turquoisedude,....are these machines as heavy as they look ? Or heavier? lol. But seriously though, did Inglis have a version of these in the fifties ? I vaguely remember someone saying they did but am not sure.

Thank you turquoisedude for your reply. I feel a little embarrassed in this day and age not really knowing how to do these things because I always liked techy things,...anyway much appreciated. I will give it a shot or two. Would love to post some of my appliances. Thanks again !

Its like full circle. WP went back to having the inner workings hanging off of the cabinet again on their current platform.

This is a design I wish Whirlpool had stayed with. Before coming to this site originally in 2003 I had never known such machines existed . It makes me wonder if Maytag was influenced by WP for their own control panel design that came in 57? or 56? ...you Maytag folks know. As you said...

Can someone please help me with posting photos ? What steps do I need to do. I have tried and can't figure it out.I tried watching some tutorials on YouTube but does not seem to work. Can someone explain it fairly easily. I no longer have a PC so this is what I have to work with. Thank you for...

I think my model Tappan was around since the late seventies or early eighties because I remeber seeing it in older magazines and it is gold in color. Smallish oven and has the rolling mechanical clock. I remember seeing the WCI made ge units around 1988 or89. I think 1990 was the first year of...

An excellent versatile washer. Miss that machine.

Vacerator It's funny you should bring up Tappan making GE gas ranges in 1988 because I was just thinking about that article in consumer reports in 1987 or 88 and was trying to find photos of that GE gas range. My mom purchased a Tappan centennial 30" gas range right around that time in 87 or...

Speaking of solid tub machines. For you guys and gals that own one or two. What is the biggest or who made the largest capacity solid tub washer of any of the manufacturers ? I'm thinking probably Speed Queen . Would it be possible to make a super capacity solid tub today comparable to say the...

Soo sad. Just a matter of time here in the US.

I guess this is one of those times where looks can be deceiving. From the picture these machines look very well made and desirable . Was there ever a time when WCI built quality washers or appliances ? I know the Kelvinator top mount fridge my parents bought in 1984 lasted only eight years...

What Definitely helped WP was putting that silverware basket on the door to get more space on the bottom rack despite a tower. I always thought that was a clever idea that WP did that.

I think a visit to the Beltsville museum would be a far far more entertaining and enjoyable experience. While those very early washers are neat they simply...to me anyway,...are not nearly as interesting as the early automatics.

I don't get my clothes filthy so it is hard to compare which one cleans better. Let's hope SQ gets this new design right from the get go. I'm all for HE TL ers if SQ can avoid the common problems WP had with their designs, and much of that came from folks not reading directions and not...

Fedders did a pretty good job with Norge. The washer we had was a tank.

This might sound sacrilegious to some but the turnover on a dd reminds me a little of the GM Frigidaires in that there is a steady rollover with very little lateral movement. The dd washers have more "flow" I would say. More efficient definitely, but not nearly as fun and dramatic as a speed...

Like I said I didn't have that experience with my machines. YMMV. The 90 series i had, had three speeds and i would use the middle speed on things like shirts or Kakis which were easier to turnover than say sturdy cottons like denim. Very versatile washer with I think it had 6 water temperature...

The Kenmore I purchased in 2003 was one of the last with the side opening lids before they went to the flip up lids. I got rid of that machine all because the plug broke off of it too. I could kick myself for that stupid move. That was one of the most versatile washers I ever owned. The only...

Combo52, do you have any insight why WP even went to a SD to begin with ? I find it interesting that after 30+ years at that point of WP building ND machines why they just didn't stick with that. As much as like my current SQ TL washer I would give it up for the versatility of the KM DD 90...

I appreciate them more now than I did when my mother had one in the seventies and early eighties. Thanks to that huge white "burpolator" they could really wash a small two pound load at a truly "ex low" water level. No nonsense tough washers.
