    Kirby vacuums now selling at Costco

        I have a Kirby Diamond G series, one of my favorite Kirbys as it has two speeds.  We have mostly wood on the main level, room-sized rug in living room and smaller rugs in other rooms.  The low speed on the Kirby is one of the best features for odd jobs like these.  Although the dog doesn't...

    Clean FF

        Have seen a handful of these BOL GE/Hotpoint washers around.  Just as John said, it was only a few dollars more (literally) to get the next model up with 3 temp/3 water level selections and at least the pretense of a PP or delicate cycle on the dial.     Mom's first GE FF was a 3/3 low...

    New Old Stock Montgomery Ward Dishwasher Sandusky, OH $30

        Years ago, I pulled one like this from a friend's rental property, complaints of not cleaning and leaks.  The ridge of the tank that the lower rack rides on was riddled with rust holes.  A BOL plastic-tub Hotpoint was a welcome sight for the tenant.

    Expectation VS Reality   "We've been feeding the goats out of it and then discovered it's worth some money, so we hosed it off."

    Kitchenaid KDS-18E

        That sounds great - good work.  Does everything else seem to function properly now?  What a beautiful machine.

    Coppertone 1967/68 Kenmore electric dryer

    I saw this set, in Coppertone, at an estate sale many years ago.  That was a time when machines & sets like these were not infrequently stumbled upon.  I admired them, they are cool, and filed them away in memory.  Now, however, I'd smack down the money and run fetch the dolly.

    Westinghouse Portable DW

    I had this exact machine - found at a thrift store in 1991 or so.  It was missing the black cycle indicator ring on the control knob, but I marked a notch for "off" at the end of the dry period and just turned the knob slightly to start the machine.  It cleaned beautifully and I used it for a...

    My first Wash-IN

        What a fun collection you have, a little taste of all the "majors".     Thanks for sharing the sights and enjoyment with us, brings back memories of my first visit to Robert's 20+ years ago.

    Wanted: early '70s Hotpoint dishwasher!

        We've seen a few of these come up over the years from this same era - early 70's.   My aunt in KC had the HP in pic #1-2, always loved the sound of the water swishing when it was running and the scents of vinyl/porcelain/chlorine/bakelite when finished.  Reputed to be a positively pathetic...

    New Frigidaire Disposal

        The great disposer debate...   Ralph, I use my disposer much like what you've described your sister's usage is.     When my just-out-of-warranty 3.25 year old ISE Badger (with SS grind components) started leaking, I shopped all of the ISE/Moen/Cheap-China models out there.  Intending...

    Maytag 906 set

        Very nice looking set, welcome to the ease and convenience of pushbutton living! Does the washer cut out in spin, particularly while draining?  Sounds like a good going through both machines will do the trick to make them daily drivers.  Congrats.

    Apex Wash-a-Matic re-Restoration and Full Cycle Video

        I was already a quiet machine, it must be nearly silent now.     What an excellent job, congrats on another great washer renewed.

    Free Standard Capacity LAT Maytag

        Nice freebie, these standard tub orbital washers are really good performers.  I could use a large capacity white tub, have been keeping my eye out for one but haven't had a lot of time to hunt lately.

    FREE Speed Queen

    Don't take my wringer washer!     I've seen a handful of these SQ washers for sale around here, likely for the reasons we can all surmise.  A couple of them have been in rural areas, I can only imagine the disaster that washer could create with a big load of muddy, greasy cover-alls at...

    Avocado Whirlpools.

        They do look really nice - love those blue Super Surgilators.   Other listings from same seller show Dearborn, MI.

    The Clamshell - washing again!

        Very nice work, as always, Ben.  You are right about the engineering of that panel, it's a marvel.
