Hi Melvin, what does bring up a lot of memories not always great ones we worked on hundreds of these.

We’ve still got a few customers that have them.

It’s a fun washer to play with. It’s nothing that I would ever have in my home. It’s just a waste of water and a mediocre performer at best and I won’t even go into its problems.

The multi piece top was a real mess when people spilled detergents and bleach and things on it. It just went right into the cabinet. Got all over everything.

It’s priced properly.

Is this the machine that sudslocked so terribly? I knew someone who had one and it did not clear the suds before rinse and had to be set for an extra rinse to keep skin irritation at bay.

My condo came with one of these. Powder detergent residue was a big issue with this machine. It required liquid detergent or extra rinses.

The matching dryer tied the clothes up in a knot and permanently pressed wrinkles in the clothes. Not a fan of these!
