I had a rather expensive GE that I bought around 2006, and the interior started to rust about a year later. Then it blew up a couple years after. My current MW, a cheap Sunbeam I got on sale at Target three years ago has a couple small spots, but nothing major.

There are at least three houses I know of in my block that don't have dishwashers. When my neighbor Marilynn and her late husband renovated their kitchen they took out the machine that was there when they moved in. They preferred the cabinet space.

Barbara Hale was also in "Higher and Higher", a 1943 RKO Radio Picture starring Frank Sinatra.

I knew several people with the GE built-in cooktops. Two neighbors had the remote mounted controls - one on the wall off to the side, and the other on the front of the cabinet below. Several others I know had them hood mounted, some with pushbuttons, some with knobs. Frigidaire cooktops also had...

They were still branded as Maytag, but specific models for that particular store. This practice was very common among all appliance manufacturers. For example, the GE washers and dryers sold at Kmart or Woolco had different model numbers than those sold at independent GE dealers. The GE dealer...

Yeah, my cousins had to order new controls for theirs after spilling hot grease into them. The new assembly had knobs instead of pushbuttons.

That looks so good! I haven't made that pie in many years.

That's an interesting looking machine. Based on the design, I'd say it was made around 1930-1935.

Thanks, it looks good with that top.

John, I certainly understand why they used a back opening lid in a commercial machine, but why the Kenmore lid rather than the standard Whirlpool lid, which is normally used?

We had that Congowall in the basement bathroom for several years. It had been installed when the house was built in 1952. By the late 60s it looked like crap, so my dad put up some cheap paneling, which wasn't much better. That little bathroom is gone now, as that is where the new stairwell is.

I went to a picnic tonight, but no hamburgers, just brats, metts, and turkey sausage. We had it at a shelter in the park we hike in frequently. Unfortunately we had to contend with two dogs - Pit Bulls - that were hanging around the picnic area. They weren't too bad at first, but they tried to...

That washer was most likely made between 1973 and 1976. Hotpoint washers began being made at GE Louisville in 1973, and the top changed to the same as GE around 1977.

It looks like they used a Kenmore lid, but hinged at the rear like a regular Whirlpool model. What was the reason for doing that?

I've been past that factory many times going to or coming back from my sister's place - it's gigantic. She lives about 15-20 minutes away, and knows several people who work there, as well as some that work at the Clyde washer plant.

"never leave unattended" That's unfortunately what I did. Took out the fries that were done, left the rest to cook. Saw my neighbor girl Carol on her porch, and went over to talk to her about the pool. She saw smoke coming out the kitchen window, and by the time we got back, the pan of grease...

I rarely make hamburgers at home, and only when I cook out on the charcoal grill. I don't eat HB's very often due to health issues. If I make French fries at home, it's in the oven. The last time I deep fried them was in July 1973. I remember that because they caught fire, and did over $5000. in...

We had a Sunbeam electric mower back in the late 1960s. If I remember right, it was given to us by my dad's uncle, who had thought he might like it for mowing his small yard. We used it for two or three years, but it was narrow, and took a long time to do this large yard. More than once I ran...

I told my neighbor the other day that my generation should have only had half as many kids as they did, and those kids should have only had one fourth as many as they did. She agrees. That said, there are many good young people. A young lady that has been one of the managers at a Cracker Barrel...

After my mom passed away, I neglected to clean the filter in the Maytag A207 washer. Needless to say, it got pretty gunked up, and the clothes were coming out linty. I took it out and scrubbed with a brush, which helped a little. I decided to soak it in CLR for a while, which after rinsing and...
