Consumer Reports-Great old appliances

[maytag63]

Just received my Consumer Reports in the mail today. It has an article about old appliances. Picture of the owner with their old working appliance and story. Nice read!

The 1954 Kenmore Dryer pic is either a typo or the owner has it wrong. That model is about 1962/1963 vintage, not 1954!!

Just a word in your shell like ear, since many pages from the group are trolled by search engines like Google,and stored within their archives <br

I saw this at the Orthodontist's office this morning. A good laugh at the 1960 KA dishwasher, her daughter is on her third dishwasher and one of the reasons for it's longevity is that she rinses everything <br
I suspected the story behind the Kenmore dryer didn't begin in 1954 and was more sentimental legend than hard fact.

Yup I'm gonna have to delete scans those because we could get in trouble from CR since they are recently published. It's one thing to scan 45 year old CR issues, its another to scan brand new ones.

I was wondering where the scans went but now I know...I thought it was something going on with my computer but it wasnt.

CR should be happy

Now we all will be going to buy the issue. So they really will make out much better.....

I think CR should compare new appliances with the best of the old with every rating. For example, how would the 74 Maytag washer compare with today's? (I think I know the answer!)
