KitchenAid Weekend

KAWE450V

 
This is a lower-end model that apparently doesn't have the larger-base agitator.  The large-base agitator covers the perforations in bottom of the basket, this machine's agitator doesn't.

It has a 1-speed motor per the feature-spec sticker.

V indicates 1989 model-year.  The serial will of course confirm the manufacture year and week.

Wow, that is just beautiful, there is nothing like a NOS washing machine!

And no you can't remove that protective film!!!!

Nice Washer

I was wondering about the agitation speed, but as the agitator is a regular sized base, it is probably the rapid stroke of a basic Whirlpool.

Nice find!

Awesome!  Yet another brand new vintage washer, and so close too!  Yay for not having to ship it!

Ye Gods.

1989 is "vintage" now?

Because it feels like it was week before last!
