F&P Top Loading Dryer
These were interesting dryers, this is the sort of unusual appliance that I sometimes like to collect. But just because it drys loads well without tangling one can not conclude that it is because it reverses tumbling. Most full size dryers have little or no problems with tangling, the only way you could prove that this F&P dryer does not tangle because of its reversing feature would be to disable the reversing and see how it does, I suspect that it still won't tangle due more to the unusual design of the drum and baffles.
Unfortunately these F&P dryers while good performers were certainly about the most problem prone and shortest lived of any full sized dryer sold in the US in the last 20 years. F&P ceased production of these dryers, if for no other reason but the fact that they were prone to catching fire.
