    Frigidaire Range with control tower clock

    I belong to a Mid Century Modern group on Facebook and a member there showed a picture of not only her vintage NuTone hood over the stove, but also a Frigidaire range whose design looks just like the control tower washers with the way the clock is positioned on the top left hand corner. It was...

    When did local department stores stop selling major appliances?

    The classic Kmart (think the big red K and turquoise mart) sold GE appliances in the 70s. I remember seeing the filter flo washer and matching dryer and the GE refrigerators and ranges being sold there. Their appliance departments were usually along the back wall near the layaway department and...

    Fun New Way To Wash Dishes

    Grant's did indeed have an in store restaurant called Bradford House. The one in the town I grew up in served everything on real china and I remember the food being so good. I felt like I was eating in a fancy restaurant when Mom would take me there to go shopping and then eat lunch

    Big Boy washer by Ametek/Troy - This sounds MEAN!!!

    The first hotel I worked at had one of those in the laundry. Ours wasn't coin operated. We just set the dial for the cycle, hit the start button, and off she went. It made those banging sounds when it went into spin and that buzz whenever it switched directions during the wash. It could clean...

    in 2019 what would be your dream vintage washer dryer set to own and use?

    A Frigidaire 1-18 set. Preferably in Poppy or White. Speed Queen set with the banging solenoids as it switches from agitate to spin. Had to give up my A412 when I moved as my SO already had a washer and dryer in the house and moving what I did across country was NOT cheap

    Question,,,What machines have you had the WORST luck with

    An avocado green Speed Queen dryer. The ignitor kept going bad on it. We even had a backup burner system ready to be put in, it finally went to the scrappers. Mom got tired of it going out all the time

    RCA matched set by WESTINGHOUSE?

    My sister had an RCA washer that was very much along the lines of a GE Filter Flo. She bought it new and got a good 8 years out of it before passing it down to my niece for her first home. It lasted another 3 years after that

    POD 9-15-17 Kenmore 700 On Sale!

    We had this machine in Coppertone. Mom bought it from a used appliance dealer for 75 bucks....I remember it having the gold agitator with the fabric softener dispenser on top of it. When she used it, Mom always used the "B" cycle. Our house was old and the hot water pressure to the basement was...

When I was cleaning in my laundry area, I noticed that some fabric softener had somehow dribbled onto the top of my dryer, I immediately wiped it off but it left behind some faint blue stains where the drops had landed....ACKK...

    POD 2/22/2017

    that would be a neat machine to have today....no running to the washer to add fabric softener, just fill the dispentser, push the button and done....I never heard of NuSoft....we used either Downy,Sta Puff,Final Touch or the long gone favorite of my mother which was Rain Barrel!

    My brother and I got to reminiscing about our dad and when he worked at Western Auto and asked me if I remembered the old Citation washing machine we had when I was little, I barely did.
