The dishes . . . . . . are sanitized by using only Hot water. Then for the laundry, the dishwasher tub and racks are removed and a completely different tub and agitator is placed in the machine. The only place any water is commingled is when the clothes water is spun out into the outer tub...

Great finds . . . . . . both the Kelvi and the Ironrite. I have two Ironrites and love them. I do all my shirts on the Ironrite. Once you learn a few tricks, they're a great way to iron. Good luck and welcome to AutomaticWasher.org. Jerry Gay

Welcome, Cody . . . . . . you're gonna LOVE it here. Jerry Gay

I wonder if the . . . . . . condensor dryer you're referring to at school was a Hotpoint. I remember Hotpoint made one in the 1950's that used water. I knew a lady who had one. She said that a lint trap in the bottom would sometimes clog preventing the water from draining, and when she...

As a kid . . . . . . MANY years ago, I remember using one of these. It was fascinating to me. It must be bolted to the floor. It reverses in the wash and rinse. It would be a treasure for whoever is lucky enough to get it. Jerry Gay

I use a . . . . . . 2006 Fisher & Paykel Intuitive washer and top load dryer. It's a great set. The washer has an agitator -- no plate. Jerry Gay

Hello Mark. It's looking great!!! Your collection is beautiful. I've got to get up there one of these days. Thanks for sharing. Jerry Gay

Thanks for the fascinating video I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video of the Fisher & Paykel Aquasmart. They are wonderful machines. However, I still prefer the post agitator as opposed to the plate. My F&P Aquasmart is over 6 years old and I've loved the machine. It performs...

Nothing like . . . . . . a Duomatic. You've got some great looking machines there. Congratulations on your find. I love using mine. It's a 1959 Philco/Bendix Duomatic. Works like a charm. Jerry Gay

Speed Queen dryers I have been told by a salesman that the new Speed Queen TL washers are still good workhorses, but that the dryers are not well made in that the tubs tend to fall apart in use. Just what I've heard. Jerry Gay

That's my guess . . . . . . Norge, Frigidaire, GE Filter Flo. Jerry Gay (All three solid tubs.)

I have this washer . . . . . . the Fisher & Paykel (rhymes with Michael) Intuitive bought in August of 2006. I am in my 7th year of trouble-free service from the washer and LOVE the machine. It chooses the water level OR you can manually vary it. It chooses the agitation speed and strength...

Way to fire, Leon . . . . . . Your TV segment was great!!!! Congratulations. Jerry Gay

Hello Mike No, we did not use the Thor as a suds saver. Anything more mechanical than a pencil sharpener was, to my mother, impossible. The Thor replaced a Maytag wringer washer. So it was a godsend to do laundry without having to deal with rinse tubs, etc. We used the Thor only about 5...

That's the machine . . . . . . I grew up with. We had it in the late 1940's/early 1950's. A fun machine. We could not afford the dish- washer, but had a neighbor who had one. It did a great job on the dishes. Thanks for saving this one and for posting. The Thor was very interesting...

I have had my Dishdrawers . . . . . . for the past 4 or 5 years with no problems whatsoever. They clean well, and it is amazing how much you can get in one drawer with a little ingenuity. As with any appliance, there will be a disadvantage here or there. For instance, I can't put a garbage...

Mine is a . . . . . . 1959 Philco Bendix Duomatic. It runs just fine and does the job.

My next door neighbor . . . . . . had that same electric sink in the early 1950's. It's a Hotpoint. The metal racks pull out onto the door together. You lift the top rack off and set it on the drain board. Load the plates, etc., in the bottom rack; glasses, etc., in the top rack. Then...

Very nice looking machine. Very clean looking. When I was in college in 1962, there was a Westinghouse Laundromat in Asheville, NC with about 20 of these machines. I was impressed with how quiet they were. Ross has one in Tucson. Maybe he can help with the age. Looks like a lot of fun for...

I've never seen . . . . . . one of these dryers -- and didn't even know they made them. Very interesting!!! Thanks for posting the pictures. Jerry Gay
