Congrats!

 

I was fully convinced you'd have nothing but a vintage Lady Kenmore set as daily drivers.

I wish

I have a vintage 800 but it's BURIED in a storage unit at the moment. Life happened.

Jason, congratulatoins. I hope it works well for you & Helen. I thought of you the other day when I spied in a dryer thread an exact match Kenmore 800 dryer to the 800 washer we both had at our childhood homes. And it looked in pristine shape.

Wow

First impressions! WATER WATER and MORE WATER. Lots of splashy water action. This ain't the Oasis. It fills all the way (fast) and totally rolls the clothes around. I actually used some regular Tide w/ Downy detergent and no suds problem at all.

I'm impressed already.

This machine definitely has fun factor.

Nice Jasson .   Glad to see you posting.  Looking forward for your video.

 

[gizmo]

good to hear from you again, Jason.

So the lid clears the cabinet...

Good luck or good judgement?

Happy washing

Chris.

Great to see your post Jason!!!!!

Jason congratulations on your new machine. I like the retro look as well. You once posted about the first dual action you saw in Sears thinking of the future. I think we are looking at the future in your machine. I can see how the elimination of control panels on a back splash and their cost will be eliminated. Best of luck with it. arthur/alr2903

Jason, I know you will love the results as well  as the method used in this washer.I bought a full size model for a cousin and was so impressed with the results as well as she was.
