Early KA Laundry Brochures

[DADoES]

 
Wasn't sure if these scans belong in Imperial or Deluxe sections, but they date back more than 20 years so figured Imperial is it.

KitchenAid Laundry Products brochure seemingly dated 11-1986.

The next three scans are from a different brochure apparently dated 2-1988.  It includes the full product line -- dishwashers, trash compactors, disposers, laundry, wall ovens, countertop microwaves, an OTR microwave, gas & electric cooktops, drop-in and freestanding ranges, refrigerators, undercounter ice maker, and hot water dispenser.  Only the laundry pages are shown here.

A rotary-dial pair is added.

Nice Broshures

Thanks for posting, They also include the rare 24" stack KA  Gas Laundry Center that Nick in Minneapolis rescued for us. The machine he rescued was never used still bolted to the wooden shipping skid, YAY.

I have that brochure

I worked at Whirlpool in 1986. The KA Thin-Twin was cool. Yes I'd love to find one of those today.

I had both of these machines....

In about 1989, I bought the electronic models. For three weeks the Whirlpool teck tried to get the washer to work. You would select the cycle and it would immediately trip the breaker. They replaced everything electrical on that machine and never could get it to do anything but trip the breaker. I had them trade them out for the push button rapid advance models not realizing that they were VERY inflexible on the cycles. As far as I was concerned, 8 minutes was not long enough to wash anything! Finally got rid of them and bought a pair of Maytag LAT900's. Sister still uses them today.

It was fun to look at the early Kitchenaid laundry line-up; thanks for sharing, Glen.
