Lundress,

beats me? Maybe I know them, but not on here.
Do the seals, etc. on these hold up when they sit not being used?
There are a few used appliance reconditoners and sellers in the area.
It may be one of them selling the pair, or were bought from one of them.

OMG

I just saw these myself. Had these been in Cordoba Copper I would have jumped on them. Won't last long at this price.

806 Suds Saver!

 

 

Ad says avocado, but unless their camera really sucks OR the lighting is really, really bad, they look more like harvest gold to me.   And yes, they look really nice and at a reasonable price too!

The lighting looks sucky.

 

I've never seen six buttons in one cluster, on a MT panel like that.

I hope some that likes green saves them.

There was a member from years ago, who lived in Roseville.

You guys are good!

*LOL*

OldTVMan -

Dwight, are you still the owner and now the seller of these?

 

[centenialguy]

I want them,

but boss says no. They are like the ones on "That 70's show".
Color is of no matter to me, as no one ever sees our washer and dryer.

 

[oldtvman]

Yes, I still have them.. Never used them. They are still sitting in the same place!
If someone wants them here, let me know and the price will be what I spent for them ($300)
I had to jack it up on you know where, due to the fees.

 

[centenialguy]

They are worth it!

Even in addition to renting a truck to pick them up!

MY first time seeing a six-push button M-T washer!

Nice set in an unde-appreciated color... Sorry as a fellow-SE Michigander that I was not able to go out and see them, this past weekend...

Good luck to who gets this set and I hope it gets a good home & used in the best of health...

The Maytag set are still for sale.. I pulled the auction and thought it might be better (and cheaper for the buyer) to offer them here.

 

[centenialguy]

Is the dryer gas?

I don't have a 220 volt dryer outlet, but am not far away!
If I could only work on da bossy one.

 

[oldtvman]

Oh.. I was thinking.. I need two (White) dryers. An GE Adora gas or electric for my sis, and an Maytag Neptune (with the curved console) to go with the washer I just rebuilt, in gas or electric as well.

So if anyone is interested in the 'Tags and has one or the other, we could work something out.

 

[centenialguy]

Oh darn

it's electric.

 

[oldtvman]

Well.. They're back up on ebay.. A family member that wanted them, changed their mind.

I would like to get them out of the basement soon so I can do some work down there. Make an offer if interested!

What is a Suds-Saver feature?

Extra button--actually extra BUTTONS: A Suds-Saver, 2 buttons added to where there are normally 4; "Save", "Drain", next to the Load Size...

(Did I get it right?)

-- Dave

 

[petek]

First off you need a double wash basin by your washer.

When you activate the "suds saver" feature all the water and suds from the first wash cycle is diverted to your 2nd wash tub (if you have a double washtub) instead of going down the drain. Of course you have to have the plug in the drain so it doesn't drain out.  The machine then goes into its rinse cycle using fresh water,, spins and drains that down the other wash tub as normal.  When you do your next load of laundry the machine will then suck all that previously used water and suds back into the machine for re use in its first wash cycle.  I don't think you'd want to use it for a really soiled first load though. Mom had one on her old Kenmore and would use it.. Cuts water and detergent usage. 

 

[vacerator]

Need a double laundry basin?

It helps, if you want to use it or run the water while it is saving suds for the next load.

 

[revvinkevin]

Time for a little demo.... (2m 18s)

 

 

[delaneymeegan]

 

 

Petek, I'm loving your description of how a sudsaver works.   lol.

They went to a good home in Chicago last weekend!
