GE filter-flo

GE needs to bring back the filter-flos.

You know, the more I look at this minty FF the more I am starting to feel the same way lol. These weren't bad washers.

A K-Mart bought one with the lid opening to the left which my grandma had for a many years was pretty much the only Filter-Flo in my immediate family--separate speeds, as in Normal/Gentle for both agitation and spin, three water levels and it was a standard capacity machine, and boasted Hot/Warm, Warm/Cold, and Cold/Cold temperature settings...

I remember these washers. I had one which could clean anything. It was the one with the ramped activator and minibasket. I will forever miss that machine.

No, just remembered my one long-overdue visit to an uncle's house back in 1996, boasted a filter-fly washer there, from the '80's I'd guess, with an Amana electric dryer from that era I'd visited, replacing its burnt out companion...

 

Not sure if it would have had the mini-basket but it was fairly near-top of the line, so most-likely, but if not noticeably present, then never to seldom used...

It's not unusual for mini-basket tubs, filter-flo pans, and the fabric softener dispensers to become separated or lost from GE washers over time, especially if the party didn't use them.

Back in the day, I was only concerned about the filter pans and had to buy a few pans because the old ones were either missing or clogged (and I didn't realize back then they could be cleaned).

I never bought fabric softener dispensers or mini-tubs and if I found a washer with those it was a pleasant surprise.
