Maytag W&D Alert

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support AutomaticWasher.org:

I would love to have the dryer, as I already have the washer, and my mom could use a dependable washer as the new maytag she has, has already had a new timer, and the damn thing just quits to cool down after so many loads washed in a row.

Sandwich is only about 3 hrs. from peoria.
 
well....

Someone's B-day(mine) is at the end of this month, to find the same model set as my mom had would make a really nice present to myself.
 
I am SO excited about these..

Aside from our dryer eas electric, this is the same model set my parents bought in 1977 in Harvest gold, and I hated to see them go in 1996.
The best part is they are close!!
 
Thanks to all!

I am super excited about the Maytags, and will pick them up next weekend(hopefully)
The seller emailed today and is anxious for me to get them, and I am anxious to have them!!
I am planning on offering some extra $$$ for the delayed pickup.
Can't wait to see them!!
 
OMG!!!

Here's to hoping I never have as many washers as I have vacuums! I'd need a mansion!
I do love the old Maytags though, and really the only other vintage washer I would like to have someday would be a 1-18 of some type.

Greg: Can't wait to see you too, I have some ideas on how maybe I could have the Maytag hooked up and keep the Amana too.
My poor Amana is waiting for an audience with you as well.
 
Jeff, so glad you got this beautiful pair. Almond 08's are so rare. I think this is the best washer and dryer model Maytag ever made. Just luv 'em. Send us pics!

When my mom bought her 608 set in 1977 Almond was just coming out, I can remember the salesman telling mom about the new color, but he didn't yet have a machine for display. I will be curious to know when this set was made, Mom took delivery of her set in September of 1977.
 
Makes sense, Jeff. My 1977 catalogue doesn't even offer almond. I think almond really took off in 1979 with Maytag. How is the condition of the pair? My almond A612 looks like it just came out of the showroom- my cousin's identical model has rust all around the lid through no fault of hers. They look pretty good in the E-bay foto.

Congrats Jeff!

Hey Jeff!

Welcome to the world of washer obsession!! These Maytags are a great place to start!! It's all downhill from here, you know! :-)

Have fun and enjoy them!

Venus :-)
 
update

I have offered the seller some additional $$$ for the pair, namely because I feel they are worth it, and they are takign up space in his garage.
I've rented a pickup truck(how butch!) this weekend to retrieve them and the KA DW I won a couple of weeks ago.

Now to move some stuff around in Hooverland so I can accomodate a 2nd washer.

Venus: Thanks, these Maytags are probably my faves, although I like the look of the 1-18's too.

Bobby: Had I gotten my way, mom's 608's would have been coppertone. I still like that color today!
 
yes!

Boring is definately OUT!

I never said the Almond was bad either, just that I'd have preferred coppertone over the harvest gold.
Mom had a kitchen full of that gold stuff for a long time!
I think these Maytags will look nice in Almond.
 
i remember reading the laundry guide (sitting on top of dryer in listing?) cover to cover when i was a child. i esp remember the sudscake in the washer pictured in the guide. Mr Parker, do you already have a plan for refreshing/taking apart these machines when you get them? and i dont think youve spoken about the dryer? David
 
for a little while

these will live in Fred N's basement at Tarantula Arms. I will be able to have the Maytag washer hooked up here as well as my Amana, just have to make some room in Hooverland for a Maytag.
Not sure about the dryer yet.
