothes rather than spinning them. She used to let me look it over. She had bought it...

Later Than 1964 -- 1968 Maybe A beautiful set, but later than 1964; 1968 perhaps. Looks like a set my Mom had from 1968 to 1999.

Lowes has started carrying the Haier RWT350AW top load agitator washer and the companion dryers, gas and electric. This machine has been out since August 2008, but until recently, I had never seen one; then Brandsmart started carrying them. Now Lowes does too. Are they gaining in popularity...

Mom Had Two Filter-Flo Washers Over 39 Years Total My Mom had two Filter-Flo Washers: a 1960 and a 1969. She gave the 1960 to my Grandmother, who ran it 20 more years. My Mom's 1969 lasted over 30 years. They both washed extremely well.  They removed a lot of lint. I was especially fond of the...

What are the odds that ANY 1958/59 machines like the POD are still around? (I can find nothing on YouTube...) Is anyone else as intrigued as I am about the old WA Wizards?

Consider the BOL GE Top Loader My BOL GE Top Loader (had it since 2004) is an inexpensive, reliable workhorse. It had been disparaged by some as a 'cheap, plastic, POS' but it just works. GE still makes it under their brand name and also as a Hotpoint. It can be got at Brandsmart for around...

Great for Boiled Peanuts I use my Presto for boiled peanuts. I got the recipe from a cookbook that came with the pressure cooker.

Can be Had New for Around $320.00 I have seen a couple at the Brandsmart in Stockbridge, GA. A new electric RDE350AW is around $320.00.

Filter-Flo -- Two Generations If I were home from college, my Mom's 1968 MOL GE Filter Flo; otherwise, my Grandmother's 1960 GE Filter_Flo.

Let's do the Splashy Kelvy The Kelvinator is known to have a simple mechanism, and the machine not only washes and rinses well, but also is gentle on the clothes. I'd get the model closest to Unimatic1140's Fargo Kelvinator. It has a clean, simple look and seems easy to operate and to have all...

More Vids? Robert, you say more vids? Can you do your 1962 Hotpoint? BTW, I really appreciate the enormous effort you make to maintain the site/club. I'm a new member and just getting to know everybody, but they seem to be a great bunch of folks.

Wurlitzer I have a Wurlitzer. My Mom got it in 1964. She gave it to me in 1996.
