Hive mind: Which are the best, most reliable brands?

Rich, that must explain a pattern I saw among family friends and relatives in my childhood during the 1960s, where there would be a full-featured washer but no dryer. Or, a TOL to MOL washer and a newer BOL dryer (many times a different mfg than the washer) as though they saved up for a few...

Much appreciated. At that link, you have pictures from previous seasons. And, here's a screenshot from a current season episode. That beast of a cook stove has stolen my heart.

Working on it now.

Yeah... Here's me, all late and all; I just now started bingeing Season 7. I'm happy that the set decorators finally changed something that bothered me: the laundry equipment got moved from the garage to that large room which seemed to have no defined use off the kitchen. Should have been there...

LCB is not dispensed until after wash, while the tub is draining - that's curious...

The scent (in the ambient air when the dryer was going), to me, was vaguely similar to the Necco Sweethearts 💓 Valentine's day candies.

I also noticed that the fireplace is in a weird location, like possibly a wall was put up at some point? And, yeah: that busy pink wallpaper in the boudoir would need to go. Phew! But, I was pleased to see that the butt-ugly fence erected to keep crazed fans of the show at a safe distance was...

Finally, after 30 years of obsessing about how the interior looks, 11222 Dilling Street goes on market in the age of Zillow, allowing us to be a virtual Lookey Lou. I was hoping to find a MCM building frozen in time at 1959, the year it was built. I was disappointed, as most of the property has...

Bob, Why Don't You Have a Water Softener? I paid $5k for mine, but I consider it a worthwhile investment.

I am pleased to see that they are mirroring real life and acknowledging that there are some instances where appliances die and/or get too impractical to fix...at which time, some households prefer to replace them with something new. Dan and Rosie seem to be the type who place no sentimental...

When draining and spinning, the pump cycles off and on. Is this action sensor-based, similar to how a sump pump works? Or, is it timer-based?

What was meant by "true" overflow rinsing? Is that based on recirculating filtration coupled with the overflow rinse?

Mama's Family Thanks, Greg!

Oh, yes: the Google Machine is where I found this photo of the White House laundry, circa 1909. And on Wikipedia, I learned that Abigail Adams, for a time, used the East Room - a very posh space for most of the WH history - to hang laundry to dry, as America's Mansion was still new, and a proper...

Apologies for the multiple postings.

Barbara Bush, in her autobiography, mentions her introductory tour of the White House including a stop at the laundry room, where there are multiple machines...but no detailed description as to type (standard-issue residential or not), age, or make.

"My Three Sons (1960)" featured a Norge pair, circa 1959. In both the Bryant Park house and the Los Angeles house, we rarely get to see the dryer - it's installed across the room from the washer, behind the kitchen wall. I have yet to find the episode where Steve Douglas fights with the...

Mama's Family (1983) The dryers on both the 1983-1985 seasons and the set retool after that were easy: both Kenmores (loved loved loved the 1961 KM in the earlier episodes). But, I had a harder time with the washing machines. The first years episodes appeared to feature a '62 or '63 Frigidaire...
