We are cleaning out a friends house and found this Hamilton Beach Steam Iron in it's origianl box. I brought it home and gave it a try. It works great. Has polished stainless steel soleplate and also has large water tank. I had no idea Hamilton Beach made irons this good. It works almost as good...

I had one of these and left it when I moved. I found this one today at Goodwill for $4.99. I was one happy customer! Now i can sit down and Iron again! Of course using my grandmother's Hoover Steam iron with the stainless soleplate. This is ironing heaven!

Just got back from "The Home Depot". Has anyone seen the brand new Maytag Centennial top load washer with the glass window in the lid? It looks like the windows that we saw in the washers of the 50's. This is NOT the Bravos but the regular top load Maytags. The model #mvwc700v. It has a higher...

A friend called today and wanted to know what would be a good choice for a portable dishwasher? I told him we had a top of the line Whirlpool stainless that has only been used 2-3 times since we built this house. I know nothing about dishwashers but I told him I know some guys who would have...

I was cleaning some things yesterday and ran across the book that came with my parents Bendix washer. It had the installation date as 1948. I remember the story that my father bought it just before I was born. What's the story with the Bendix's? I remember my mom and grandmother both had the...

We had an old dirty stained canvas gym bag that had coffee,coke and who knows what else what else spilled in it and it had been thrown in the back of the truck every day used to carry gym clothes. Tom was going to just throw it away and I was loading the machine with dirty gym clothes so I...

After using my Maytag 806 washer and dryer for many years (33 years to be exact) I was used to throwing in a load any time there were dirty clothes around. My question is now that I have been "converted" by you guys to the front load Neptune washer and dryer is it easier on the machine to do...

My ex called last night and said my old Frigidaire was not cooling correctly. I just loved that Frigidaire. So much chrome! It was a bottom freezer. It matched my Frigidaire Custom Imperial stove. I left them at the old house. The stove is still working perfecly. It has the heat minder and speed...

I wanted to know what you guys thought was a full load in the Neptune? Growing up with a Frigidare tl and having a Maytag 806 for 34 years I was guilty of doing multiple small loads. The instructions say you can fill the drum. Is is better to do more smaller loads or fewer full loads? I do want...

Wishing all the best for the holiday. I just finished lemon merengue pie and Southern coconut cake for dinner. When does the fun start!

This is my new Convection range. It is very good (although not even close to how good my old Frididare Custom Imperial)I do love it. It has convection oven and the oven has the bake element below the oven like the Hotpoints of the eary 1950's. I may have a new stove but still love my old...

The Maytags are doing the Saturday laundry.

Just wanted to post an update. I have had my Maytag Neptune washer and dryer for about 5 months. I have never been so pleased with any new product. I have been laudering Thanksgiving linens and am just amazed at how well it removes the stains. It has also proved far superior for getting the...

Just watched the story on Good Morning America about closing Maytag. They showed the last day in the factory and sure enough they were making the Neptune washer. I am grateful I learned about the closing from this forum and bought my Neptunes this last July! The new Whirlpools are siting in my...

I had the repairman at the house today to make repairs on my new Whirlpool built-in microwave. He took a look at my new Maytag Neptunes. He gave me the following advise: (1) always use the correct soap. Do not try and use a smaller amout of regular soap. He said the sudds gets into the main...

You guys have converted me from a top load fan to a front load lover in less than a week. I love the new Neptune. It is so quiet. It's like comparing (in vacuum cleaner terms) a Royal Dirt Devil to the sound of an older model G Electrolux!I like the new dryer too. I hated the why the Whirlpool...

I would like to see what you guys think about the Maytag Neptune washer. I have posted before about how I just got a new top of the line Whirlpool tl washer and dryer. I really don't like them. Both are very noisy. I had a Maytag washer and dryer that I had for 34 years and both were still...

Just got home from a trip to H.H.Greggs. I saw the new Maytag top load 'Centennial". I just love the back panel. It reminds me of my old Maytags. I wish I had seen these before I bought my new Whirlpool washer and dryer. The dial is in the center with other controls on each side of center dail...

I was reading the consumer reports testing of the early automatic washers and was surprised to see the Fridgidare washer was rated not acceptable because it tangled the clothes. My grandparents had an early 1950 Frigidare washer and dryer. They used them until they moved out of their home in the...

Does anyone know where would be a good place to find a metal Rid-Jid spread wing knee Room ironing board? I have been watching ebay. The new ironing boards are masde so cheap!These were from the 1950's and 60's. Thanks
